Comments

The diagonal B(n, n) gives the Bernoulli numbers B_n = B_n(1). The formula is due to L. Kronecker and the generalization to Fukuhara, Kawazumi and Kuno.

Formula

B(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k}(((-1)^(j-n)/(j+1))*binomial(k+1, j+1)*Sum_{i=0..j}(i^n*(j-i+1)^(k-n))) if n >= 1 and B(0, 0) = 1.

B_n = B(n, n) = Sum_{j=0..n}((-1)^(n-j)/(j+1))*binomial(n+1,j+1)*(Sum_{i=0..j}i^n).

T(n, k) = numerator(B(n, k)).

Maple

B := (n, k) -> `if`(n = 0, 1, add(((-1)^(j-n)/(j+1))*binomial(k+1, j+1)*add(i^n*(j-i+1)^(k-n), i=0..j), j=0..k)):
for n from 0 to 8 do seq(numer(B(n, k)), k=0..n) od;

Mathematica

B[0, 0] = 1; B[n_, k_] := Sum[(-1)^(j-n)/(j+1)*Binomial[k+1, j+1]* Sum[i^n*(j-i+1)^(k-n) , {i, 0, j}] , {j, 0, k}];
