In the Formula section, some contributors use T(n,k) = D(n-k, k) (for 0 <= k <= n), which is the triangular version of the square array (D(n,k): n,k >= 0). Conversely, D(n,k) = T(n+k,k) for n,k >= 0. - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020
Also called the tribonacci triangle [Alladi and Hoggatt (1977)]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 23 2014
D(n,k) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) using steps (1,0), (0,1), (1,1). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011 [Corrected by N. J. A. Sloane, May 30 2020]
Or, triangle read by rows of coefficients of polynomials P[n](x) defined by P[0] = 1, P[1] = x+1; for n >= 2, P[n] = (x+1)*P[n-1] + x*P[n-2].
D(n, k) is the number of k-matchings of a comb-like graph with n+k teeth. Example: D(1, 3) = 7 because the graph consisting of a horizontal path ABCD and the teeth Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd has seven 3-matchings: four triples of three teeth and the three triples {Aa, Bb, CD}, {Aa, Dd, BC}, {Cc, Dd, AB}. Also D(3, 1)=7, the 1-matchings of the same graph being the seven edges: {AB}, {BC}, {CD}, {Aa}, {Bb}, {Cc}, {Dd}. - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 01 2002
Sum of n-th antidiagonal of the array D is A000129(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 03 2004 [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020 so that the counting of antidiagonals of D starts at n = 0. That is, the sum of the terms in the n-th row of the triangles T is A000129(n+1).]
The A-sequence for this Riordan type triangle (see one of Paul Barry's comments under Formula) is A112478 and the Z-sequence the trivial: {1, 0, 0, 0, ...}. See the W. Lang link under A006232 for Sheffer a- and z-sequences where also Riordan A- and Z-sequences are explained. This leads to the recurrence for the triangle given below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 21 2008
The triangle or chess sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link the Delannoy numbers with twelve different sequences, see the crossrefs. All sums come in pairs due to the symmetrical nature of this triangle. The knight sums Kn14 and Kn15 have been added. It is remarkable that all knight sums are related to the tribonacci numbers, that is, A000073 and A001590, but none of the others. - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010
This sequence, A008288, is jointly generated with A035607 as an array of coefficients of polynomials u(n,x): initially, u(1,x) = v(1,x) = 1; for n > 1, u(n,x) = x*u(n-1,x) + v(n-1) and v(n,x) = 2*x*u(n-1,x) + v(n-1,x). See the Mathematica section. - Clark Kimberling, Mar 09 2012
Row n, for n > 0, of Roger L. Bagula's triangle in the Example section shows the coefficients of the polynomial u(n) = c(0) + c(1)*x + ... + c(n)*x^n which is the numerator of the n-th convergent of the continued fraction [k, k, k, ...], where k = sqrt(x) + 1/sqrt(x); see A230000. - Clark Kimberling, Nov 13 2013
In an n-dimensional hypercube lattice, D(n,k) gives the number of nodes situated at a Minkowski (Manhattan) distance of k from a given node. In cellular automata theory, the cells at Manhattan distance k are called the von Neumann neighborhood of radius k. For k=1, see A005843. - Dmitry Zaitsev, Dec 10 2015
These numbers appear as the coefficients of series relating spherical and bispherical harmonics, in the solutions of Laplace's equation in 3D. [Majic 2019, Eq. 22] - Matt Majic, Nov 24 2019
From Peter Bala, Feb 19 2020: (Start)
The following remarks assume an offset of 1 in the row and column indices of the triangle.
The sequence of row polynomials T(n,x), beginning with T(1,x) = x, T(2,x) = x + x^2, T(3,x) = x + 3*x^2 + x^3, ..., is a strong divisibility sequence of polynomials in the ring Z[x]; that is, for all positive integers n and m, poly_gcd(T(n,x), T(m,x)) = T(gcd(n, m), x) - apply Norfleet (2005), Theorem 3. Consequently, the sequence (T(n,x): n >= 1) is a divisibility sequence in the polynomial ring Z[x]; that is, if n divides m then T(n,x) divides T(m,x) in Z[x].
Let S(x) = 1 + 2*x + 6*x^2 + 22*x^3 + ... denote the o.g.f. for the large Schröder numbers A006318. The power series (x*S(x))^n, n = 2, 3, 4, ..., can be expressed as a linear combination with polynomial coefficients of S(x) and 1: (x*S(x))^n = T(n-1,-x) - T(n,-x)*S(x). The result can be extended to negative integer n if we define T(0,x) = 0 and T(-n,x) = (-1)^(n+1) * T(n,x)/x^n. Cf. A115139.
[In the previous two paragraphs, D(n,x) was replaced with T(n,x) because the contributor is referring to the rows of the triangle T(n,k), not the rows of the array D(n,k). - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020] (End)
Named after the French amateur mathematician Henri-Auguste Delannoy (1833-1915). - Amiram Eldar, Apr 15 2021
D(i,j) = D(j,i). With this and Dmitry Zaitsev's Dec 10 2015 comment, D(i,j) can be considered the number of points at L1 distance <= i in Z^j or the number of points at L1 distance <= j in Z^i from any given point. The rows and columns of D(i,j) are the crystal ball sequences on cubic lattices. See the first example below. The n-th term in the k-th crystal ball sequence can be considered the number of points at distance <= n from any point in a k-dimensional cubic lattice, or the number of points at distance <= k from any point in an n-dimensional cubic lattice. - Shel Kaphan, Jan 01 2023 and Jan 07 2023
Dimensions of hom spaces Hom(R^{(i)}, R^{(j)}) in the Delannoy category attached to the oligomorphic group of order preserving self-bijections of the real line. - Noah Snyder, Mar 22 2023

