Comments

In the language of the Shapiro et al. reference (also given in A053121) such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as matrix, belongs to the Riordan-group. The g.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x) (increasing powers of x) is 1/((1-2*z)*(1-x*z/(1-z))).

Binomial transform of the all 1's triangle: as a Riordan array, it factors to give (1/(1-x),x/(1-x))(1/(1-x),x). Viewed as a number square read by antidiagonals, it has T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(n+k,n-j) and is then the binomial transform of the Whitney square A004070. - Paul Barry, Feb 03 2005

Riordan array (1/(1-2x), x/(1-x)). Antidiagonal sums are A027934(n+1), n >= 0. - Paul Barry, Jan 30 2005; edited by Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 09 2015

Eigensequence of the triangle = A005493: (1, 3, 10, 37, 151, 674, ...); row sums of triangles A011971 and A159573. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 16 2009

Read as a square array, this is the generalized Riordan array ( 1/(1 - 2*x), 1/(1 - x) ) as defined in the Bala link (p. 5), which factorizes as ( 1/(1 - x), x/(1 - x) )*( 1/(1 - x), x )*( 1, 1 + x ) = P*U*transpose(P), where P denotes Pascal's triangle, A007318, and U is the lower unit triangular array with 1's on or below the main diagonal. - Peter Bala, Jan 13 2016

a(n, m) = Sum_{k=m..n} A007318(n, k) (partial row sums in columns m).

From Peter Bala, Dec 23 2014: (Start)

Exp(x) * e.g.f. for row n = e.g.f. for diagonal n. For example, for n = 3 we have exp(x)*(8 + 7*x + 4*x^2/2! + x^3/3!) = 8 + 15*x + 26*x^2/2! + 42*x^3/3! + 64*x^4/4! + .... The same property holds more generally for Riordan arrays of the form ( f(x), x/(1 - x) ).

Let M denote the present triangle. For k = 0,1,2,... define M(k) to be the lower unit triangular block array

/I_k 0\

\ 0 M/ having the k X k identity matrix I_k as the upper left block; in particular, M(0) = M. The infinite product M(0)*M(1)*M(2)*..., which is clearly well-defined, is equal to A143494 (but with a different offset). See the Example section. Cf. A106516. (End)
