In the Formula section, some contributors use T(n,k) = D(n-k, k) (for 0 <= k <= n), which is the triangular version of the square array (D(n,k): n,k >= 0). Conversely, D(n,k) = T(n+k,k) for n,k >= 0. - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020
Also called the tribonacci triangle [Alladi and Hoggatt (1977)]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 23 2014
D(n,k) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) using steps (1,0), (0,1), (1,1). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011 [Corrected by N. J. A. Sloane, May 30 2020]
Or, triangle read by rows of coefficients of polynomials P[n](x) defined by P[0] = 1, P[1] = x+1; for n >= 2, P[n] = (x+1)*P[n-1] + x*P[n-2].
D(n, k) is the number of k-matchings of a comb-like graph with n+k teeth. Example: D(1, 3) = 7 because the graph consisting of a horizontal path ABCD and the teeth Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd has seven 3-matchings: four triples of three teeth and the three triples {Aa, Bb, CD}, {Aa, Dd, BC}, {Cc, Dd, AB}. Also D(3, 1)=7, the 1-matchings of the same graph being the seven edges: {AB}, {BC}, {CD}, {Aa}, {Bb}, {Cc}, {Dd}. - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 01 2002
Sum of n-th antidiagonal of the array D is A000129(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 03 2004 [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020 so that the counting of antidiagonals of D starts at n = 0. That is, the sum of the terms in the n-th row of the triangles T is A000129(n+1).]
The A-sequence for this Riordan type triangle (see one of Paul Barry's comments under Formula) is A112478 and the Z-sequence the trivial: {1, 0, 0, 0, ...}. See the W. Lang link under A006232 for Sheffer a- and z-sequences where also Riordan A- and Z-sequences are explained. This leads to the recurrence for the triangle given below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 21 2008
The triangle or chess sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link the Delannoy numbers with twelve different sequences, see the crossrefs. All sums come in pairs due to the symmetrical nature of this triangle. The knight sums Kn14 and Kn15 have been added. It is remarkable that all knight sums are related to the tribonacci numbers, that is, A000073 and A001590, but none of the others. - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010
This sequence, A008288, is jointly generated with A035607 as an array of coefficients of polynomials u(n,x): initially, u(1,x) = v(1,x) = 1; for n > 1, u(n,x) = x*u(n-1,x) + v(n-1) and v(n,x) = 2*x*u(n-1,x) + v(n-1,x). See the Mathematica section. - Clark Kimberling, Mar 09 2012
Row n, for n > 0, of Roger L. Bagula's triangle in the Example section shows the coefficients of the polynomial u(n) = c(0) + c(1)*x + ... + c(n)*x^n which is the numerator of the n-th convergent of the continued fraction [k, k, k, ...], where k = sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x); see A230000. - Clark Kimberling, Nov 13 2013
In an n-dimensional hypercube lattice, D(n,k) gives the number of nodes situated at a Minkowski (Manhattan) distance of k from a given node. In cellular automata theory, the cells at Manhattan distance k are called the von Neumann neighborhood of radius k. For k=1, see A005843. - Dmitry Zaitsev, Dec 10 2015
These numbers appear as the coefficients of series relating spherical and bispherical harmonics, in the solutions of Laplace's equation in 3D. [Majic 2019, Eq. 22] - Matt Majic, Nov 24 2019

