Except for the first term of [A002522] and [A058331] if X = [A058331], Y = [A087113], A = [A002522], we have, for all other terms, Pell's equation: [A058331]^2 - [A002522]*[A087113]^2 = 1; (X^2 - A*Y^2 = 1); e.g., 3^2 -2*2^2 = 1; 9^2 - 5*4^2 = 1; 129^2 - 65*16^2 = 1, and so on. - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 07 2010

From Bernard Schott, Apr 05 2021: (Start)

As a(n) = 2^(n-1) for n = 1..5, it is misleading to believe that a(n) = 2^(n-1) for n > 5 (see Patrick Popescu-Pampu link); other curiosities: a(6) = 2^5 - 1 and a(10) = 2^8.

The sequence of the first differences is A000125, the sequence of the second differences is A000124, the sequence of the third differences is A000027 and the sequence of the fourth differences is the all 1's sequence A000012 (see J. H. Conway and R. K. Guy reference, p. 80). (End)

a(n) is the number of binary words of length n matching the regular expression 0*1*0*1*0*. A000124 and A000125 count binary words of the form 0*1*0* and 1*0*1*0*, respectively. - Manfred Scheucher, Jun 22 2023

A triangle formed like Pascal's triangle, but with 2^n for n >= 0 on the right border instead of 1. - Boris Putievskiy, Aug 18 2013

For a closed-form formula for generalized Pascal's triangle see A228576. - Boris Putievskiy, Sep 04 2013

Consider each "1" as an apex of two sequences: the first is the set of terms in the same row as the "1", but the rightmost term in the row repeats infinitely. Example: the row (1, 4, 7, 8) becomes (1, 4, 7, 8, 8, 8, ...). The second sequence begins with the same "1" but is the diagonal going down and to the right, thus: (1, 5, 16, 42, 99, 219, 466, ...). It appears that for all such sequence pairs, the binomial transform of the first, (1, 4, 7, 8, 8, 8, ...) in this case; is equal to the second: (1, 5, 16, 42, 99, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 19 2015

Let T* be the infinite tree with root 0 generated by these rules: if p is in T*, then p+1 is in T* and x*p is in T*. Let q(n) be the sum of polynomials in the n-th generation of T*. For n >= 0, row n of A008949 gives the coefficients of q(n+1); e.g., (row 3) = (1, 4, 7, 8) matches x^3 + 4*x^2 + 7*x + 9, which is the sum of the 8 polynomials in the 4th generation of T*. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 16 2016

T(n,k) is the number of subsets of [n]={1,...,n} of at most size k. Equivalently, T(n,k) is the number of subsets of [n] of at least size n-k. Counting the subsets of at least size (n-k) by conditioning on the largest element m of the smallest (n-k) elements of such a subset provides the formula T(n,k) = Sum_{m=n-k..n} C(m-1,n-k-1)*2^(n-m), and, by letting j=m-n+k, we obtain T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..k} C(n+j-k-1,j)*2^(k-j). - Dennis P. Walsh, Sep 25 2017

If the interval of integers 1..n is shifted up or down by k, making the new interval 1+k..n+k or 1-k..n-k, then T(n-1,n-1-k) (= 2^(n-1)-T(n-1,k-1)) is the number of subsets of the new interval that contain their own cardinal number as an element. - David Pasino, Nov 01 2018

Pascal's triangle is formed using the rule South = West + East, whereas the rascal triangle uses the rule South = (West*East+1)/North. [Anggoro et al.]

The n-th diagonal is congruent to 1 mod n-1.

Row sums are the cake numbers, A000125. Alternating sum of row n is 0 if n even and (3-n)/2 if n odd. Rows are symmetric, beginning and ending with 1. The number of occurrences of k in this triangle is the number of divisors of k-1, given by A000005.

The triangle can be generated by numbers of the form k*(n-k) + 1 for k = 0 to n. Conjecture: except for n = 0,1 and 6 every row contains a prime. - Amarnath Murthy, Jul 15 2005

Above conjecture needs more exceptions, rows 30 and 54 do not contain primes. - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 31 2017

From Moshe Shmuel Newman, Apr 06 2008: (Start)

Consider the semigroup of words in x,y,q subject to the relationships: yx = xyq, qx = xq, qy = yq.

Now take words of length n in x and y, with exactly k y's. If there had been no relationships, the number of different words of this type would be n choose k, sequence A007318. Thanks to the relationships, the number of words of this type is the k-th entry in the n-th row of this sequence (read as a triangle, with the first row indexed by zero and likewise the first entry in each row.)

For example: with three letters and one y, we have three possibilities: xxy, xyx = xxyq, yxx = xxyqq. No two of them are equal, so this entry is still 3, as in Pascal's triangle.

With four letters, two y's, we have the first reduction: xyyx = yxxy = xxyyqq and this is the only reduction for 4 letters. So the middle entry of the fourth row is 5 instead of 6, as in the Pascal triangle. (End)

Main diagonals of this triangle sum to polygonal numbers. See A057145. - Raphie Frank, Oct 30 2012

T(n,k) gives the number of distinct sums of k elements in {1,2,...,n}, e.g., T(5,4) = the number of distinct sums of 4 elements in {1,2,3,4,5}, which is (5+4+3+2) - (4+3+2+1) + 1 = 5. - Derek Orr, Nov 26 2014

Conjecture: excluding the starting and ending 1's in each row, those that contain only prime numbers are n = 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, and 17. Tested up to row 10^9. - Rogério Serôdio, Sep 20 2017

The rascal triangle also uses the rule South = (West+East+1)-North. [Abstracts of AMS, Winter 2019, p. 526, 1145-VS-280, refers to Julian Fleron] - Michael Somos, Jan 12 2019

As a square array read by antidiagonals, selecting terms that give a remainder of 1 when divided by a prime gives evenly sized squares. For example, when each term is divided by 2, showing the remainder looks like:

1 1 1 1 1

1 0 1 0 1

1 1 1 1 1

1 0 1 0 1

1 1 1 1 1 - Nathaniel J. Strout, Jan 01 2020

T(n,k) is the number of binary words of length n which contain exactly k 1s and have at most 1 ascent. T(n,k) is also the number of ascent sequences avoiding 001 and 210 with length n+1 and exactly k ascents. - Amelia Gibbs, May 21 2024

Viewed as a number triangle, T(n,k) is the number of internal nodes of the Fibonacci tree of order n+2 at level k. A Fibonacci tree of order n (n>=2) is a complete binary tree whose left subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-1 and whose right subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-2; each of the Fibonacci trees of order 0 and 1 is defined as a single node.
