We consider optimal proper vertex colorings of a graph G. Assume that the labeling, i.e., coloring starts with 1. By optimality we mean that the maximum label used is the minimum of the maximum integer label used across all possible labelings of G. Let S=Sum of the differences |l(v) - l(u)|, the sum being over all edges uv of G and l(w) is the label associated with a vertex w of G. We say G admits unique labeling if all possible labelings of G is S-invariant and yields the same integer partition of S. With an offset this sequence gives the S-values for the complete graph on n vertices, n = 2, 3, ... . - K.V.Iyer, Jul 08 2011

Aside from the zero, this sequence is the fourth diagonal of the Pascal matrix A007318 and the only nonvanishing diagonal (fourth) of the matrix representation IM = (A132440)^3/3! of the differential operator D^3/3!, when acting on the row vector of coefficients of an o.g.f., or power series.
M = e^{IM} is the lower triangular matrix of coefficients of the Appell polynomial sequence p_n(x) = e^{D^3/3!} x^n = e^{b. D} x^n = (b. + x)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) b_n x^{n-k}, where the (b.)^n = b_n have the e.g.f. e^{b.t} = e^{t^3/3!}, which is that for A025035 aerated with double zeros, the first column of M.

The third Euler row (1,4,1) has an additional connection with the tetrahedral numbers besides the n^3 identity stated above: a^2(n) + 4*a^2(n+1) + a^2(n+2) = a(n^2+4n+4), which can be shown with algebra. E.g., a^2(2) + 4*a^2(3) + a^2(4) = 16 + 400 + 400 = a(16). Although an analogous thing happens with the (1,1) row of Euler's triangle and triangular numbers C(n+1,2) = A000217(n) = T(n), namely both T(n-1) + T(n) = n^2 and T^2(n-1) + T^2(n) = T(n^2) are true, only one (the usual identity) still holds for the Euler row (1,11,11,1) and the C(n,4) numbers in A000332. That is, the dot product of (1,11,11,1) with the squares of 4 consecutive terms of A000332 is not generally a term of A000332. - Richard Peterson, Aug 21 2022

a(n) = floor( (n+2)*(n+4)*(2n+3) / 24 ). E.g., a(2) = floor(4*6*7/24) = 7 because there are 7 upside down triangles (6 of size one and 1 of size two) in the matchstick figure:

Number of non-congruent non-parallelogram trapezoids with positive integer sides (trapezints) and perimeter 2n+5. Also with perimeter 2n+8. - Michael Somos, May 12 2005
a(n) = A108561(n+4,n) for n > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 10 2005
Also number of nonisomorphic planes with n points and 2 lines. E.g., a(0)=1 because with no points, we just have two empty lines. a(1)=3 because the one point may belong to 0, 1 or 2 lines. a(2)=7 because there are 7 ways to determine which of 2 points belong to which of 2 lines, up to isomorphism, i.e., up to a bijection f on the sets of points and a bijection g on the sets of lines, such that A belongs to a iff f(A) belongs to g(a). - Bjorn Kjos-Hanssen (bjorn(AT)math.uconn.edu), Nov 10 2005
a(n-2) is the number of ways to pick two non-overlapping subwords of equal nonzero length from a word of length n. E.g., a(5-2)=a(3)=13 since the word 12345 of length 5 has the following subword pairs: 1,2; 1,3; 1,4; 1,5; 2,3; 2,4; 2,5; 3,4; 3,5; 4,5; 12,34; 12,45; 23,45. - Michael Somos, Oct 22 2006

Also, Wiener index of the square of the path graph P_(n+2). - Allan Bickle, Aug 01 2020
Maximum Wiener index of all maximal 2-degenerate graphs with n+2 vertices.  (A maximal 2-degenerate graph can be constructed from a 2-clique by iteratively adding a new 2-leaf (vertex of degree 2) adjacent to two existing vertices.)  The extremal graphs are squares of paths, so the bound also applies to 2-trees and maximal outerplanar graphs. - Allan Bickle, Sep 15 2022

