Number of set partitions C'_t(n) of {1,2,...,t} into at most n parts, with an even number of elements in each part distinguished by marks and such that no part contains both 1 and t (each unmarked) or both i and i+1 (each unmarked) for some i with 1 <= i < t; triangle C'_t(n), t>=0, 0<=n<=t, read by rows.

COMMENTS
C'_t(n) is the number of sequences of t non-identity top-to-random shuffles that leave a deck of n cards invariant, if each shuffle is permitted to flip the orientation of the card it moves.
C'_t(n) = <(pi-1_{BSym_n})^t, 1_{BSym_n}> where pi is the permutation character of the hyperoctahedral group BSym_n = C_2 wreath Sym_n given by its imprimitive action on a set of size 2n. This gives a combinatorial interpretation of C'_t(n) using sequences of box moves on pairs of Young diagrams.
C'_t(t) is the number of set partitions of a set of size t with an even number of elements in each part distinguished by marks and such that no part contains both 1 and t (each unmarked) or both i and i+1 (each unmarked) for some i with 1 <= i < t.
C'_t(n) = C'_t(t) if n > t.
FORMULA
C'_t(n) + C'_t(n-1) = Sum_{s=0..t-1} binomial(t-1,s)*A261275(s,n-1) for n>=1.
E.g.f.: diagonal is exp(1/2*(exp(2*x)-2*x-1)).
C'_t(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} A261318(t,i).
