Satisfies a recurrence of S_r type for r=36: 0, 1, 36 and a(n-1)*a(n+1)=(a(n)-1)^2. First observed by Colin Dickson in alt.math.recreational, Mar 07 2004. - Rainer Rosenthal, Mar 14 2004
For every n, a(n) is the first of three triangular numbers in geometric progression. The third number in the progression is a(n+1). The middle triangular number is sqrt(a(n)*a(n+1)). Chen and Fang prove that four distinct triangular numbers are never in geometric progression. - T. D. Noe, Apr 30 2007
The sum of any two terms is never equal to a Fermat number. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Feb 14 2012
Conjecture: No a(2^k), where k is a nonnegative integer, can be expressed as a sum of a positive square number and a positive triangular number. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Sep 19 2012
For n=2k+1, A010888(a(n))=1 and for n=2k, k > 0, A010888(a(n))=9. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Oct 12 2013
For n > 0, these are the triangular numbers which are the sum of two consecutive triangular numbers, for instance 36 = 15 + 21 and 1225 = 595 + 630. - Michel Marcus, Feb 18 2014
The sequence is the case P1 = 36, P2 = 68, Q = 1 of the 3-parameter family of 4th order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - Peter Bala, Apr 03 2014
For n=2k, k > 0, a(n) is divisible by 12 and is therefore abundant. I conjecture that for n=2k+1 a(n) is deficient [true for k up to 43 incl.]. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Sep 30 2014
The conjecture is true for all k > 0 because: For n=2k+1, k > 0, a(n) is odd. If a(n) is a prime number, it is deficient; otherwise a(n) has one or two distinct prime factors and is therefore deficient again. So for n=2k+1, k > 0, a(n) is deficient. - Muniru A Asiru, Apr 13 2016
Numbers k for which A139275(k) is a perfect square. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 16 2018

			a(2) = ((17 + 12*sqrt(2))^2 + (17 - 12*sqrt(2))^2 - 2)/32 = (289 + 24*sqrt(2) + 288 + 289 - 24*sqrt(2) + 288 - 2)/32 = (578 + 576 - 2)/32 = 1152/32 = 36 and 6^2 = 36 = 8*9/2 => a(2) is both the 6th square and the 8th triangular number.

This is a divisibility sequence, that is, a(n) divides a(m) whenever n divides m. The sequence satisfies a linear recurrence of order 4. Cf. A273623.

More generally, for distinct integers r and s with r == s (mod 2), the sequence Lucas(r*n) - Lucas(s*n) is a fourth-order divisibility sequence. When r is even (resp. odd) the normalized sequence (Lucas(r*n) - Lucas(s*n))/(Lucas(r) - Lucas(s)), with initial term equal to 1, has the o.g.f. x*(1 - x^2)/( (1 - Lucas(r)*x + x^2)*(1 - Lucas(s)*x + x^2) ) (resp. x*(1 + x^2)/( (1 - Lucas(r)*x - x^2)*(1 - Lucas(s)*x - x^2) )) and belongs to the 3-parameter family of fourth-order divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy, with parameter values P1 = (Lucas(r) + Lucas(s)), P2 = Lucas(r)*Lucas(s) and Q = 1 (resp. Q = -1). For particular cases see A004146 (r = 2, s = 0), A049684 (r = 4, s = 0), A215465 (r = 4, s = 2), A049683 (r = 6, s = 0), A049682 (r = 8, s = 0) and A037451 (r = 3, s = -1).

The old definition given for this sequence was "Sequence allows us to find X values of the equation: X(X + 1) - 5*Y^2 = 0".

With this old definition, if X = a(n), then Y = A207832(n). Now, with u = 2X+1, this Diophantine equation becomes the Pell-Fermat equation u^2 - 20*Y^2 = 1, and then, u = A023039(n) and Y = A207832(n). - Bernard Schott, Jan 25 2023

The recurrence relations for the border terms are the only way in which this differs from Pascal's triangle.
Column T(2n,n+1) appears to be divisible by 4 for n>=2; T(2n-1,n) divisible by 3 for n>=2; T(2n,n-2) divisible by 2 for n>=3.
The symmetry of T(n,k) can be observed in a hexagonal arrangement (see the links).
Consider T(n,k) mod 3 = q. Terms with q = 0 show reflection symmetry with respect to the central column T(2n-1,n), while q = 1 and q = 2 are mirror images of each other (see the link).
