cp's OEIS Frontend

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.

A059576 Summatory Pascal triangle T(n,k) (0 <= k <= n) read by rows. Top entry is 1. Each entry is the sum of the parallelogram above it.

We may also relabel the entries as U(0,0), U(1,0), U(0,1), U(2,0), U(1,1), U(0,2), U(3,0), ... [That is, T(n,k) = U(n-k, k) for 0 <= k <= n and U(m,s) = T(m+s, s) for m,s >= 0.]
From Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 16 2020: (Start)
We explain the parallelogram definition of T(n,k).
T(0,0) *
|\
| \
| * T(k,k)
T(n-k,0) * |
\ |
\|
* T(n,k)
The definition implies that T(n,k) is the sum of all T(i,j) such that (i,j) has integer coordinates over the set
{(i,j): a(1,0) + b(1,1), 0 <= a <= n-k, 0 <= b <= k} - {(n,k)}.
The parallelogram can sometimes be degenerate; e.g., when k = 0 or n = k. (End)
T(n,k) is the number of 2-compositions of n having sum of the entries of the first row equal to k (0 <= k <= n). A 2-composition of n is a nonnegative matrix with two rows, such that each column has at least one nonzero entry and whose entries sum up to n. - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 12 2010
From Michel Marcus and Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 16 2020: (Start)
Robeva and Sun (2020) let A(m,n) = U(m-1, n-1) be the number of subdivisions of a 2-row grid with m points on the top and n points at the bottom (and such that the lower left point is the origin).
The authors proved that A(m,n) = 2*(A(m,n-1) + A(m-1,n) - A(m-1,n-1)) for m, n >= 2 (with (m,n) <> (2,2)), which is equivalent to a similar recurrence for U(n,k) given in the Formula section below. (They did not explicitly specify the value of A(1,1) = U(0,0) because they did not care about the number of subdivisions of a degenerate polygon with only one side.)
They also proved that, for (m,n) <> (1,1), A(m,n) = (2^(m-2)/(n-1)!) * Q_n(m) =
= (2^(m-2)/(n-1)!) * Sum_{k=1..n} A336244(n,k) * m^(n-k), where Q_n(m) is a polynomial in m of degree n-1. (End)
With the square array notation of Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 16 2020 below, U(i,j) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (i,j) whose steps move north or east or have positive slope. For example, representing a path by its successive lattice points rather than its steps, U(1,2) = 8 counts {(0,0),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,1),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,2),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(1,0),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(1,1),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(1,0),(1,1),(1,2)}. If north (vertical) steps are excluded, the resulting paths are counted by A049600. - David Callan, Nov 25 2021

T(5,2) = 76 is the sum of the elements above it in the parallelogram bordered by T(0,0), T(5-2,0) = T(3,0), T(2,2) and T(5,2). We of course exclude T(5,2) from the summation. Thus
T(5,2) = Sum_{a=0..5-2, b=0..2, (a,b) <> (5-2,2)} T(a(1,0) + b(1,1)) =
= (1 + 1 + 2) + (1 + 3 + 8) + (2 + 8 + 26) + (4 + 20) = 76. [Edited by _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 16 2020]

Consider the following 2-row grid with n = 3 points at the top and k = 2 points at the bottom:
   A  B  C
   *--*--*
   |    /
   |   /
   *--*
   D  E
The sets of the dividing internal lines of the A(3,2) = U(3-1, 2-1) = 8 subdivisions of the above 2-row grid are as follows: { }, {DC}, {DB}, {EB}, {EA}, {DB, DC}, {DB, EB}, and {EA, EB}. See Robeva and Sun (2020).
These are the 2-compositions of n = 3 with sum of first row entries equal to k = 1:
[1; 2], [0,1; 2,0], [0,1; 1,1], [1,0; 0,2], [1,0; 1,1], [0,0,1; 1,1,0], [0,1,0; 1,0,1], and [1,0,0; 0,1,1]. We have T(3,2) = 8 such matrices. See _Emeric Deutsch_'s contribution above. See also Section 2 in Castiglione et al. (2007). (End)

U(n,k) is the number of ways of writing the vector (n,k) as an ordered sum of vectors, equivalently, the number of paths from (0,0) to (n,k) in which steps may be taken from (i,j) to (p,q) provided (p,q) is to the right or above (i,j).
