%N A038218 Triangle whose (i,j)-th entry is binomial(i,j)*2^(i-j)*12^j (with i, j >= 0).
%C A038218 Using the transfer matrix method, Cyvin et al. (1996) derive the equation a(x,y)_{i,j} = binomial(i-1, j-1) * x^{i-j} * y^{j-1}. See Eq. (4) on p. 111 of the paper. If we replace i-1 with i, j-1 with j, x with 2, and y with 12, we get the current triangular array. - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 23 2019
