COMMENTS

Equivalently, T(n,k) is the number of orbits of k-element subsets of the vertices of a regular n-gon under the usual action of the dihedral group D_n, or under the action of Euclidean plane isometries. Note that each row of the table is symmetric and unimodal. [Austin Shapiro, Apr 20 2009]

Also, the number of k-chords in n-tone equal temperament, up to (musical) transposition and inversion. Example: there are 29 tetrachords, 38 pentachords, 50 hexachords in the familiar 12-tone equal temperament. Called "Forte set-classes," after Allen Forte who first catalogued them. - Jon Wild, May 21 2004

FORMULA

T(0,0) = 1. If n > 0, T(n,k) = C([n/2] - k mod 2 * (1 - n mod 2), [k/2]) / 2 + Sum_(d|n, d|k) {Phi(d)*C(n/d, k/d)} / (2n). - Washington Bomfim, Jun 30 2012
