FORMULA
m(3) = [1 - 1/n, 1/n, 0, 0; 1 - 1/n, 0, 1/n, 0; 1 - 1/n, 0, 0, 1/n; 0, 0, 0, 1], is the probability/transition matrix for three consecutive "0" -> "containing 000".
EXAMPLE
For n = 4 and k = 5, there are 40 strings: {00000, 00001, 00002, 00003, 00010, 00011, 00012, 00013, 00020, 00021, 00022, 00023, 00030, 00031, 00032, 00033, 01000, 02000, 03000, 10000, 10001, 10002, 10003, 11000, 12000, 13000, 20000, 20001, 20002, 20003, 21000, 22000, 23000, 30000, 30001, 30002, 30003, 31000, 32000, 33000}.
