Comments

If all positive numbers are replaced by 1 this becomes the characteristic partition array for partitions with parts 1,2 or 3 only, provided the partitions of n are ordered like in Abramowitz-Stegun (A-St order; for the reference see A134278).

Second member (K=2) in the family M31hat(-K) of partition number arrays.

The sequence of row lengths is A000041 (partition numbers) [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 30, 42,...].

This array is array A144358 divided entrywise by the array M_3=M3(1)=A036040. Formally 'A144358/A036040'. E.g. a(4,3)= 4 = 12/3 = A144358(4,3)/A036040(4,3).

If M31hat(-2;n,k) is summed over those k belonging to partitions with fixed number of parts m one obtains the unsigned triangle S1hat(-2):= A145364.

Examples

			Triangle begins
  [1];
  [2,1];
  [2,2,1];
  [0,2,4,2,1];
  [0,0,4,2,4,2,1];
  ...
a(4,3)= 4 = S1(-2;2,1)^2. The relevant partition of 4 is (2^2).

Formula

a(n,k) = product(S1(-2;j,1)^e(n,k,j),j=1..n) with S1(-2;n,1) = A008279(2,n-1) = [1,2,1,0,0,0,...], n>=1 and the exponent e(n,k,j) of j in the k-th partition of n in the A-St ordering of the partitions of n.
