In other words, the sum of any two elements of S does not equal n+1. For example, {1,2,5} is an antisymmetric subset of {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}. If n is odd, (n+1)/2 cannot be an element of an antisymmetric subset of {1,2,...,n}. (Note that for n=0, we define {1,...,n} to be the empty set, and thus T(0,0)=1 since the empty set is vacuously antisymmetric.) %C A188440 We note, for example, that T(100,k) provides the number of possible size-k committees of the U.S. Senate in which no two members are from the same state. %C A188440 Triangle, read by rows, A013609 rows repeated. - _Philippe Deléham_, Apr 09 2012 %C A188440 Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (1, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...)
