Triangle T_3(n, m), the number of surjective multi-valued functions from {1, 1, 1, 2, 3, ..., n-2} to {1, 2, 3, ..., m} by rows (n >= 1, 1 <= m <= n).

COMMENTS
T_3(1, m) = T_3(2, m) = 0 by definition. T_3(n, m) also gives the number of ordered partitions of {1, 1, 1, 2, 3, ..., n-2} into exactly m parts.
FORMULA
T_3(n, m) = Sum_{j=0..m} binomial(m, j)*binomial(j+2, 3)*(-1)^(m-j)*j^(n-3), for n >= 3, with T(1, 1) = T(2, 1) = T(2, 2) = 0.
Sum_{k=1..n} T_3(n, k) = A172110(n).
Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^k*T_3(n, k) = 0. - G. C. Greubel, Apr 14 2022