The following remarks assume an offset of 1 in the row and column indices of the triangle.
The sequence of row polynomials T(n,x), beginning with T(1,x) = x, T(2,x) = x + x^2, T(3,x) = x + 3*x^2 + x^3, ..., is a strong divisibility sequence of polynomials in the ring Z[x]; that is, for all positive integers n and m, poly_gcd(T(n,x), T(m,x)) = T(gcd(n, m), x) - apply Norfleet (2005), Theorem 3. Consequently, the sequence (T(n,x): n >= 1) is a divisibility sequence in the polynomial ring Z[x]; that is, if n divides m then T(n,x) divides T(m,x) in Z[x].
Let S(x) = 1 + 2*x + 6*x^2 + 22*x^3 + ... denote the o.g.f. for the large Schröder numbers A006318. The power series (x*S(x))^n, n = 2, 3, 4, ..., can be expressed as a linear combination with polynomial coefficients of S(x) and 1: (x*S(x))^n = T(n-1,-x) - T(n,-x)*S(x). The result can be extended to negative integer n if we define T(0,x) = 0 and T(-n,x) = (-1)^(n+1) * T(n,x)/x^n. Cf. A115139.
[In the previous two paragraphs, D(n,x) was replaced with T(n,x) because the contributor is referring to the rows of the triangle T(n,k), not the rows of the array D(n,k). - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020] (End)
Named after the French amateur mathematician Henri-Auguste Delannoy (1833-1915). - Amiram Eldar, Apr 15 2021
D(i,j) = D(j,i). With this and Dmitry Zaitsev's Dec 10 2015 comment, D(i,j) can be considered the number of points at L1 distance <= i in Z^j or the number of points at L1 distance <= j in Z^i from any given point. The rows and columns of D(i,j) are the crystal ball sequences on cubic lattices. See the first example below. The n-th term in the k-th crystal ball sequence can be considered the number of points at distance <= n from any point in a k-dimensional cubic lattice, or the number of points at distance <= k from any point in an n-dimensional cubic lattice. - Shel Kaphan, Jan 01 2023 and Jan 07 2023
Dimensions of hom spaces Hom(R^{(i)}, R^{(j)}) in the Delannoy category attached to the oligomorphic group of order preserving self-bijections of the real line. - Noah Snyder, Mar 22 2023

  ...
For D(2,5) = 61, which is seen above in the row labeled A001844, we calculate the sum (9 + 11 + 41) of the 3 nearest terms above and/or to the left. - _Peter Munn_, Jan 01 2023
D(2,5) = 61 can also be obtained from the row labeled A005408 using a recurrence mentioned in the formula section:  D(2,5) = D(1,5) + 2*Sum_{k=0..4} D(1,k), so D(2,5) = 11 + 2*(1+3+5+7+9) = 11 + 2*25. - _Shel Kaphan_, Jan 01 2023

From Peter Bala, Jul 17 2008: (Start)
The n-th row of the square array is the crystal ball sequence for the product lattice A_1 x ... x A_1 (n copies). A035607 is the table of the associated coordination sequences for these lattices.
The polynomial p_n(x) := Sum {k = 0..n} 2^k * C(n,k) * C(x,k) = Sum_{k = 0..n} C(n,k) * C(x+k,n), whose values [p_n(0), p_n(1), p_n(2), ... ] give the n-th row of the square array, is the Ehrhart polynomial of the n-dimensional cross polytope (the hyperoctahedron) [Bump et al. (2000), Theorem 6].
The first few values are p_0(x) = 1, p_1(x) = 2*x + 1, p_2(x) = 2*x^2 + 2*x + 1 and p_3(x) = (4*x^3 + 6*x^2 + 8*x + 3)/3.
The reciprocity law p_n(m) = p_m(n) reflects the symmetry of the table.
The polynomial p_n(x) is the unique polynomial solution of the difference equation (x+1)*f(x+1) - x*f(x-1) = (2*n+1)*f(x), normalized so that f(0) = 1.
These polynomials have their zeros on the vertical line Re x = -1/2 in the complex plane; that is, the polynomials p_n(x-1), n = 1,2,3,..., satisfy a Riemann hypothesis [Bump et al. (2000), Theorem 4]. The o.g.f. for the p_n(x) is (1 + t)^x/(1 - t)^(x + 1) = 1 + (2*x + 1)*t + (2*x^2 + 2*x + 1)*t^2 + ... .
The square array of Delannoy numbers has a close connection with the constant log(2). The entries in the n-th row of the array occur in the series acceleration formula log(2) = (1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - ... + (-1)^(n+1)/n) + (-1)^n * Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)/(k*D(n,k-1)*D(n,k)). [T(n,k) was replaced with D(n,k) in the formula to agree with the beginning of the paragraph. - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020]
For example, the fourth row of the table (n = 3) gives the series log(2) = 1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/(1*1*7) + 1/(2*7*25) - 1/(3*25*63) + 1/(4*63*129) - ... . See A142979 for further details.
Also the main diagonal entries (the central Delannoy numbers) give the series acceleration formula Sum_{n>=1} 1/(n*D(n-1,n-1)*D(n,n)) = (1/2)*log(2), a result due to Burnside. [T(n,n) was replaced here with D(n,n) to agree with the previous paragraphs. - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020]
Similar relations hold between log(2) and the crystal ball sequences of the C_n lattices A142992. For corresponding results for the constants zeta(2) and zeta(3), involving the crystal ball sequences for root lattices of type A_n and A_n x A_n, see A108625 and A143007 respectively. (End)

