A347034 Triangle read by columns: T(n,k) is the number of functions from an n-element set to a k-element set that are not one-to-one, k>=n>=1.
Examples
For T(2,3): the number of functions is 3^2 and the number of one-to-one functions is 6, so 3^2 - 6 = 3 and thus T(2,3) = 3. Triangle T(n,k) begins: k=1 k=2 k=3 k=4 k=5 k=6 n=1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 n=2: 2 3 4 5 6 n=3: 21 40 65 96 n=4: 232 505 936 n=5: 3005 7056 n=6: 45936
