Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of arrangements of k non-attacking rooks on an n X n right triangular board with every square controlled by at least one rook.

%C See A146304 for algorithm and PARI code to produce this sequence.

%C Equivalently, the number of maximal independent vertex sets in the n-triangular honeycomb bishop graph with k vertices. A bishop can move along two axes in the triangular honeycomb grid.
