The Fibonacci group F(r,n) has presentation <a_1,a_2,...,a_n|a_1*a_2*...*a_r=a_{r+1},...>, where there are n relations, obtained from the first relation by applying the permutation (1,2,,n) to the subscripts and reducing subscripts mod n. Then T(n,k) = |F(n,k)|.
T(7,5) was not known in 1998 (Chalk).

EXAMPLE
|
The array begins:
k = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
----------------------------------------------------------
n=1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=2: 1 1 8 5 11 0 29 0 0 0 ...
n=3: 2 8 2 0 22 1512 0 0 0 0 ...
n=4: 3 3 63 3 0 0 0 0 ? 0 ...
n=5: 4 24 0 624 4 0 0 0 0 0 ...
n=6: 5 5 5 125 7775 5 0 0 0 0 ...
n=7: 6 48 342 0 ? 7^6-1 6 0 0 0 ...
n=8: 7 7 0 7 ? 0 8^7-1 7 0 0 ...
n=9: 8 80 8 6560 0 0 0 9^8-1 8 0 ...
n=10 9 9 999 4905 9 ? ? 0 10^9-1 9 ...
...
For example, T(2,5) = 11, since the presentation <a,b,c,d,e | ab=c, bc=d, cd=e, de=a, ea=b> defines the cyclic group of order 11. This example is due to John Conway.
This table is based on those in Johnson (1976) and Thomas (1989), supplemented by values from Chalk (1998). We have ignored the n=1 row when reading the table by antidiagonals.
