Comments

If the array is transposed, T(n,k) is the number of oriented rows of n colors using up to k different colors. The formula would be T(n,k) = [n==0] + [n>0]*k^n. The generating function for column k would be 1/(1-k*x). For T(3,2)=8, the rows are AAA, AAB, ABA, ABB, BAA, BAB, BBA, and BBB. - Robert A. Russell, Nov 08 2018

T(n,k) is the number of multichains of length n from {} to [k] in the Boolean lattice B_k. - Geoffrey Critzer, Apr 03 2020
