Comments

If all positive numbers are replaced by 1 this becomes the characteristic partition array for partitions with parts 1,2,3,4 or 5 only, provided the partitions of n are ordered like in Abramowitz-Stegun (A-St order; for the reference see A134278).

Fourth member (K=4) 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 A144878 divided entrywise by the array M_3=M3(1)=A036040. Formally 'A144878/A036040'. E.g. a(4,3)= 16 = 48/3 = A144878(4,3)/A036040(4,3).

If M31hat(-4;n,k) is summed over those k numerating partitions with fixed number of parts m one obtains the unsigned triangle S1hat(-4):= A145370.

Examples

			Triangle begins:
  [1];
  [4,1];
  [12,4,1];
  [24,12,16,4,1];
  [24,24,48,12,16,4,1];
  ...
a(4,3)= 16 = S1(-4;2,1)^2. The relevant partition of 4 is (2^2).

Formula

a(n,k) = product(S1(-4;j,1)^e(n,k,j),j=1..n) with S1(-4;n,1) = A008279(4,n-1) = [1,4,12,24,24,0,0,0,...], 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.
