%N Number A(n,k) of acyclic orientations of the complete tripartite graph K_{n,n,k}; square array A(n,k), n>=0, k>=0, read by antidiagonals.

%C An acyclic orientation is an assignment of a direction to each edge such that no cycle in the graph is consistently oriented. Stanley showed that the number of acyclic orientations of a graph G is equal to the absolute value of the chromatic polynomial X_G(q) evaluated at q=-1.
