1) When sequence is read as a regular triangular array, T(n,k) is the coefficient of the k-th power in the expansion of (x^(n+1)-1)/(x-1).
2) Sequence can also be read as a uninomial array with rows of length 1, analogous to arrays of binomial, trinomial, etc., coefficients. In a q-nomial array, T(n,k) is the coefficient of the k-th power in the expansion of ((x^q -1)/(x-1))^n, and row n has a sum of q^n and a length of (q-1)*n + 1. (End)

As a lower triangular array, T is an example of the fundamental generalized factorial matrices of A133314. Multiplying each n-th diagonal by t^n gives M(t) = I/(I-t*S) = I + t*S + (t*S)^2 + ... where S is the shift operator A129184, and T = M(1). The inverse of M(t) is obtained by multiplying the first subdiagonal of T by -t and the other subdiagonals by zero, so A167374 is the inverse of T. Multiplying by t^n/n! gives exp(t*S) with inverse exp(-t*S). - Tom Copeland, Nov 10 2012
The original definition of the meter was one ten-millionth of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole.

An n X n nonnegative matrix A is primitive (see A070322) iff every element of A^k is > 0 for some power k. If A is primitive then the power which should have all positive entries is <= n^2 - 2n + 2 (Wielandt).
a(n) = Phi_4(n), where Phi_k is the k-th cyclotomic polynomial.
As the positive solution to x=2n+1/x is x=n+sqrt(a(n)), the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(a(n)) is {n; 2n, 2n, 2n, 2n, ...}. - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 07 2001
a(n) is one less than the arithmetic mean of its neighbors: a(n) = (a(n-1) + a(n+1))/2 - 1. E.g., 2 = (1+5)/2 - 1, 5 = (2+10)/2 - 1. - Amarnath Murthy, Jul 29 2003

For n >= 1, a(n-1) is the minimal number of choices from an n-set such that at least one particular element has been chosen at least n times or each of the n elements has been chosen at least once. Some games define "matches" this way; e.g., in the classic Parker Brothers, now Hasbro, board game Risk, a(2)=5 is the number of cards of three available types (suits) required to guarantee at least one match of three different types or of three of the same type (ignoring any jokers or wildcards). - Rick L.

Positive X values of solutions to the equation X^3 + (X - 1)^2 + X - 2 = Y^2.

Also the limit as q->1^- of the unimodal polynomial (1-q^(n*k+1))/(1-q) after making the simplification k=n. The unimodal polynomial is from O'Hara's proof of unimodality of q-binomials after making the restriction to partitions of size <= 1. See G_1(n,k) from arXiv:1711.11252. As the size restriction s increases, G_s->G_infinity=G: the q-binomials. Then substituting k=n and q=1 yields the central binomial coefficients: A000984. - Bryan T. Ek, Apr 11 2018

The odd prime factors of these terms are always of the form 4*k + 1.
All a(n) = D satisfy the Pell equation (k*x)^2 - D*y^2 = -1. The values for k and the solutions x, y can be calculated using the following algorithm: k = n, x(0) = 1, x(1) = 4*D - 1, y(0) = 1, y(1) = 4*D - 3. The two recurrences are of the form (4*D - 2, -1). The solutions x, y of the Pell equations for n = {1 ... 14} are in OEIS.
It follows from the above that this sequence is a subsequence of A031396. (End)

Also, primes of the form k^2 - 2k + 3.
Note that all terms after the first two are equal to 11 modulo 72 and that (a(n)-11)/72 is a triangular number, since they have to be 2 more than the square of an odd multiple of 3 to be prime, and if k = 6*m+3 then a(n) = k^2 + 2 = 72*m*(m+1)/2 + 11.
The quotient cycle length is 2 in the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(p) for these primes. E.g.: cfrac(sqrt(6563),6) = 81+1/(81+1/(162+1/(81+1/(162+1/(81+1/(162+`...`)))))). - Labos Elemer, Feb 22 2001

