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) is the number of non-descending sequences with length k such that the maximum of the length and the last number is n.

%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of non-descending sequences with length k such that the maximum of the length and the last number is n.

%C Also the T(n,k) is the number of integer partitions (of any positive integer) with length k such that the maximum of the length and the largest part is n.

%C When k < n, then the last number is n.

%F T(n,n) = binomial(2*n-1,n).

%F T(n,k) = binomial(k+n-2, n-1) for k < n.
