COMMENTS
Two color patterns are equivalent if the colors are permuted.
A chiral row is not equivalent to its reverse.
T(n,k)=Xi_k(P_n) which is the number of non-equivalent distinguishing partitions of the path on n vertices, with at most k parts. Two partitions P1 and P2 of a graph G are said to be equivalent if there is a nontrivial automorphism of G which maps P1 onto P2. A distinguishing partition is a partition of the vertex set of G such that no nontrivial automorphism of G can preserve it. - Bahman Ahmadi, Sep 02 2019

FORMULA
T(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..k} (S2(n,j) - Ach(n,j)) / 2, where S2 is the Stirling subset number A008277 and Ach(n,k) = [n>=0 & n<2 & n==k] + [n>1]*(k*Ach(n-2,k) + Ach(n-2,k-1) + Ach(n-2,k-2)).
T(n,k) = (A278984(k,n) - A305749(n,k)) / 2 = A278984(k,n) - A320750(n,k) = A320750(n,k) - A305749(n,k).
T(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..k} A320525(n,j).
