A221876 T(n,k) is the number of order-preserving full contraction mappings (of an n-chain) with exactly k fixed points.
1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1, 12, 5, 2, 1, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 704, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 1536, 704, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 3328, 1536, 704, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1

Examples
T(5,3) = 5 because there are exactly 5 order-preserving full contraction mappings (of a 5-chain) with exactly 3 fixed points, namely: (12333), (12334), (22344), (23345), (33345). Triangle begins: 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1, 12, 5, 2, 1, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 704, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 1536, 704, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, 3328, 1536, 704, 320, 144, 64, 28, 12, 5, 2, 1, ... Note that column k is column 1 shifted down by k positions. Row 4 is [12, 5, 2, 1]: in the compositions of 4 [ 1] [ 1 1 1 1 ] [ 2] [ 1 1 2 ] [ 3] [ 1 2 1 ] [ 4] [ 1 3 ] [ 5] [ 2 1 1 ] [ 6] [ 2 2 ] [ 7] [ 3 1 ] [ 8] [ 4 ] there are 12 parts=1, 5 parts=2, 2 part=3, and 1 part=4. - _Joerg Arndt_, Sep 01 2013

Mathematica
T[n_, n_] = 1; T[n_, k_] := (n - k + 3)*2^(n - k - 2); Table[T[n, k], {n, 1, 11}, {k, 1, n}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 21 2018 *)
Formula
T(n,n) = 1, T(n,k) = (n-k+3)*2^(n-k-2) for n>=2 and n > k > 0.
T(2*n+1,n+1) = T(n+1,1) = A045623(n) for n>=0.
T(n,k) = A045623(n-k), n>=1, 1<=k<=n. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 01 2013
