A277513 Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of integers greater than 4 such that they have n trits and 2k+1 (k>=1) nonzero trits in their balanced ternary representation, with n>=3 and 1<=k<=(j-1)/2.

Comments

This is a subset of A013609 and A188440.

This sequence T(n,k) can be re-indexed into the form of b(m) where m is positive integer sequence that can be calculated by parametric function m = m(n,k): m(n=2j+1,k) = j^2-j+k, where n is odd and 1<=k<=j.

m(n=2j,k) = j^2-2j+1+k, where n is even and 1<=k<=j.

Here n is the number of digits of an odd number in balanced ternary representation, and 2k+1 is the number of nonzero trits (1 or T) of the same number in balanced ternary representation.

Examples

			Odd numbers that can be expressed in 3 trits balanced ternary (bt) form are 5 = 1TT, 7 = 1T1, 9 = 100, 11 = 11T, 13 = 111. Among these five numbers, four have 3 nonzero digits, so a(1) = 4.
Odd numbers in 4 trits bt form are 15 = 1TT0, 17 = 1T0T, 19 = 1T01, 21 = 1T10, 23 = 10TT, 25 = 10T1, 27 = 1000, 29 = 101T, 31 = 1011, 33 = 11T0, 35 = 110T, 37 = 1101, 39 = 1110. Among these 13 numbers, 12 have 3 nonzero digits, so a(2) = 12.
The irregular triangle begins:

n=15    364  16016 192192 768768 1025024 372736  16384
These are the odd columns with the 1st column removed in the table in A013609.
