%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of k-covers of a labeled n-set, k=1..2^n-1.

%C Row sums give A003465.

%C From _Manfred Boergens_, Apr 11 2024: (Start)

%C If more than half of the nonempty subsets of [n] are drawn their union covers [n] (see Formula). - The proof is based on 2^(n-1)-1 being the number of nonempty subsets of [n] with one fixed element of [n] missing.

%C For covers which may include one empty set see A163353.

%C For disjoint covers see A008277. (End)

%F T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^j*C(n, j)*C(2^(n-j)-1, k), k=1..2^n-1.

%F From _Vladeta Jovovic_, May 30 2004: (Start)

%F T(n,k) = (1/k!)*Sum_{j=0..k} Stirling1(k+1, j+1)*(2^j-1)^n.

%F E.g.f.: Sum(exp(y*(2^n-1))*log(1+x)^n/n!, n=0..infinity)/(1+x). (End)

%F Also exp(-y)*Sum((1+x)^(2^n-1)*y^n/n!, n=0..infinity).

%F From _Manfred Boergens_, Apr 11 2024: (Start)

%F T(n,k) = C(2^n-1,k) for k>=2^(n-1).

%F T(n,k) < C(2^n-1,k) for k<2^(n-1).

%F (Note: C(2^n-1,k) is the number of all k-subsets of P([n])\{{}}.) (End)
