This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Also has an interpretation as number of binary vectors of length n-1 in which the length of the longest run of 1's is <= k (see A048004). - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 03 2011
Higher Order Fibonacci numbers: A126198(n,k) = Sum_{h=0..k} A048004(n,h); for example, A126198(7,3) = Sum_{h=0..3} A048004(7,h) or A126198(7,3) = 1 + 33 + 47 + 27 = 108, the 7th tetranacci number. A048004 row(7) produces A126198 row(7) list of 1,34,81,108,120,125,127,128 which are 1, the 7th Fibonacci, the 7th tribonacci, ... 7th octanacci numbers. - Richard Southern, Aug 04 2017

Examples

			Triangle begins:
  1;
  1,  2;

  1,  5,  7,  8;
  1,  8, 13, 15, 16;
  1, 13, 24, 29, 31, 32;
  1, 21, 44, 56, 61, 63, 64;
Could also be extended to a square array:
  1  1  1  1  1  1  1 ...
  1  2  2  2  2  2  2 ...
  1  3  4  4  4  4  4 ...
  1  5  7  8  8  8  8 ...
  1  8 13 15 16 16 16 ...
  1 13 24 29 31 32 32 ...
  1 21 44 56 61 63 64 ...
which when read by antidiagonals (downwards) gives A048887.