Conjecture: Let N=2*n+1, with n > 2. Then T(n,k) (0 <= k <= n) gives the k-th coefficient in the characteristic function p_N(x)=0, of degree n in x, for the n X n tridiagonal unit-primitive matrix G_N (see [Jeffery]) of the form
  G_N=A_{N,1}=
  (0 1 0 ... 0)
  (1 0 1 0 ... 0)
  (0 1 0 1 0 ... 0)
  ...
  (0 ... 0 1 0 1)
  (0 ... 0 1 1),
with solutions phi_j = 2*cos((2*j-1)*Pi/N), j=1,2,...,n. For example, for n=3,
  G_7=A_{7,1}=
  (0 1 0)
  (1 0 1)
  (0 1 1).
We have {T(3,k)}=(1,-1,-2,1), while the characteristic function of G_7 is p(x) = x^3-x^2-2*x+1 = 0, with solutions phi_j = 2*cos((2*j-1)*Pi/7), j=1,2,3. (End)

The roots to the polynomials are chaotic using iterates of the operation (x^2 - 2), with cycle lengths L and initial seeds returning to the same term or (-1)* the seed. Periodic cycle lengths L are shown in A003558 such that for the polynomial represented by row r, the cycle length L is A003558(r-1). The matrices corresponding to the rows as characteristic polynomials are likewise chaotic [cf. Kappraff et al., 2005] with the same cycle lengths but substituting 2*I for the "2" in (x^2 - 2), where I = the Identity matrix. For example, the roots to x^3 - x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0 are 1.801937..., -1.246979..., and 0.445041... With 1.801937... as the initial seed and using (x^2 - 2), we obtain the 3-period trajectory of 8.801937... -> 1.246979... -> -0.445041... (returning to -1.801937...). We note that A003558(2) = 3. The corresponding matrix M is: [0,1,0; 1,0,1; 0,1,1,]. Using seed M with (x^2 - 2*I), we obtain the 3-period with the cycle completed at (-1)*M. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 07 2012

This is the row reversed version of A180870. See also A157751 and A228565.
The Dirichlet kernel is D(n,x) = Sum_{k=-n..n} exp(i*k*x) = 1 + 2*Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,x) = S(n, 2*y) + S(n-1, 2*y) = S(2*n, sqrt(2*(1+y))) with y = cos(x), n >= 0, with the Chebyshev polynomials T (A053120) and S (A049310). This triangle T(n, k) gives in row n the coefficients of the polynomial Dir(n,y) = D(n,x=arccos(y)) = Sum_{m=0..n} T(n,m)*y^m. See A180870, especially the Peter Bala comments and formulas.
This is the Riordan triangle ((1+z)/(1+z^2), 2*z/(1+z^2)) due to the o.g.f. for Dir(n,y) given by (1+z)/(1 - 2*y*z + z^2) = G(z)/(1 - y*F(z)) with G(z) = (1+z)/(1+z^2) and F(z) = 2*z/(1+z^2) (see the Peter Bala formula under A180870). For Riordan triangles and references see the W. Lang link 'Sheffer a- and z- sequences' under A006232.
The A- and Z- sequences of this Riordan triangle are (see the mentioned W. Lang link in the preceding comment also for the references): The A-sequence has o.g.f. 1+sqrt(1-x^2) and is given by A(2*k+1) = 0 and A(2*k) [2, -1/2, -1/8, -1/16, -5/128, -7/256, -21/1024, -33/2048, -429/32768, -715/65536, ...], k >= 0. (See A098597 and A046161.)
  The Z-sequence has o.g.f. sqrt((1-x)/(1+x)) and is given by
  [1, -1, 1/2, -1/2, 3/8, -3/8, 5/16, -5/16, 35/128, -35/128, ...]. (See A001790 and A046161.)
The column sequences are A057077, 2*(A004526 with even numbers signed), 4*A008805 (signed), 8*A058187 (signed), 16*A189976 (signed), 32*A189980 (signed) for m = 0, 1, ..., 5.
The row sums give A005408 (from the o.g.f. due to the Riordan property), and the alternating row sums give A033999.
The row polynomials Dir(n, x), n >= 0, give solutions to the diophantine equation (a + 1)*X^2 - (a - 1)*Y^2 = 2 by virtue of the identity (a + 1)*Dir(n, -a)^2 - (a - 1)*Dir(n, a)^2 = 2, which is easily proved inductively using the recurrence Dir(n, a) = (1 + a)*(-1)^(n-1)*Dir(n-1, -a) + a*Dir(n-1, a) given below by Wolfdieter Lang. - Peter Bala, May 08 2025

