Rows are of lengths 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ... (A008619).

This triangle is generated from A118800 by shifting down columns to allow for (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ...) terms in each row. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 16 2007

Unsigned triangle = A034839 * A007318. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 28 2008

Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (0, -1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 16 2011

From Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 02 2014: (Start)

This irregular triangle is the row reversed version of the Chebyshev T-triangle A053120 given by A039991 with vanishing odd-indexed columns removed.

If zeros are appended in each row n >= 1, in order to obtain a regular triangle (see the Philippe Deléham comment, g.f. and example) this becomes the Riordan triangle (1-x)/(1-2*x), -x^2/(1-2*x). See also the unsigned version A201701 of this regular triangle.

Apparently, unsigned diagonals of this array are rows of A200139. - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2014

It appears that the coefficients are generated by the following: Let SM_k = Sum( d_(t_1, t_2)* eM_1^t_1 * eM_2^t_2) summed over all length 2 integer partitions of k, i.e., 1*t_1 + 2*t_2 = k, where SM_k are the averaged k-th power sum symmetric polynomials in 2 data (i.e., SM_k = S_k/2 where S_k are the k-th power sum symmetric polynomials, and where eM_k are the averaged k-th elementary symmetric polynomials, eM_k = e_k/binomial(2,k) with e_k being the k-th elementary symmetric polynomials. The data d_(t_1, t_2) form an irregular triangle, with one row for each k value starting with k=1. Thus this procedure and associated OEIS sequences A287768, A288199, A288207, A288211, A288245, A288188 are generalizations of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. - Gregory Gerard Wojnar, Jul 01 2017

Also triangle of numbers of n-sequences of 0,1 with k subsequences of consecutive 01 because this number is C(n+1,2*k+1). - Roger Cuculiere (cuculier(AT)imaginet.fr), Nov 16 2002

From Gary W. Adamson, Oct 17 2008: (Start)

Received from Herb Conn:

Let T = tan x, then

tan x = T

tan 2x = 2T / (1 - T^2)

tan 3x = (3T - T^3) / (1 - 3T^2)

tan 4x = (4T - 4T^3) / (1 - 6T^2 + T^4)

tan 5x = (5T - 10T^3 + T^5) / (1 - 10T^2 + 5T^4)

tan 6x = (6T - 20T^3 + 6T^5) / (1 - 15T^2 + 15T^4 - T^6)

tan 7x = (7T - 35T^3 + 21T^5 - T^7) / (1 - 21T^2 + 35T^4 - 7T^6)

tan 8x = (8T - 56T^3 + 56T^5 - 8T^7) / (1 - 28T^2 + 70T^4 - 28T^6 + T^8)

tan 9x = (9T - 84T^3 + 126T^5 - 36T^7 + T^9) / (1 - 36 T^2 + 126T^4 - 84T^6 + 9T^8)

... To get the next one in the series, (tan 10x), for the numerator add:

9....84....126....36....1 previous numerator +

1....36....126....84....9 previous denominator =

10..120....252...120...10 = new numerator

For the denominator add:

......9.....84...126...36...1 = previous numerator +

1....36....126....84....9.... = previous denominator =

1....45....210...210...45...1 = new denominator

...where numerators = A034867, denominators = A034839

Column k is the sum of columns 2k and 2k+1 of A007318. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 12 2008

Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (2, -1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (0, 1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 12 2011

The row polynomials N(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/2)} T(n-1,k)*x^k, and D(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} A034839(n,k)*x^k, n >= 1, satisfy the recurrences N(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + N(n-1,x), D(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + x*N(n-1,x), with inputs N(1,x) = 1 = D(1,x). This is due to the Pascal triangle A007318 recurrence. Q(n,x) := tan(n*x)/tan(x) satisfies the recurrence Q(n,x) = (1 + Q(n-1,x))/(1 - v(x)*Q(n-1,x)) with input Q(1,x) = 1 and v = v(x) := (tan(x))^2. This recurrence is obtained from the addition theorem for tan(n*x) using n = 1 + (n-1). Therefore Q(n,x) = N(n,-v(x))/D(n,-v(x)). This proves the Gary W. Adamson contribution from above. See also A220673. This calculation was motivated by an e-mail of Thomas Olsen. The Oliver/Prodinger and Ma references resort to HAKEM Al Memo 239, Item 16, for the tan(n*x) formula in terms of tan(x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 17 2013

