In a class of n students, the number of committees (of any size) that contain an ordered k-sized subcommittee is a(n,k). - Ross La Haye, Apr 17 2006
Antidiagonal sums [1,2,5,12,30,76,198,528,1448,4080,...] appear to be binomial transform of A000522 interleaved with itself, i.e., 1,1,2,2,5,5,16,16,65,65,... - Ross La Haye, Sep 09 2006
Let P(A) be the power set of an n-element set A. Then a(n,k) = the number of ways to add k elements of A to each element x of P(A) where the k elements are not elements of x and order of addition is important. - Ross La Haye, Nov 19 2007

FORMULA
a(n, k) = 0 for n < k. a(n, k) = k!*C(n, k)*2^(n-k) = P(n, k)*2^(n-k) = (2n)!!/((n-k)!*2^k) = k!*A038207(n, k) = A068424*2^(n-k) = Sum[C(n, m)*P(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = Sum[C(n, n-m)*P(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = n!*Sum[1/(m!*(n-m-k)!), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*Sum[C(n, m)*C(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*Sum[C(n, n-m)*C(n-m, k), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*C(n, k)*Sum[C(n-k, n-m-k), {m, 0, n-k}] = k!*C(n, k)*Sum[C(n-k, m), {m, 0, n-k}] for n >= k.
a(n, k) = 0 for n < k. a(n, k) = n*a(n-1, k-1) for n >= k >= 1.
E.g.f. (by columns): exp(2x)*x^k.
EXAMPLE
{1};
{2, 1};
{4, 4, 2};
{8, 12, 12, 6};
{16, 32, 48, 48, 24};
{32, 80, 160, 240, 240, 120};
{64, 192, 480, 960, 1440, 1440, 720};
{128, 448, 1344, 3360, 6720, 10080, 10080, 5040};
{256, 1024, 3584, 10752, 26880, 53760, 80640, 80640, 40320}
a(5,3) = 240 because P(5,3) = 60, 2^(5-3) = 4 and 60 * 4 = 240.
