Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Triangle read by rows: T(n,0)=B(n) (the Bell numbers, A000110(n)), T(n,k)=0 for k < 0 or k > n, T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1) for n >= 1, 0 <= k <= n.

COMMENTS
Row sums = 1, 2, 5, 13, 36, 109, 369, ...
Columns 0,1 and 2 yield A000110, A005001 and A029761, respectively.
EXAMPLE
First few rows of the triangle:
1;
1, 1;
2, 2, 1;
5, 4, 3, 1;
15, 9, 7, 4, 1;
52, 24, 16, 11, 5, 1;
203, 76, 40, 27, 16, 6, 1;
...
(4,3) = 16 = 7 + 9 = (3,3) + (3,2).
MAPLE
with(combinat): T:=proc(n, k) if k=0 then bell(n) elif k<0 or k>n then 0 else T(n-1, k)+T(n-1, k-1) fi end: for n from 0 to 11 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
