%N A194273 Concentric triangular numbers (see Comments lines for definition).
%C A194273 This can be interpreted as a cellular automaton on the infinite hexagonal net. The sequence gives the number of cells "ON" in the structure after n-th stage. A194272 gives the first differences. For a definition without words see the illustration of initial terms in the example section. For other concentric polygonal numbers see A194274, A194275 and A032528.
%C A194273 Also, row sums of an infinite square array T(n,k) in which column k lists 6*k-1 zeros followed by the numbers A008486 (see example).
%H A194273 <a href="/index/Ce#cell">Index entries for sequences related to cellular automata</a>
%F A194273 G.f.: x/(1-3*x+3*x^2-3*x^4+3*x^5-x^6) = x/((1-x)^3*(1+x)*(1-x+x^2)).
%e A194273 Using the numbers A008486 we can write:
%e A194273 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36,...
