%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,g) = number of general immersions of a circle with n crossings in a surface of arbitrary genus g (the circle is oriented, the surface is unoriented).

%C When transposed, displayed as an upper right triangle, the first line g = 0 of the table gives the number of immersions of a circle with n double points in a sphere (spherical curves) starting with n=1, the second line g = 1 gives immersions in a torus, etc.

%C Row g=0 is A008988 starting with n = 1.

%C For g > 0 the immersions are understood up to stable geotopy equivalence (the counted curves cannot be immersed in a surface of smaller genus). - _Robert Coquereaux_, Nov 23 2015
