Formula

T(n,k) = t(n-k, k); t(0,0) = 1, t(n,m) = 0 if n < 0 or m < 0, else t(n,m) = f(m)*t(n-1,m) + f(n)*t(n,m-1), where f(x) = 8*x + 2.

Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k) = A144828(n).

From G. C. Greubel, Mar 24 2022: (Start)

T(n, k) = (a*k + b)*T(n-1, k) + (a*(n-k) + b)*T(n-1, k-1), with T(n, 0) = 1, a = 8, and b = 2.

T(n, n-k) = T(n, k).

T(n, 0) = A000079(n).

T(n, 1) = 2^(n-1)*(5^n - 2*n - 1).

T(n, 2) = 2^(n-3)*(3^(2*n+1) -2*(2*n+1)*5^n -1 +4*n^2). (End)