  ...
For D(2,5) = 61, which is seen above in the row labeled A001844, we calculate the sum (9 + 11 + 41) of the 3 nearest terms above and/or to the left. - _Peter Munn_, Jan 01 2023
D(2,5) = 61 can also be obtained from the row labeled A005408 using a recurrence mentioned in the formula section:  D(2,5) = D(1,5) + 2*Sum_{k=0..4} D(1,k), so D(2,5) = 11 + 2*(1+3+5+7+9) = 11 + 2*25. - _Shel Kaphan_, Jan 01 2023

D(n, k) = Sum_{d = 0..min(n,k)} binomial(k, d)*binomial(n+k-d, k) = Sum_{d=0..min(n,k)} 2^d*binomial(n, d)*binomial(k, d). [Edited by Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020]

Read as a number triangle, this is the Riordan array (1/(1-x), x(1+x)/(1-x)) with T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n-k} C(n-k, j) * C(k, j) * 2^j. - Paul Barry, Jul 18 2005

Let y^k(n) be the number of Khalimsky-continuous functions f from [0,n-1] to Z such that f(0) = 0 and f(n-1) = k. Then y^k(n) = D(i,j) for i = (1/2)*(n-1-k) and j = (1/2)*(n-1+k) where n-1+k belongs to 2Z. - Shiva Samieinia (shiva(AT)math.su.se), Oct 08 2007

From Peter Bala, Jul 17 2008: (Start)
The n-th row of the square array is the crystal ball sequence for the product lattice A_1 x ... x A_1 (n copies). A035607 is the table of the associated coordination sequences for these lattices.
The polynomial p_n(x) := Sum {k = 0..n} 2^k * C(n,k) * C(x,k) = Sum_{k = 0..n} C(n,k) * C(x+k,n), whose values [p_n(0), p_n(1), p_n(2), ... ] give the n-th row of the square array, is the Ehrhart polynomial of the n-dimensional cross polytope (the hyperoctahedron) [Bump et al. (2000), Theorem 6].
The first few values are p_0(x) = 1, p_1(x) = 2*x + 1, p_2(x) = 2*x^2 + 2*x + 1 and p_3(x) = (4*x^3 + 6*x^2 + 8*x + 3)/3.
The reciprocity law p_n(m) = p_m(n) reflects the symmetry of the table.
The polynomial p_n(x) is the unique polynomial solution of the difference equation (x+1)*f(x+1) - x*f(x-1) = (2*n+1)*f(x), normalized so that f(0) = 1.
These polynomials have their zeros on the vertical line Re x = -1/2 in the complex plane; that is, the polynomials p_n(x-1), n = 1,2,3,..., satisfy a Riemann hypothesis [Bump et al. (2000), Theorem 4]. The o.g.f. for the p_n(x) is (1 + t)^x/(1 - t)^(x + 1) = 1 + (2*x + 1)*t + (2*x^2 + 2*x + 1)*t^2 + ... .
The square array of Delannoy numbers has a close connection with the constant log(2). The entries in the n-th row of the array occur in the series acceleration formula log(2) = (1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - ... + (-1)^(n+1)/n) + (-1)^n * Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)/(k*D(n,k-1)*D(n,k)). [T(n,k) was replaced with D(n,k) in the formula to agree with the beginning of the paragraph. - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020]
For example, the fourth row of the table (n = 3) gives the series log(2) = 1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/(1*1*7) + 1/(2*7*25) - 1/(3*25*63) + 1/(4*63*129) - ... . See A142979 for further details.
Also the main diagonal entries (the central Delannoy numbers) give the series acceleration formula Sum_{n>=1} 1/(n*D(n-1,n-1)*D(n,n)) = (1/2)*log(2), a result due to Burnside. [T(n,n) was replaced here with D(n,n) to agree with the previous paragraphs. - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 05 2020]
Similar relations hold between log(2) and the crystal ball sequences of the C_n lattices A142992. For corresponding results for the constants zeta(2) and zeta(3), involving the crystal ball sequences for root lattices of type A_n and A_n x A_n, see A108625 and A143007 respectively. (End)

