A321768 Consider the ternary tree of triples P(n, k) with n > 0 and 0 < k <= 3^(n-1), such that P(1, 1) = [3; 4; 5] and each triple t on some row branches to the triples A*t, B*t, C*t on the next row (with A = [1, -2, 2; 2, -1, 2; 2, -2, 3], B = [1, 2, 2; 2, 1, 2; 2, 2, 3] and C = [-1, 2, 2; -2, 1, 2; -2, 2, 3]); T(n, k) is the first component of P(n, k).

The tree P runs uniquely through every primitive Pythagorean triple.
The ternary tree is built as follows:
- for any n and k such that n > 0 and 0 < k <= 3^(n-1):
- P(n, k) is a column vector,
- P(n+1, 3*k-2) = A * P(n, k),
- P(n+1, 3*k-1) = B * P(n, k),
- P(n+1, 3*k) = C * P(n, k).
All terms are odd.
Every primitive Pythagorean triple (a, b, c) can be characterized by a pair of parameters (i, j) such that:
- i > j > 0 and gcd(i, j) = 1 and i and j are of opposite parity,
- a = i^2 - j^2,
- b = 2 * i * j,
- c = i^2 + j^2,
- A321782(n, k) and A321783(n, k) respectively give the value of i and of j pertaining to (A321768(n, k), A321769(n, k), A321770(n, k)).
Every primitive Pythagorean triple (a, b, c) can also be characterized by a pair of parameters (u, v) such that:
- u > v > 0 and gcd(u, v) = 1 and u and v are odd,
- a = u * v,
- b = (u^2 - v^2) / 2,
- c = (u^2 + v^2) / 2,
- A321784(n, k) and A321785(n, k) respectively give the value of u and of v pertaining to (A321768(n, k), A321769(n, k), A321770(n, k)).

- T(n, 3^(n-1)) = 4*n^2 - 1.
