COMMENTS
Boundary size of a partition (or set) is the number of parts (elements) having fewer than 2 neighbors.
T(n,k) is also the number of subsets of {0, 1, 2, ...} whose elements sum to n and that have k elements in its boundary.

EXAMPLE
T(9,1) = 1: [9].
T(9,2) = 6: [0,9], [1,8], [2,7], [3,6], [4,5], [2,3,4].
T(9,3) = 8: [1,2,6], [1,3,5], [0,1,8], [0,2,7], [0,3,6], [0,4,5], [0,2,3,4], [0,1,2,6].
T(9,4) = 1: [0,1,3,5].
