I think you want k_n to be related to n? If so, it needs to be
written as k[n]. Does k_n+1 mean k[n+1] or k[n]+1?
Is the result you want a set of simultaneous equations with the above
relationship for n in 1..k? Or a recursion -- in which case you need
to define the base case a[0,...]. What is the value of a[n,k[i],k[j]]
where i <> j+1?
I'm just not quite clear what you want to do here.
