Comments

The sets may be empty. A list is an ordered set. The lists may even contain multiple empty sets.

As a square, the rows are the weighted partial sums of the rows of triangle A089231.

Given a partition P of the set {1, 2, ..., n} in a list of sets, a crossing in P are four integers [a, b, c, d] with 1 <= a < b < c < d <= n for which a, c are together in a set, and b, d are together in a different set. A list of noncrossing sets is a partition with no crossings.

Examples

			T(4, 3) = 75.
There are 3 lists with set sizes 4, 0 and 0: ({1, 2, 3, 4}, {}, {}), ..., ({}, {}, {1, 2, 3, 4}).
There are 4*6 lists with set sizes 3, 1 and 0: ({1, 2, 3}, {4}, {}), ..., ({}, {1}, {2, 3, 4}).
There are 6 lists with set sizes 2, 2 and 0 where 1 and 2 are in the same set: ({1, 2}, {3, 4}, {}), ..., ({}, {3, 4}, {1, 2}).
There are 6 lists with set sizes 2, 2 and 0 where 1 and 4 are in the same set: ({1, 4}, {2, 3}, {}), ..., ({}, {2, 3}, {1, 4}).
There are 6*6 lists with set sizes 2, 1 and 1: ({1, 2}, {3}, {4}), ..., ({2}, {1}, {3, 4}).
When adding the 6 list of crossing sets, lists with set sizes 2, 2 and 0 where 1 and 3 are in the same set, ({1, 3}, {2, 4}, {}), ..., ({}, {2, 4}, {1, 3}), then we have 81 partitions of {1, 2, 3, 4} into lists of sets. This is found in A089072(4, 3) = 81.