All a(n) except for a(1) = 2 are the Pythagorean primes, i.e., primes of form 4k+1. Conjecture: every Pythagorean prime appears in a(n) at least once.
Problem 11831 [Ozols 2015] is to prove that lim inf a(n)/n is zero. - Michael Somos, May 11 2015
From Michael Kaltman, Jun 10 2015: (Start)
For all numbers k in A256011, a(k) < k.
Conjecture: every Pythagorean prime p appears exactly two times among the first p integers of the sequence. Further: if a(i) = a(j) = p and both i and j are less than p (and i is not equal to j), then i + j = p and ij == 1 (mod p). [If a(k) = p as well, then k > p; in fact, k is in A256011.] Two examples: a(2) = a(3) = 5, with 2+3 = 5 and 2*3 = 6 == 1 (mod 5); a(4) = a(13) = 17, with 4+13 = 17 and 4*13 = 52 == 1 (mod 17).
(End)
The conjecture is true. If p is a Pythagorean prime, -1 is a quadratic residue mod p. Then -1 has exactly two square roots mod p, i.e., there are exactly two integers x,y with 1 <= x,y <= p-1 such that x^2 == y^2 == -1 (mod p), i.e., p divides x^2+1 and y^2+1, and moreover y == -x (mod p) so x + y = p, and x*y == -x^2 == 1 (mod p). Any other prime factor q of x^2 + 1 must divide (x^2+1)/p, and since x^2+1 < p^2 we have q < p, so a(x) = p and similarly a(y) = p. - Robert Israel, Jun 11 2015
Conjecture: if n is even and a(n) > n, then n+a(n) is in A256011. Examples: 2+a(2) = 2+5 = 7, 4+a(4) = 4+17 = 21, 6+a(6) = 6+37 = 43, and so on. Note that 18+a(18) is NOT in A256011, but 18 itself is. - Michael Kaltman, Jun 13 2015
This is also true. Suppose A = a(n) > n. n^2+1 is odd so A is an odd prime; n^2 + 1 = A *B with B < A also odd. Then (A+n)^2 + 1 = A*(A+2*n+B) and A+2*n+B is even. The largest prime factor of A+2*n+B is thus at most (A+2*n+B)/2 < A + n, while A < A + n as well. - Robert Israel, Jun 17 2015
Størmer shows that a(n) tends to infinity with n. Chowla shows that a(n) >> log log n.  Schinzel shows that lim inf a(n)/log log n >= 4 and, using lower bounds for linear forms of logarithms, this inequality can be generalized for general quadratic polynomials, with 2 replaced by 4/7 for irreducible ones and 2/7 for reducible ones. - Tomohiro Yamada, Apr 15 2017
According to Hooley, an unpublished manuscript of Chebyshev contains the result that a(n)/n is unbounded which was first published and fully proved by Markov. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 27 2018
Note that a(n) is the largest prime p such that n^(p+1) == -1 (mod p). - Thomas Ordowski, Nov 08 2019

A004171 is a subsequence because phi(2^(2k+1)) = (2^k)^2. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Aug 25 2011
Subsequence of primes is A002496 since in this case phi(k^2+1) = k^2. - Bernard Schott, Mar 06 2023
Products of distinct terms of A002496 form a subsequence. - Chai Wah Wu, Aug 22 2025

John Friedlander and Henryk Iwaniec proved that there are infinitely many such primes.
A256852(A049084(a(n))) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 11 2015
Primes in A111925. - Robert Israel, Oct 02 2015
Its intersection with A185086 is A262340, by the uniqueness part of Fermat's two-squares theorem. - Jonathan Sondow, Oct 05 2015
Cunningham calls these semi-quartan primes. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 21 2017
Primes of the form (x^2 + y^2)/2, where x > y > 0, such that (x-y)/2 or (x+y)/2 is square. - Thomas Ordowski, Dec 04 2017
Named after the Canadian mathematician John Benjamin Friedlander (b. 1941) and the Polish-American mathematician Henryk Iwaniec (b. 1947). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 19 2021
