%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of perfect matchings on {1, 2, ..., 2n} with k disjoint strings of adjacent short pairs.

%C Number of configurations with k connected components (consisting of domino matchings) in the game of memory played on the path of length 2n, see [Young].

%e For n=2 and k=1 the configurations are (1,4),(2,3) (i.e. a single short pair) and (1,2),(3,4) (i.e. two adjacent short pairs); hence T(2,1) = 2.
