COMMENTS
A palindromic composition of a natural number m is an ordered partition of m into N+1 natural numbers (or parts), p_0, p_1, ..., p_N, of the form m = p_0 + p_1 + ... + p_N such that p_j = p_{N-j}, for each j in {0,...,N}. Two palindromic compositions, sum_{j=0..N} p_j and sum_{j=0..N} q_j (say), are identical if and only if p_j = q_j, j = 0,...,N; otherwise they are taken to be distinct.

T(n,k) is defined for n,k >= 0. T(n,k) = T(n,n) = A016116(n) for k>= 0. - Alois P. Heinz, Dec 11 2013
