Comments

The general recursion relation T(n,k)= (m*n - m*k + 1)*T(n - 1, k - 1) + k*(m*k - (m - 1))*T(n - 1, k) connects several sequences for differing values of m. These are: m = 0 yields A008277, m = 1 yields A166960, m = 2 yields this sequence, and m = 3 yields A166962. These sequences are, in essence, generalized Stirling numbers of the second kind. - G. C.
