Comments

Another version of Pascal's triangle A007318.

As a triangle read by rows, it is (1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...) DELTA (0,1,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938 and it is the Riordan array (1/(1-x), x^2/(1-x)). The row sums of this triangle are F(n+1) = A000045(n+1). - Philippe Deléham, Dec 11 2011

As a triangle, binomial(n-k, k) is also the number of ways to add k pierced circles to a path graph P_n so that no two circles share a vertex (see Lemma 3.1 at page 5 in Owad and Tsvietkova). - Stefano Spezia, May 18 2022

For all n >= 0, k >= 0, the k-th homology group of the n-torus H_k(T^n) is the free abelian group of rank T(n,k) = binomial(n,k). See the Math Stack Exchange link below. - Jianing Song, Mar 13 2023
