A120894 Cascadence of 1+x+x^2; a triangle, read by rows of 2n+1 terms, that retains its original form upon convolving each row with [1,1,1] and then letting excess terms spill over from each row into the initial positions of the next row such that only 2n+1 terms remain in row n for n>=0.

Comments

In this case, the g.f. of column 0, H(x), satisfies: H(x) = H(x*G^2)*G/x where G satisfies: G = x*(1+G+G^2), so that G/x = g.f. of Motzkin numbers (A001006). More generally, the cascadence of polynomial F(x) of degree d, F(0)=1, is a triangle with d*n+1 terms in row n where the g.f. H(x) of column 0 satisfies: H(x) = H(x*G^d)*G/x where G = x*F(G); thus G = series_reversion(x/F(x)), or, equivalently, [x^n] G = [x^n] x*F(x)^n/n for n>=1.

Further, the g.f. of the cascadence triangle for polynomial F(x) of degree d is given by: A(x,y) = ( x*H(x) - y*H(x*y^d) )/( x*F(y) - y ), where H(x) = G*H(x*G^d)/x and G = x*F(G). - Paul D. Hanna, Jul 17 2006

Convolution of [1,1,1] with each row produces:
[1,1,1]*[1] = [1,1,1];
[1,1,1]*[1,1,1] = [1,2,3,2,1];
[1,1,1]*[2,3,2,1,2] = [2,5,7,6,5,3,2];
[1,1,1]*[5,7,6,5,3,2,5] = [5,12,18,18,14,10,10,7,5];
[1,1,1]*[12,18,18,14,10,10,7,5,12] = [12,30,48,50,42,34,27,22,24,17,12]; ...
These convoluted rows, when concatenated, yield the sequence:
1,1,1, 1,2,3,2,1, 2,5,7,6,5,3,2, 5,12,18,18,14,10,10,7,5, ...
which equals the concatenated rows of this original triangle:
1, 1,1,1, 2,3,2,1,2, 5,7,6,5,3,2,5, 12,18,18,14,10,10,7,5,12, ...