The infinitesimal generator (infinigen) for the Narayana polynomials A090181/A001263 can be formed from the row polynomials P(n,y) of this entry. The resulting matrix is an instance of a matrix representation of the analytic infinigens presented in A145271 for general sets of binomial Sheffer polynomials and in A001263 and A119900 specifically for the Narayana polynomials. Given the column vector of row polynomials V = (1, P(1,x) = 2x, P(2,y) = 3x + x^2, P(3,y) = 4x + 4x^2, ...), form the lower triangular matrix M(n,k) = V(n-k,n-k), i.e., diagonally multiply the matrix with all ones on the diagonal and below by the components of V. Form the matrix MD by multiplying A132440^Transpose = A218272 = D (representing derivation of o.g.f.s) by M, i.e., MD = M*D. The non-vanishing component of the first row of (MD)^n * V / (n+1)! is the n-th Narayana polynomial. - Tom Copeland, Dec 09 2015

The diagonals of this entry are A078812 (also shifted A128908 and unsigned A053122, which are embedded in A030528, A102426, A098925, A109466, A092865). Equivalently, the antidiagonals of A078812 are the rows of A034867. - Tom Copeland, Dec 12 2015

The row polynomial P(n, x) = Sum_{0..floor(n/2)} T(n, k)*x^k appears as numerator polynomial of the diagonal sequence m of triangle A104698 as follows. G(m, x) = P(m, x^2)/(1 - x)^(m+1), for m >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 14 2025

The modified Hermite polynomial h(n,x) (as in the Formula section) is the numerator of the rational function given by f(n,x) = x + (n-2)/f(n-1,x), where f(x,0) = 1. - Clark Kimberling, Oct 20 2014

Second lower diagonal T(n,n-2) equals positive triangular numbers A000217 \ {0}. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 23 2014

From James East, Aug 17 2015: (Start)

T(n,k) is the number of R-classes (equivalently, L-classes) in the D-class consisting of all rank k elements of the Brauer monoid of degree n.

For n < k with n == k (mod 2), T(n,k) is the rank (minimal size of a generating set) and idempotent rank (minimal size of an idempotent generating set) of the ideal consisting of all rank <= k elements of the Brauer monoid. (End)

This array provides the coefficients of a Laplace-dual sequence H(n,x) of the Dirac delta function, delta(x), and its derivatives, formed by taking the inverse Laplace transform of these modified Hermite polynomials. H(n,x) = h(n,D) delta(x) with h(n,x) as in the examples and the lowering and raising operators L = -x and R = -x + D = -x + d/dx such that L H(n,x) = n * H(n-1,x) and R H(n,x) = H(n+1,x). The e.g.f. is exp[t H(.,x)] = e^(t^2/2) e^(t D) delta(x) = e^(t^2/2) delta(x+t). - Tom Copeland, Oct 02 2016

Antidiagonals of this entry are rows of A001497. - Tom Copeland, Oct 04 2016

This triangle is the reverse of that in Table 2 on p. 7 of the Artioli et al. paper and Table 6.2 on p. 234 of Licciardi's thesis, with associations to the telephone numbers. - Tom Copeland, Jun 18 2018 and Jul 08 2018

Equals X^n * [1,0,0,0,...] where X = an infinite tridiagonal matrix with (1,1,1,...) in the main and subsubdiagonal and (2,2,2,...) in the main diagonal. X also = a triangular matrix with (1,2,1,0,0,0,...) in each column. - Gary W. Adamson, May 26 2008

a(n,m) has the following interesting combinatoric interpretation. Let s(n,m) equal the set of all base-4, n-digit numbers with n-m more 1-digits than 2-digits. For example s(2,1) = {10,01,13,31} (note that numbers like 1 are left-padded with 0's to ensure that they have 2 digits). Notice that #s(2,1) = a(2,1) with # indicating cardinality. This is true in general. a(n,m)=#s(n,m). In words, a(n,m) gives the number of n-digit, base-4 numbers with n-m more 1 digits than 2 digits. A proof is provided in the Links section. - Russell Jay Hendel, Jun 23 2015

Sum of terms in row n is 2^n (A000079). Sum of terms in column k is A001906(k+1) (the even-indexed Fibonacci numbers). Row n contains 1+floor(n/2) nonzero terms. Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = (3n+1)*2^(n-2) = A066373(n+1) for n>=1.

This is the number of subsets of {1..n} with all equal lengths of runs of consecutive elements increasing by 1. For example, the runs of S = {1,2,5,6,8,9} are ((1,2),(5,6),(8,9)), with lengths (2,2,2), so S is counted under a(9). The a(0) = 1 through a(4) = 14 subsets are:

Also appears to be the number of subsets of {1..n} containing n with k maximal anti-runs of consecutive elements increasing by more than 1. For example, the subset {1,3,6,7,11,12} has maximal anti-runs ((1,3,6),(7,11),(12)) so is counted under a(12,3). For runs instead of anti-runs we get A202064. - Gus Wiseman, Jun 26 2025
