Comments

The n-th column of the triangle is the binomial transform of the n-th row of A081277, followed by zeros. Example: column 3, (1, 6, 19, 44, ...) = binomial transform of row 3 of A081277: (1, 5, 8, 4, 0, 0, 0, ...). A104698 = reversal by rows of A142978. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 17 2008

This sequence is jointly generated with A210222 as an array of coefficients of polynomials u(n,x): initially, u(1,x)=v(1,x)=1; for n > 1, u(n,x) = x*u(n-1,x) + v(n-1) + 1 and v(n,x) = 2x*u(n-1,x) + v(n-1,x) + 1. See the Mathematica section at A210222. - Clark Kimberling, Mar 19 2012

This Riordan triangle T appears in a formula for A001100(n, 0) = A002464(n), for n >= 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 13 2025

Formula

The triangle is extracted from the product A * B; A = [1; 1, 1; 1, 1, 1; ...], B = [1; 1, 1; 1, 3, 1; 1, 5, 5, 1; ...] both infinite lower triangular matrices (rest of the terms are zeros). The triangle of matrix B by rows = A008288, Delannoy numbers.

Riordan array (1/(1-x)^2, x(1+x)/(1-x)) = (1/(1-x), x)*(1/(1-x), x(1+x)/(1-x)).

T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n} Sum_{i=0..j-k} C(j-k, i)*C(k, i)*2^i.

T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k} Sum_{i=0..n-k-j} (n-k-j-i+1)*C(k, j)*C(k+i-1, i). (End)

T(n, k) = binomial(n+1, k+1)*2F1([-k, k-n], [-n-1], -1) where 2F1 is a Gaussian hypergeometric function. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 04 2011

T(n, k) = T(n-2, k-1) + T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-1, k) for 1 < k < n; T(n, 0) = n + 1; T(n, n) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 17 2015

The Riordan triangle T = (1/(1 - x)^2, x*(1 + x)/(1 - x)) has the o.g.f. G(x, y) = 1/((1 - x)*(1 - x - y*x*(1+x))) for the row polynomials R(n, y) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*y^k.

The o.g.f. for column k is G(k, x) = (1/(1 - x)^2)*(x*(1 + x)/(1 - x))^k, for k >= 0.

The o.g.f. for the diagonal m is D(m, x) = N(m, x)/(1 - x)^(m+1), with the numerator polynomial N(m, x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(m/2)} A034867(m, k)*x^(2*k) for m >= 0.

The row sums with o.g.f. R(x) = 1/((1 -x)*(1 - 2*x -x^2) give A048739.

The alternating row sums with o.g.f. 1/((1 - x)(1 + x^2)) give A133872.

The A-sequence for this Riordan triangle has o.g.f. A(x) = 1 + x + sqrt(1 + 6*x + x^2))/2 giving A112478(n). Hence T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n-k} A112478(j)*T(n-1, k-1+j), for n >= 1, k >= 1, T(n, k) = 0 for n < k, and T(0, 0) = 1.

The Z-sequence has o.g.f. (5 + x - sqrt(1 + 6*x + x^2))/2 = 3 + x - A(x) giving Z(n) = {2, -1, -A112478(n >= 2)}. Hence T(n, 0) = Sum_{j=0..n-1} Z(j)*T(n-1, j), for n >= 1. For A- and Z-sequences of Riordan triangles see a W. Lang link at A006232 with references.

The Boas-Buck sequences alpha and beta for the Riordan triangle T (see A046521 for the Aug 10 2017 comment and reference) are alpha(n) = A040000(n+1) = repeat{2} and beta(n) = A010673(n+1) = repeat{2,0}. Hence the recurrence for column T(n, k){n>=k}, with input T(k, k) = 1, for k >= 0, is T(n, k) = (1/(n-k)) * Sum{j=k..n-1} (2 + k*(1 + (-1)^(n-1-j))) *T(j,k), for n >= k+1. (End)
