Equivalently, the number of compositions of n*(k + 1) into n parts with maximum part size 2*k+1. - Andrew Howroyd, Oct 14 2017

FORMULA

Empirical: T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..floor(k*n/(2*k+1))} (-1)^i*binomial(n,i)*binomial((k+1)*n-(2*k+1)*i-1,n-1).

The above empirical formula is true and can be derived from the formula for the number of compositions with given number of parts and maximum part size. - Andrew Howroyd, Oct 14 2017

Empirical for rows:

T(1,k) = 1

T(2,k) = 2*k + 1

T(3,k) = 3*k^2 + 3*k + 1

T(4,k) = (16/3)*k^3 + 8*k^2 + (14/3)*k + 1

T(5,k) = (115/12)*k^4 + (115/6)*k^3 + (185/12)*k^2 + (35/6)*k + 1

T(6,k) = (88/5)*k^5 + 44*k^4 + 46*k^3 + 25*k^2 + (37/5)*k + 1

T(7,k) = (5887/180)*k^6 + (5887/60)*k^5 + (2275/18)*k^4 + (357/4)*k^3 + (6643/180)*k^2 + (259/30)*k + 1

T(m,k) = (1/Pi)*integral_{x=0..Pi} (sin((k+1/2)x)/sin(x/2))^m dx; for the proof see Dirichlet's Kernel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_kernel); so f(m,n) = (1/Pi)*integral_{x=0..Pi} (Sum_{k=-n..n} exp(I*k*x))^m dx = sum(integral(exp(I(k_1+...+k_m).x),x=0..Pi)/Pi,{k_1,...,k_m=-n..n}) = sum(delta_0(k1+...+k_m),{k_1,...,k_m=-n..n}) = number of arrays of m integers in -n..n with sum zero. - Yalcin Aktar, Dec 03 2011
