cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A361045 Array read by descending antidiagonals. A(n, k) is, if n > 0, the number of multiset combinations of {0, 1} whose type is defined in the comments. A(0, k) = k + 1.

A combination of a multiset M is an unordered selection of k objects of M, where every object can appear at most as many times as it appears in M.
A(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k} Cardinality(Combination(MultiSet(1^[j*n], 0^[(k-j)*n]))), where MultiSet(r^[s], u^[v]) denotes a set that contains the element r with multiplicity s and the element u with multiplicity v; thus the multisets under consideration have n*k elements. Since the base set is {1, 0} the elements can be represented as binary strings. Applying the combination operator to the multisets results in a set of binary strings where '0' resp. '1' can appear at most j*n resp. (k-j)*n times. 'At most' means that they do not have to appear; in other words, the resulting set always includes the empty string ''.
This construction is the counterpart of A361043, generated by substituting 'Permutations' with 'Combinations' in the formulas (resp. programs). But since the resulting sets are not disjoint, this leads to multiple counting of some elements. If this is not desired, one can choose the variant described in A361682.
