Enumeration conjecture for the generalized sets Anj{\cal A}_n^j

Let Anj{\cal A}_n^j be the subset of An{\cal A}_n consisting of elements whose first jj columns are entirely zero. In particular, An1=An{\cal A}_n^1={\cal A}_n and Anj00Anj1{\cal A}_n^j\subseteq{00\cal A}_n^{j-1} for j2j\ge 2.

Enumeration conjecture for Anj{\cal A}_n^j. The number of elements of Anj{\cal A}_n^j is

i=jn312i+1(n+i12i).\prod_{i=j}^{n-3}\frac{1}{2i+1}\binom{n+i-1}{2i}.

This extends the preceding enumeration conjecture to subsets obtained by requiring initial columns to vanish. The paper gives numerical values and states the formula as a conjecture, without a proof.
