For the matrix of the FP1 polynomials see A156921. The coefficients in the columns of this matrix are the powers of z^m, m=0, 1, 2, ... . The columns are numbered 1, 2, 3... .
The GF3(z;m) generate the sequences of the z^m coefficients. The general structure of the GF3(z;m) is given below.
The FP3(z,m) in the numerator of the GF3(z;m) is a polynomial of a certain degree, let's say k3. The (k3+1) coefficients of this polynomial can be determined one by one by comparing the series expansion of the FP3(z,m) with the values of the powers of z^m in column (m+1). These values can be generated with the GF1 formulas, see A156921.
An appropriate name for the polynomials FP3(z;m) in the numerators of the GF(3;m) seems to be the flower polynomials of the third kind, the FP3, because the zero patterns of these polynomials look like flowers. The zero patterns of the FP3 and the FP4, see A156933, resemble each other closely and look like the zero patterns of the FP1 and FP2.
The sequence of the (k3+1) number of terms of the FP3(z;m) polynomials for m from 0 to 11 is 1, 2, 8, 17, 29, 45, 63, 84, 109, 137, 167, 200.

			The first few rows of the "triangle" of the FP3(z,m) coefficients are:
  [1]
  [1, 1]
  [-6, 29, 31, -283, 245, 298, -286, -108]
The first few FP3 polynomials are:
  FP3(z; m=0) = 1
  FP3(z; m=1) = (1+z)
  FP3(z; m=2) = (-6+29*z+31*z^2-283*z^3+245*z^4+298*z^5-286*z^6-108*z^7)
Some GF3(z;m) are:
  GF3(z;m=1) = z^2*(1+z)/((1-z)^4*(1-2*z))
  GF3(z;m=2) = z^2*(-6+29*z+31*z^2-283*z^3+245*z^4+298*z^5-286*z^6-108*z^7)/((1-z)^7*(1-2*z)^4*(1-3*z))

Cf. A156920, A156921, A156925, A156933.
For the first few GF3's see A156928, A156929, A156930, A156931.
Row sums A156932.
For the polynomials in the denominators of the GF3(z;m) see A157704.

G.f.: GF3(z;m):= z^p*FP3(z;m)/Product_{k=0..m} (1-(k+1)*z)^(1+3*k).

The formula for the PDGF1(z;n) polynomials in the GF1 denominators of A156921 can be found below.
The general structure of the GFKT1(z;p) that generate the z^p coefficients of the PDGF1(z; n) polynomials can also be found below. The KT1(z;p) polynomials in the numerators of the GFKT1(z;p) have a nice symmetrical structure.
The sequence of the number of terms of the first few KT1(z;p) polynomials is: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 17, 20, 23, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 37, 40. The first differences follow a simple pattern. The positions of the 1's follow the Lazy Caterer's sequence A000124.
A Maple algorithm that generates relevant GFKT1(z;p) information can be found below.

			Some PDGF1 (z;n) are:
  PDGF1(z;n=3) = (1-5*z)*(1-3*z)^2*(1-z)^3
  PDGF1(z;n=4) = ((1-7*z)*(1-5*z)^2*(1-3*z)^3*(1-z)^4)
The first few GFKT1's are:
  GFKT1(z;p=0) = 1/(1-z)
  GFKT1(z;p=1) = -z*(1+z)/(1-z)^4
  GFKT1(z;p=2) = z^2*(7+26*z+7*z^2)/(1-z)^7
Some KT1(z;p) polynomials are:
  KT1(z;p=2) = 7+26*z+7*z^2
  KT1(z;p=3) = 3+166*z+951*z^2+951*z^3+166*z^4+3*z^5
  KT1(z;p=4) = 263+8999*z+59637*z^2+108602*z^3+59637*z^4+8999*z^5+263*z^6

Using four consecutive numbers n, n+1, n+2, and n+3 take all possible pairs (n, n+1), (n, n+2), (n, n+3), (n+1, n+2), (n+1, n+3), (n+2, n+3) to create unreduced Pythagorean triangles. The sum of all six areas is 60*a(n+1).
Using three consecutive odd numbers j, k, m, (j+k+m)^3 - (j^3 + k^3 + m^3) equals 576*a(n) = 24^2*a(n) where n = (j+1)/2. (End)

The n-th square pyramidal number = the n-th triangular dipyramidal number (Johnson 12), which is the sum of the n-th + (n-1)-st tetrahedral numbers. E.g., the 3rd tetrahedral number is 10 = 1+3+6, the 2nd is 4 = 1+3. In triangular "dipyramidal form" these numbers can be written as 1+3+6+3+1 = 14. For "square pyramidal form", rebracket as 1+(1+3)+(3+6) = 14. - John F. Richardson, Mar 27 2014

We construct a number triangle from the integers 1, 2, 3, ..., n as follows. The first column contains 2*n-1 integers 1. The second column contains 2*n-3 integers 2, ... The last column contains only one integer n. The sum of all the numbers in the triangle is a(n).
Here is an example with n = 5:

Conjecture: Every integer can be represented as a sum of three generalized square pyramidal numbers. A related conjecture is given in A336205 corresponding to pentagonal case. A stronger version of these conjectures is that every integer can be expressed as a sum of three generalized r-gonal pyramidal numbers for all r >= 3. In here "generalized" means negative indices are included. - Altug Alkan, Jul 30 2020

Johannes W. Meijer, Feb 20 2009

The FP2 polynomials appear in the numerators of the GF2 o.g.f.s. of the left hand columns of A156920. The FP2 can be calculated with the formula of the LHC sequence, see A156920, and the formula for the general structure of the generating function GF2, see below.
An appropriate name for the FP2 polynomials seems to be the flower polynomials of the second kind because the zero patterns of these polynomials look like flowers. The zero patterns of the FP2 and the FP1, see A156921, resemble each other closely.
A Maple program that generates for a left hand column with a certain LHCnr its GF2 and FP2 can be found below. LHCnr stands for left hand column number and starts from 1.

			The first few rows of the "triangle" of the coefficients of the FP2 polynomials.
In the columns the coefficients of the powers of z^m, m=0,1,2,..., appear.

The first few FP2 polynomials are:
  FP2(z; LHCnr = 1) = 1
  FP2(z; LHCnr = 2) = (1+z)
  FP2(z; LHCnr = 3) = 1+8*z-11*z^2-6*z^3
Some GF2(z;LHCnr) are:
  GF2(z; LHCnr = 3) = (1+8*z-11*z^2-6*z^3)/((1-z)^3*(1-2*z)^2*(1-3*z))
  GF2(z; LHCnr = 4) = (1+38*z-108*z^2-242*z^3+839*z^4-444*z^5-180*z^6)/((1-z)^4*(1-2*z)^3*(1-3*z)^2*(1-4*z))

Cf. A156920, A156921, A156927, A156933.
For the first few GF2's see A050488, A142965, A142966 and A142968.
Row sums(n) = A156926(n).
The number of FP2 terms follow the 'Lazy Caterer's sequence' A000124.
For the polynomials in the denominators of the GF2(z;LHCnr) see A157703.

G.f.: GF2(z; LHCnr) = FP2(z; LHCnr)/Product_{m=1..LHCnr} (1-m*z)^(LHCnr-m+1).

Row sum(n+1) = (-1)^(n)*2*(n+1)!*Row sum(n); Row sum(n=0) = 1.
