Comments

The array F(4;n,m) gives in the columns m >= 1 the figurate numbers based on A016813, including the hexagonal numbers A000384 (see the W. Lang link).

This is the fourth member, d=4, in the family of triangles of figurate numbers, called (d,1) Pascal triangles: A007318 (Pascal), A029653 and A093560, for d=1..3.

This is an example of a Riordan triangle (see A093560 for a comment and A053121 for a comment and the 1991 Shapiro et al. reference on the Riordan group). Therefore the o.g.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x) = Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m is G(z,x) = (1+3*z)/(1-(1+x)*z).

The SW-NE diagonals give A000285(n-1) = Sum_{k=0..ceiling((n-1)/2)} a(n-1-k,k), n >= 1, with n=0 value 3. Observation by Paul Barry, Apr 29 2004. Proof via recursion relations and comparison of inputs.

For a closed-form formula for generalized Pascal's triangle see A228576. - Boris Putievskiy, Sep 09 2013

The n-th row polynomial is (4 + x)*(1 + x)^(n-1) for n >= 1. More generally, the n-th row polynomial of the Riordan array ( (1-a*x)/(1-b*x), x/(1-b*x) ) is (b - a + x)*(b + x)^(n-1) for n >= 1. - Peter Bala, Mar 02 2018

from math import comb, isqrt
def A093561(n): return comb(r:=(m:=isqrt(k:=n+1<<1))-(k<=m*(m+1)),a:=n-comb(r+1,2))*(r+3*(r-a))//r if n else 1 # Chai Wah Wu, Nov 12 2024

Formula

a(n, m) = F(4;n-m, m) for 0<= m <= n, otherwise 0, with F(4;0, 0)=1, F(4;n, 0)=4 if n>=1 and F(4;n, m) = (4*n+m)*binomial(n+m-1, m-1)/m if m>=1.

Recursion: a(n, m)=0 if m>n, a(0, 0)= 1; a(n, 0)=4 if n>=1; a(n, m)= a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1).

G.f. row m (without leading zeros): (1+3*x)/(1-x)^(m+1), m>=0.

T(n, k) = C(n, k) + 3*C(n-1, k). - Philippe Deléham, Aug 28 2005

exp(x) * e.g.f. for row n = e.g.f. for diagonal n. For example, for n = 3 we have exp(x)*(4 + 9*x + 6*x^2/2! + x^3/3!) = 4 + 13*x + 28*x^2/2! + 50*x^3/3! + 80*x^4/4! + .... The same property holds more generally for Riordan arrays of the form ( f(x), x/(1 - x) ). - Peter Bala, Dec 22 2014
