Comments

Consider the arrangements of n circles described in A250001.

Note that the sum of the 4th row must be equal to A250001(4) = 173.

Formula

T(n,k) = A274818(n,k)/k.

Example

Triangle begins:
1;
0, 2, 1;
0, 0, 4, 4, 2, 0, 4;
0, 0, 0, ...
...
For n = 3 and k = 5 there are 2 arrangements of 3 circles in the affine plane forming 5 regions, including the regions that do not belong to the circles, so T(3,5) = 2.
For n = 3 and k = 6 there are no arrangements of 3 circles in the affine plane forming 6 regions, including the regions that do not belong to the circles, so T(3,6) = 0.
Of course, there is a right triangle of all zeros starting from the second row.

Crossrefs