D(n+a,n) = P_n(a,0;3) for all integer a such that a >= -n, where P_n(a,0;x) is the Jacobi polynomial with parameters (a,0) [Hetyei]. The related formula A(n,k) = P_k(0,n-k;3) defines the table of asymmetric Delannoy numbers, essentially A049600. (End)
Seen as a triangle read by rows: T(n, k) = Hyper2F1([k-n, -k], [1], 2). - Peter Luschny, Aug 02 2014, Oct 13 2024.

O.g.f. for triangle T(n,k): A(z,t) = 1/(1 - (1 + t)*z - t*z^2) = 1 + (1 + t)*z + (1 + 3*t + t^2)*z^2 + (1 + 5*t + 5*t^2 + t^3)*z^3 + ....
1 + z*d/dz(A(z,t))/A(z,t) is the o.g.f. for A102413. (End)
E.g.f. for the n-th subdiagonal of T(n,k), n >= 0, equals exp(x)*P(n,x), where P(n,x) is the polynomial Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*(2*x)^k/k!. For example, the e.g.f. for the second subdiagonal is exp(x)*(1 + 4*x + 4*x^2/2) = 1 + 5*x + 13*x^2/2! + 25*x^3/3! + 41*x^4/4! + 61*x^5/5! + .... - Peter Bala, Mar 05 2017 [The n-th subdiagonal of triangle T(n,k) is the n-th row of array D(n,k).]
Let a_i(n) be multiplicative with a_i(p^e) = D(i, e), p prime and e >= 0, then Sum_{n > 0} a_i(n)/n^s = (zeta(s))^(2*i+1)/(zeta(2*s))^i for i >= 0. - Werner Schulte, Feb 14 2018
Seen as a triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..k} binomial(n-i, i) * binomial(n-2*i, k-i) for 0 <= k <= n. - Werner Schulte, Jan 09 2019
Univariate generating function: Sum_{k >= 0} D(n,k)*z^k = (1 + z)^n/(1 - z)^(n+1). [Dziemianczuk (2013), Eq. 5.3] - Matt Majic, Nov 24 2019
(n+1)*D(n+1,k) = (2*k+1)*D(n,k) + n*D(n-1,k). [Majic (2019), Eq. 22] - Matt Majic, Nov 24 2019
For i, j >= 1, D(i,j) = D(i,j-1) + 2*Sum_{k=0..i-1} D(k,j-1), or, because D(i,j) = D(j,i), D(i,j) = D(i-1,j) + 2*Sum_{k=0..j-1} D(i-1,k). - Shel Kaphan, Jan 01 2023
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)^2 = A026933(n). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 07 2023
Let S(x) = (1 - x - (1 - 6*x + x^2)^(1/2))/(2*x) denote the g.f. of the sequence of large Schröder numbers A006318. Read as a lower triangular array, the signed n-th row polynomial R(n, -x) = 1/sqrt(1 - 6*x + x^2) *( 1/S(x)^(n+1) + (x*S(x))^(n+1) ). For example, R(4, -x) = 1 - 7*x + 13*x^2 - 7*x^3 + x^4 = 1/sqrt(1 - 6*x + x^2) * ( 1/S(x)^5 + (x*S(x))^5 ). Cf. A102413. - Peter Bala, Aug 01 2024
