T(3,2)=6 considers the CP with the 3^2=9 elements (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3), and does not count the 3 of them which are (2,1),(3,1) and (3,2).
T(3,3) = 10 because the ways to distribute the 3 objects into the three containers are: (3,0,0) (0,3,0) (0,0,3) (2,1,0) (1,2,0) (2,0,1) (1,0,2) (0,1,2) (0,2,1) (1,1,1), for a total of 10 possibilities.
T(3,3)=10 since (x^2/(x-1))^3 = (x+1+1/x+O(1/x^2))^3 = x^3+3x^2+6x+10+O(x).
T(4,2)=10 since there are 10 nondecreasing functions f from {1,2} to {1,2,3,4}. Using <f(1),f(2)> to denote such a function, the ten functions are <1,1>, <1,2>, <1,3>, <1,4>, <2,2>, <2,3>, <2,4>, <3,3>, <3,4>, and <4,4>. - _Dennis P. Walsh_, Apr 07 2011
T(4,0) + T(4,1) + T(4,2) + T(4,3) = 1 + 4 + 10 + 20 = 35 = T(4,4). - _Jonathan Sondow_, Jun 28 2014

Consider the array
2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ... = A054977(n)
1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, ... = 1/(n+1) = 1/A000027(n)
1/3, 1/6, 1/10, 1/15, 1/21, 1/28, ... = 2/((n+2)*(n+3)) = 1/A000217(n+2)
1/10, 1/20, 1/35, 1/56, 1/84, 1/120, ... = 6/((n+3)*(n+4)*(n+5)) =1/A000292(n+2) (see the triangle T(n,k)).
Every row is an autosequence of the second kind. (See OEIS Wiki, Autosequence.)
By decreasing antidiagonals the denominator of the array is a(n).
Successive vertical denominators: A088218(n), A000984(n), A001700(n), A001791(n+1), A002054(n), A002694(n).
Successive diagonal denominators: A165817(n), A005809(n), A045721(n), A025174(n+1), A004319(n). (End)
Without the first row (2, 1, 1, 1, ... ), the array leads to A165257(n) instead of a(n). - _Paul Curtz_, Jun 19 2018
