For instance:

<< Calculus`Integration`
f[k_] := Sum[a[i, k - i]Boole[1 â?¤ k - i â?¤ n], {i, 1, m}]

f /@ Range[13] /. {m -> 10, n -> 3} // ColumnForm

0
a[1, 1]
a[1, 2] + a[2, 1]
a[1, 3] + a[2, 2] + a[3, 1]
a[2, 3] + a[3, 2] + a[4, 1]
a[3, 3] + a[4, 2] + a[5, 1]
a[4, 3] + a[5, 2] + a[6, 1]
a[5, 3] + a[6, 2] + a[7, 1]
a[6, 3] + a[7, 2] + a[8, 1]
a[7, 3] + a[8, 2] + a[9, 1]
a[8, 3] + a[9, 2] + a[10, 1]
a[9, 3] + a[10, 2]
a[10, 3]
