A120914 Cascadence of (1+2x)^2; a triangle, read by rows of 2n+1 terms, that retains its original form upon convolving each row with [1,4,4] 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

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. of the triangle, A(x,y), is given by: A(x,y) = ( x*H(x) - y*H(x*y^d) )/( x*F(y) - y ), where H(x) satisfies: H(x) = G*H(x*G^d)/x and G satisfies: G = x*F(G) so that G = series_reversion(x/F(x)); also, H(x) is the g.f. of column 0.

Examples

			Triangle begins:
1;
4, 4, 4;
20, 36, 32, 16, 20;
116, 256, 288, 212, 144, 80, 116;
720, 1776, 2388, 2144, 1504, 1012, 784, 464, 720;
4656, 12372, 18800, 19632, 15604, 10848, 7648, 5712, 4736, 2880, 4656;
Convolution of [1,4,4] with each row produces:
[1,4,4]*[1] = [1,4,4];
[1,4,4]*[4,4,4] = [4,20,36,32,16];
[1,4,4]*[20,36,32,16,20] = [20,116,256,288,212,144,80];
[1,4,4]*[116,256,288,212,144,80,116] =
[116,720,1776,2388,2144,1504,1012,784,464];
These convoluted rows, when concatenated, yield the sequence:
1,4,4, 4,20,36,32,16, 20,116,256,288,212,144,80, 116,720,1776,2388,...
which equals the concatenated rows of this original triangle:
1, 4,4,4, 20,36,32,16,20, 116,256,288,212,144,80,116, 720,1776,2388,...

Formula

G.f.: A(x,y) = ( x*H(x) - y*H(x*y^2) )/( x*(1+2y)^2 - y ), where H(x) satisfies: H(x) = G*H(x*G^2)/x and G satisfies: G = x*(1 + 2G)^2 ; also, H(x) is the g.f. of column 0.
