%N T(n,k) = largest coefficient in the expansion of (1 + ... + x^(n-1))^(2*k).

%C T(n,k) = number of ways the sums of all components of two 1..n k-vectors can be equal.

%C T(n,k) is an odd polynomial in n of order 2*k-1.

%C Examples:

%C T(n,1) = n.

%C T(n,2) = (2/3)*n^3 + (1/3)*n.

%C T(n,3) = (11/20)*n^5 + (1/4)*n^3 + (1/5)*n.

%C T(n,4) = (151/315)*n^7 + (2/9)*n^5 + (7/45)*n^3 + (1/7)*n.

%F T(n,k) = A273975(2*k, n, (n-1)*k). - _Andrey Zabolotskiy_, Jan 23 2024

%e For n = 3 and k = 2, (1 + x + x^2)^(2*2) = x^8 + 4*x^7 + 10*x^6 + 16*x^5 + 19*x^4 + 16*x^3 + 10*x^2 + 4*x + 1, whose largest coefficient is T(3,2) = 19.
