Comments

The odd-indexed terms (a bisection) gives A147582, the first differences of A147562 (Ulam-Warburton cellular automaton).

The even-indexed terms (a bisection) gives A147582 multiplied by 2.

The word of this cellular automaton is "ab", so the structure of the irregular triangle is as shown below:

a,b;

a,b;

a,b,a,b;

a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b;

a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b;

...

Row lengths are the terms of A011782 multiplied by 2, also the column 2 of A296612.

Columns "a" contain numbers of I-toothpicks. Columns "b" contain numbers of V-toothpicks. See the example.

For further information about the word of cellular automata see A296612.

Examples

			Written as an irregular triangle the sequence begins:

Formula

a(2n-1) = A147582(n).

a(2n) = 2*A147582(n).

a(n) = 4*A323641(n-2), n >= 3.
