%N A100861 Triangle of Bessel numbers read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of k-matchings
of the complete graph K(n).
%C A100861 Row n contains 1+floor(n/2) terms. Row sums yield A000085. T(2n,n)=T(2n-1,
n-1)=(2n-1)!! (A001147).
%C A100861 Inverse binomial transform is triangle with T(2n,n)=(2n-1)!!, 0 otherwise.

%F A100861 T(n, k)=n!/[k!(n-2k)!*2^k]. E.g.f.=exp(z+tz^2/2). G.f.=g(t, z) satisfies
the differential equation g=1+zg+tz^2*diff(zg, z). Row generating
polynomial=P[n]=[ -i*sqrt(t/2)]^n*H(n, i/sqrt(2t)), where H(n, x)
is a Hermite polynomial and i=sqrt(-1). Row generating polynomials
P[n] satisfy P[0]=1, P[n]=P[n-1]+(n-1)tP[n-2].

%e A100861 T(4,2)=3 because in the graph with vertex set {A,B,C,D} and edge set
{AB,BC,CD,AD,AC,BD} we have the following three 2-matchings: {AB,
CD},{AC,BD} and {AD,BC}.
