Formula
T(2n+1,k) = A208535(2n+1,k)/2 for n > 0, T(2n,k) = (A208535(2n,k) + (k*(k-1)^n)/2)/2. - Andrew Howroyd, Mar 12 2017
Empirical for row n:
n=1: a(k) = k
n=2: a(k) = (1/2)*k^2 - (1/2)*k
n=3: a(k) = (1/6)*k^3 - (1/2)*k^2 + (1/3)*k
n=4: a(k) = (1/8)*k^4 - (1/4)*k^3 + (3/8)*k^2 - (1/4)*k
n=5: a(k) = (1/10)*k^5 - (1/2)*k^4 + k^3 - k^2 + (2/5)*k
n=6: a(k) = (1/12)*k^6 - (1/2)*k^5 + (3/2)*k^4 - (7/3)*k^3 + (23/12)*k^2 - (2/3)*k
n=7: a(k) = (1/14)*k^7 - (1/2)*k^6 + (3/2)*k^5 - (5/2)*k^4 + (5/2)*k^3 - (3/2)*k^2 + (3/7)*k
