Old name: integers 1 to k followed by integers 1 to k+1 etc. (a fractal sequence).
Start counting again and again.
This is a "doubly fractal sequence" - see the Franklin T. Adams-Watters link.
The PARI functions t1, t2 can be used to read a square array T(n,k) (n >= 1, k >= 1) by antidiagonals downwards: n -> T(t1(n), t2(n)). - Michael Somos, Aug 23 2002
Reading this sequence as the antidiagonals of a rectangular array, row n is (n,n,n,...); this is the weight array (Cf. A144112) of the array A127779 (rectangular). - Clark Kimberling, Sep 16 2008
The upper trim of an arbitrary fractal sequence s is s, but the lower trim of s, although a fractal sequence, need not be s itself. However, the lower trim of A002260 is A002260. (The upper trim of s is what remains after the first occurrence of each term is deleted; the lower trim of s is what remains after all 0's are deleted from the sequence s-1.) - Clark Kimberling, Nov 02 2009
Eigensequence of the triangle = A001710 starting (1, 3, 12, 60, 360, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 02 2010
The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link this triangle of natural numbers with twenty-three different sequences, see the crossrefs. The mirror image of this triangle is A004736. - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010
A002260 is the self-fission of the polynomial sequence (q(n,x)), where q(n,x) = x^n + x^(n-1) + ... + x + 1. See A193842 for the definition of fission. - Clark Kimberling, Aug 07 2011
Sequence B is called a reluctant sequence of sequence A, if B is triangle array read by rows: row number k coincides with first k elements of the sequence A. Sequence A002260 is reluctant sequence of sequence 1,2,3,... (A000027). - Boris Putievskiy, Dec 12 2012
This is the maximal sequence of positive integers, such that once an integer k has occurred, the number of k's always exceeds the number of (k+1)'s for the remainder of the sequence, with the first occurrence of the integers being in order. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 23 2013
A002260 are the k antidiagonal numerators of rationals in Cantor's proof of 1-to-1 correspondence between rationals and naturals; the denominators are k-numerator+1. - Adriano Caroli, Mar 24 2015
T(n,k) gives the distance to the largest triangular number < n. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Apr 09 2020

Columns are linear recurrence sequences with signature (3,-3,1).
8*T(n,k) + A166147(k-1) are squares.
Columns k are binomial transforms of [1, k, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...].
Antidiagonals sums yield A116731.
