Comments
The subtractive carryover dot product of two vectors (a(1),a(2),...,a(n)) dot (b(1),b(2),...,b(n)) = (c(1),...,c(n)) is defined by c(1) = a(1)*b(1) and c(i) = a(i)*b(i)-c(i-1), i>1.
A177877 = analogous triangle with additive carryovers.
A160770 = the analogous triangle using the triangular series as the generating vector.
Examples
Row 3 = (4, 2, 4, 0) = (1, 2, 3, 4) dot (4, 3, 2, 1) with subtractive carryovers = (4), then (2*3 - 4 = 2), (3*2 - 2 = 4), and (4*1 - 4 = 0). First few rows of the triangle: 1; 2, 0; 3, 1, 2; 4, 2, 4, 0; 5, 3, 6, 2, 3; 6, 4, 8, 4, 6, 0; 7, 5, 10, 6, 9, 3, 4; 8, 6, 12, 8, 12, 6, 8, 0; 9, 7, 14, 10, 15, 9, 12, 4, 5; 10, 8, 16, 12, 18, 12, 16, 8, 10, 0; 11, 9, 18, 14, 21, 15, 20, 12, 15, 5, 6; 12, 10, 20, 16, 24, 18, 24, 16, 20, 10, 12, 0; ...
Formula
By rows, dot product of (1,2,3,...) and (...3,2,1) with subtractive carryovers; such that current row product subtracts previous product.
