The Ca3, Ca4, Gi3 and Gi4 triangle sums (see A180662 for their definitions) of the Connell-Pol triangle A159797 are linear sums of shifted versions of the duplicated tetrahedral numbers, e.g., Gi3(n) = 17*a(n) + 19*a(n-1) and Gi4(n) = 5*a(n) + a(n-1).
Furthermore the Kn3, Kn4, Ca3, Ca4, Gi3 and Gi4 triangle sums of the Connell sequence A001614 as a triangle are also linear sums of shifted versions of the sequence given above. (End)

We consider optimal proper vertex colorings of a graph G. Assume that the labeling, i.e., coloring starts with 1. By optimality we mean that the maximum label used is the minimum of the maximum integer label used across all possible labelings of G. Let S=Sum of the differences |l(v) - l(u)|, the sum being over all edges uv of G and l(w) is the label associated with a vertex w of G. We say G admits unique labeling if all possible labelings of G is S-invariant and yields the same integer partition of S. With an offset this sequence gives the S-values for the complete graph on n vertices, n = 2, 3, ... . - K.V.Iyer, Jul 08 2011

Aside from the zero, this sequence is the fourth diagonal of the Pascal matrix A007318 and the only nonvanishing diagonal (fourth) of the matrix representation IM = (A132440)^3/3! of the differential operator D^3/3!, when acting on the row vector of coefficients of an o.g.f., or power series.
M = e^{IM} is the lower triangular matrix of coefficients of the Appell polynomial sequence p_n(x) = e^{D^3/3!} x^n = e^{b. D} x^n = (b. + x)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) b_n x^{n-k}, where the (b.)^n = b_n have the e.g.f. e^{b.t} = e^{t^3/3!}, which is that for A025035 aerated with double zeros, the first column of M.
See A099174 and A000332 for analogous relationships for the third and fifth diagonals of the Pascal matrix. (End)

The third Euler row (1,4,1) has an additional connection with the tetrahedral numbers besides the n^3 identity stated above: a^2(n) + 4*a^2(n+1) + a^2(n+2) = a(n^2+4n+4), which can be shown with algebra. E.g., a^2(2) + 4*a^2(3) + a^2(4) = 16 + 400 + 400 = a(16). Although an analogous thing happens with the (1,1) row of Euler's triangle and triangular numbers C(n+1,2) = A000217(n) = T(n), namely both T(n-1) + T(n) = n^2 and T^2(n-1) + T^2(n) = T(n^2) are true, only one (the usual identity) still holds for the Euler row (1,11,11,1) and the C(n,4) numbers in A000332. That is, the dot product of (1,11,11,1) with the squares of 4 consecutive terms of A000332 is not generally a term of A000332. - Richard Peterson, Aug 21 2022

The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link the triangle A159797 with eleven sequences, see the crossrefs. - Johannes W. Meijer, May 20 2011
T(n,k) is the number of distinct sums in the direct sum of {1, 2, ... n} with itself k times for 1 <= k <= n+1, e.g., T(5,3) = the number of distinct sums in the direct sum {1,2,3,4,5} + {1,2,3,4,5} + {1,2,3,4,5}. The sums range from 1+1+1=3 to 5+5+5=15. So there are 13 distinct sums. - Derek Orr, Nov 26 2014

For n >= i, i = 6,7, a(n - i) is the number of incongruent two-color bracelets of n beads, i of which are black (cf. A005513, A032280), having a diameter of symmetry. The latter means the following: if we imagine (0,1)-beads as points (with the corresponding labels) dividing a circumference of a bracelet into n identical parts, then a diameter of symmetry is a diameter (connecting two beads or not) such that a 180-degree turn of one of two sets of points around it (obtained by splitting the circumference by this diameter) leads to the coincidence of the two sets (including their labels). - Vladimir Shevelev, May 03 2011

The Gi1 triangle sums, for the definitions of these and other triangle sums see A180662, of the triangle A159797 are linear sums of shifted versions of the quadruplicated tetrahedral numbers A000292, i.e., Gi1(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 2*a(n-4) + a(n-8).
The Gi1 and Gi2 triangle sums of the Connell sequence A001614 as a triangle are also linear sums of shifted versions of the sequence given above.

Formula

a(n) = binomial(floor(n/4)+3,3).
a(n-3) + a(n-2) + a(n-1) + a(n) = A144678(n).
a(n) = +a(n-1) +3*a(n-4) -3*a(n-5) -3*a(n-8) +3*a(n-9) +a(n-12) -a(n-13).
G.f.: 1 / ( (1+x)^3*(1+x^2)^3*(x-1)^4 ).