Example for A-sequence recurrence: T(3,1) = Sum_{j=0..2} A(j)*T(2,j) = 2*(-1) + 0*2 + (-1/2)*4 = -4. Example for Z-sequence recurrence: T(4,0) = Sum_{j=0..3} Z(j)*T(3,j) = 1*(-1) + (-1)*(-4) + (1/2)*4 + (-1/2)*8 = +1. (For the A- and Z-sequences see a comment above.)
Example for the alternate recurrence: T(4,2) = 2*T(3,1) - T(3,2) = 2*(-4) - 4 = -12. T(4,3) = 0*T(3,2) + T(3,3) = T(3,3) = 8. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jul 30 2014

T(n, m) = [y^m] Dir(n,y) for n >= m >= 0 and 0 otherwise, with the polynomials Dir(y) defined in a comment above.
T(n, m) = 2^m*(S(n,m) + S(n-1,m)) with the entries S(n,m) of A049310 given there explicitly.
O.g.f. for polynomials Dir(y) see a comment above (Riordan triangle ((1+z)/(1+z^2), 2*z/(1+z^2))).
O.g.f. for column m: ((1 + x)/(1 + x^2))*(2*x/(1 + x^2))^m, m >= 0, (Riordan property).
Recurrence for the polynomials: Dir(n, y) = 2*y*Dir(n-1, y) - Dir(n-2, y), n >= 1, with input D(-1, y) = -1 and D(0, y) = 1.
Triangle three-term recurrence: T(n,m) = 2*T(n-1,m-1) - T(n-2,m) for n >= m >= 1 with T(n,m) = 0 if 0 <= n < m, T(0,0) = 1, T(-1,1) = 0 and T(n,0) = A057077(n) = (-1)^(floor(n/2)).
From Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 30 2014: (Start)
In analogy to A157751 one can derive a recurrence for the row polynomials Dir(n, y) = Sum_{m=0..n} T(n,m)*y^m also using a negative argument but only one recursive step: Dir(n,y) = (1+y)*(-1)^(n-1)*Dir(n-1,-y) + y*Dir(n-1,y), n >= 1, Dir(0,y) = 1 (Dir(-1,y) = -1). See also A180870 from where this formula can be derived by row reversion.
This entails another triangle recurrence T(n,m) = (1 + (-1)^(n-m))*T(n-1,m-1) - (-1)^(n-m)*T(n-1,m), for n >= m >= 1 with T(n,m) = 0 if n < m and T(n,0) = (-1)^floor(n/2). (End)
From Peter Bala, Aug 14 2022: (Start)
The row polynomials Dir(n,x), n >= 0, are related to the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind T(n,x) by the binomial transform as follows:
(2^n)*(x - 1)^(n+1)*Dir(n,x) = (-1) * Sum_{k = 0..2*n+1} binomial(2*n+1,k)*T(k,-x).
Note that Sum_{k = 0..2*n} binomial(2*n,k)*T(k,x) = (2^n)*(1 + x)^n*T(n,x). (End)
From Peter Bala, May 04 2025: (Start)
For n >= 1, the n-th row polynomial Dir(n, x) = (-1)^n * (U(n, -x) - U(n-1, -x)) = U(2*n, sqrt((1+x)/2)), where U(n, x) denotes the n-th Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.
For n >= 1 and x < 1, Dir(n, x) = (-1)^n * sqrt(2/(1 - x )) * T(2*n+1, sqrt((1 - x)/2)), where T(n, x) denotes the n-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.
Dir(n, x)^2 - 2*x*Dir(n, x)*Dir(n+1, x) + Dir(n+1, x)^2 = 2*(1 + x).
Dir(n, x) = (-1)^n * R(n, -2*(x+1)), where R(n, x) is the n-th row polynomial of the triangle A085478.
Dir(n, x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^(n+k) * binomial(n+k, 2*k) * (2*x + 2)^k. (End)
