%N Rectangular array T(n,m), read by upward antidiagonals: T(n,m) is the number of difunctional (regular) binary relations between an n-element set and an m-element set.

%C T(n,m) is the number of difunctional (regular) binary relations between an n-element set and an m-element set.

%C From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Feb 09 2021: (Start)

%C From Knopfmacher and Mays (2001): "Let G be a labeled graph, with edge set E(G) and vertex set V(G). A composition of G is a partition of V(G) into vertex sets of connected induced subgraphs of G." "We will denote by C(G) the number of distinct compositions that exist for a given graph G."

%C By Theorem 10 in Knofmacher and Mays (2001), T(n,m) = C(K_{n,m}) = Sum_{i=1..n+1} A341287(n,i)*i^m, where K_{n,m} is the complete bipartite graph with n+m vertices and n*m edges. For values of T(n,m), see the table on p. 10 of the paper.

%C Huq (2007) reproved the result using different methodology and derived the bivariate e.g.f. of T(n,m). (End)

%F T(n, m) = Sum_{i=1..n} (Stirling2(m, i-1)*i! + Stirling2(m, i)*(i+1)! + Stirling2(m, i+1)*(i+1)!)*Stirling2(n, i).

%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Feb 09 2021: (Start)

%F T(n,m) = Sum_{i=1..n+1} A341287(n,i)*i^m = Sum_{i=1..m+1} A341287(m,i)*i^n. (See Knopfmacher and Mays (2001) and Huq (2007).)

%F Bivariate e.g.f.: Sum_{n,m >= 1} T(n,m)*(x^n/n!)*(y^m/m!) = exp((exp(x) - 1)*(exp(y) - 1) + x + y) - exp(x) - exp(y) + 1. (This is a modification of Eq. (7) in Huq (2007), p. 4.) (End)
