%N Square array A(n,k), n>=1, k>=1, read by antidiagonals: A(n,k) is the number of n-colorings of the complete bipartite graph K_(k,k).

%C The complete bipartite graph K_(n,n) has 2*n vertices and n^2 = A000290(n) edges. The chromatic polynomial of K_(n,n) has 2*n+1 coefficients.

%C A(n,k) is the number of pairs of strings of length k over an alphabet of size n such that the strings do not share any letter. - _Lin Zhangruiyu_, Aug 19 2022

%F A(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..k} (n-j)^k * S2(k,j) * Product_{i=0..j-1} (n-i).

%F A(n,n)/n = A282245(n).

%e A(3,1) = 6 because there are 6 3-colorings of the complete bipartite graph K_(1,1): 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2.

%Y Rows n=1-3 give: A000004, A007395, A068293(k+1).
