Comments

Begin with the triangular numbers A000217 and circle every T(k)-th term, getting the doubly triangular numbers, A002817. Per instructions shown in A125714, take partial sums of the uncircled terms in row 1, denoting this as row 2. Circle the row 2 terms which are one place to the left of row 1 terms. Take partial sums again in analogous operations for subsequent rows.

Left border = A104989: (1, 3, 13, 69, 433...). Right border = the doubly triangular numbers starting (1, 6, 21...): A002817.

Examples

			First few rows of the triangle are as follows:
    1;
    3,    6;
   13,   28,   21;
   69,  161,  137,  55;
  433, 1078, 1017, 477, 120;
