Irregular triangle read by rows (see examples). Consider an arbitrary anharmonic oscillator with Hamiltonian energy: H=(1/2)*b^2=(1/2)*(p^2+q^2) + Sum_{i=3} 2*v_i*q^i, and a stable minimum at (p,q)=(0,0). The phase space trajectory can be written in polar phase space coordinates as (q,p) = (R(x)cos(x),R(x)sin(x))=(R(Q)Q,R(Q)P). The present triangle determines a power / Fourier series of R(Q): R(Q) = b * (1 + sum b^n*T(n,m)*f(n,m) ); where the sum runs over n = 1,2,3 ... and m = 1,2,3...A000041(n). The basis functions f(n,m) are constructed from partitions of "n" listed in reverse lexicographic order. Partition n=(z_1+z_2+...z_j) becomes 2*Q^((z_1+2)+(z_2+2)+...(z_j+2))*v_{z_1+2}*v_{z_2+2}*...*v_{z_j+2} (see examples). This sequence transforms into A273506/A273507 by setting v_i=0 for odd i, v_i:=(-1)^(i/2-1)/2/(i!) otherwise, and (1/2)*b^2 = 2*k.

Irregular triangle read by rows (see examples).

Consider an axially symmetric oscillator in two dimensions with polar coordinates ( r, y ). By conservation of angular momentum, replace the cyclic angle coordinate y with dy/dt = 1/r^2. The system becomes one-dimensional in r, with an effective potential including the 1/r^2 term. Assume that the effective potential has a minimum around r0 and apply a linear transform r --> q = r-r0. Radial oscillations around the effective potential minimum follow the exact solution of A276738, A276814, A276815, A276816. Now dy = dx (dy/dt) / (dx/dt) = dx * Sum b^n*T(n,m)*F(n,m), with n=1,2,3.... and m=1,2,3...A000070(n). Basis functions F(n,m) are an ordered union over A276738's f(n,m): F(n,m')={ (1/r0^2)*(Q/r0)^n } & Append_{i=1..n}_{m=1..A000041(n)} (1/2/r0^2)*(Q/r0)^(n - i)*f(i,m), where each successive term f(i,m) is appended such that index m' inherets the ordering of each m index (see examples). Integrating dx over a range of 2 Pi loses all odd rows, as in A276815 / A276816. This sequence is a useful tool in classical and relativistic astronomy (follow links to Wolfram demonstrations).

Irregular triangle read by rows ( see examples ). The phase space trajectory of A276738 has one time dependent variable, the phase space angle "x" defined as Tan[x]=p/q. Then dx/dt = cos[x]^2* d/dt(p/q), which can be written as a function of Q=cos[x] by application of the classical equations of motion d/dt(p,q) = ( -d/dq H, d/dp H ), with H the anharmonic oscillator Hamiltonian. Substituting the result of A276738 and expanding in powers of b, we obtain dx/dt = -1 + sum b^n*T(n,m)*f(n,m); where the sum runs over n=1,2,3... and m = 1,2,3, ... A000041(n). The basis functions f(n,m) are the same as in A276738. Observe the limit where Q --> 0, dx/dt --> -1, the harmonic oscillator value. Similarly if v_i --> 0 then dx/dt --> -1.

The phase space trajectory A276738 has phase space angular velocity A276814, which allows expansion of dt = dx /(dx/dt) = dx(-1 + sum b^n*T(n,m)*f(n,m)); where the sum runs over n = 1, 2, 3 ... and m = 1, 2, 3, ... A000041(n). The basis functions f(n,m) are the same as in A276738. To obtain period K, we integrate the function of Q=cos[x] over a range of [2*pi,0]. All odd powers of Q integrate to zero, so the period is an expansion in E=(1/2)*b^2 (Cf. A276816). This sequence transforms into A274076/A274078 by setting v_i=0 for odd i, v_i=(-1)^(i/2-1)/2/(i!) otherwise, and (1/2)*b^2 = 2*k.
