Row sums give A000292; triangle sums give A000332;

All numbers m > 0 occur A000005(m) times;

A002378(n) = T(A005408(n),n+1) = n*(n+1).

k-th columns are arithmetic progressions with step k, starting with 0. If a zero is prefixed to the sequence, then we get a new table where the columns are again arithmetic progressions with step k, but starting with k, k=0,1,2,...: 1st column = (0,0,0,...), 2nd column = (1,2,3,...), 3rd column = (2,4,6,8,...), etc. - M.

Construct the infinite-dimensional matrix representation of angular momentum operators (J_1,J_2,J_3) in the Jordan-Schwinger form (cf. Harter, Klee, Schwinger). The triangle terms T(n,k) = T(2j,j+m) satisfy: (1/2)T(2j,j+m)^(1/2) = = = i = -i . Matrices for J_1 and J_2 are sparse. These equalities determine the only nonzero entries. - Bradley Klee, Jan 29 2016

T(n+1,k+1) is the number of degrees of freedom of a k-dimensional affine subspace within an n-dimensional vector space. This is most readily interpreted geometrically: e.g. in 3 dimensions a line (1-dimensional subspace) has T(4,2) = 4 degrees of freedom and a plane has T(4,3) = 3. T(n+1,1) = n indicates that points in n dimensions have n degrees of freedom. T(n,n) = 0 for any n as all n-dimensional spaces in an n-dimensional space are equivalent. - Daniel Leary, Apr 29 2020

Examples

			From _M. F. Hasler_, Feb 02 2013: (Start)
Triangle begins:
  0;
  1, 0;
  2, 2, 0;
  3, 4, 3, 0;
  4, 6, 6, 4, 0;
  5, 8, 9, 8, 5, 0;
  (...)
If an additional 0 was added at the beginning, this would become:
  0;
  0, 1;
  0, 2, 2;
  0, 3, 4; 3;
  0, 4, 6, 6, 4;
  0, 5, 8, 9, 8, 5;
  ... (End)
