%N Triangle T(n,k) read by rows: number of rooted chains of length k in set partitions of n labeled points.

%C Also the number of chains of length k in unordered set partitions of {1,2,...,n} such that the first term of the chains is either {{1}, {2},...,{n}} or {{1,2,..,n}}.

%C Number of rooted k-level fuzzy equivalence matrices of order n.