Hilbert transform of Pascal's triangle A007318 (see A145905 for the definition of this term).
D(n+a,n) = P_n(a,0;3) for all integer a such that a >= -n, where P_n(a,0;x) is the Jacobi polynomial with parameters (a,0) [Hetyei]. The related formula A(n,k) = P_k(0,n-k;3) defines the table of asymmetric Delannoy numbers, essentially A049600. (End)
Seen as a triangle read by rows: T(n, k) = Hyper2F1([k-n, -k], [1], 2). - Peter Luschny, Aug 02 2014, Oct 13 2024.
From Peter Bala, Jun 25 2015: (Start)
O.g.f. for triangle T(n,k): A(z,t) = 1/(1 - (1 + t)*z - t*z^2) = 1 + (1 + t)*z + (1 + 3*t + t^2)*z^2 + (1 + 5*t + 5*t^2 + t^3)*z^3 + ....
1 + z*d/dz(A(z,t))/A(z,t) is the o.g.f. for A102413. (End)
E.g.f. for the n-th subdiagonal of T(n,k), n >= 0, equals exp(x)*P(n,x), where P(n,x) is the polynomial Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*(2*x)^k/k!. For example, the e.g.f. for the second subdiagonal is exp(x)*(1 + 4*x + 4*x^2/2) = 1 + 5*x + 13*x^2/2! + 25*x^3/3! + 41*x^4/4! + 61*x^5/5! + .... - Peter Bala, Mar 05 2017 [The n-th subdiagonal of triangle T(n,k) is the n-th row of array D(n,k).]
Let a_i(n) be multiplicative with a_i(p^e) = D(i, e), p prime and e >= 0, then Sum_{n > 0} a_i(n)/n^s = (zeta(s))^(2*i+1)/(zeta(2*s))^i for i >= 0. - Werner Schulte, Feb 14 2018
Seen as a triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..k} binomial(n-i, i) * binomial(n-2*i, k-i) for 0 <= k <= n. - Werner Schulte, Jan 09 2019
Univariate generating function: Sum_{k >= 0} D(n,k)*z^k = (1 + z)^n/(1 - z)^(n+1). [Dziemianczuk (2013), Eq. 5.3] - Matt Majic, Nov 24 2019
(n+1)*D(n+1,k) = (2*k+1)*D(n,k) + n*D(n-1,k). [Majic (2019), Eq. 22] - Matt Majic, Nov 24 2019
For i, j >= 1, D(i,j) = D(i,j-1) + 2*Sum_{k=0..i-1} D(k,j-1), or, because D(i,j) = D(j,i), D(i,j) = D(i-1,j) + 2*Sum_{k=0..j-1} D(i-1,k). - Shel Kaphan, Jan 01 2023
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)^2 = A026933(n). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 07 2023
Let S(x) = (1 - x - (1 - 6*x + x^2)^(1/2))/(2*x) denote the g.f. of the sequence of large Schröder numbers A006318. Read as a lower triangular array, the signed n-th row polynomial R(n, -x) = 1/sqrt(1 - 6*x + x^2) *( 1/S(x)^(n+1) + (x*S(x))^(n+1) ). For example, R(4, -x) = 1 - 7*x + 13*x^2 - 7*x^3 + x^4 = 1/sqrt(1 - 6*x + x^2) * ( 1/S(x)^5 + (x*S(x))^5 ). Cf. A102413. - Peter Bala, Aug 01 2024

a(n) is not divisible by primes listed in A038890. The prime factors are given in A038889 and the prime terms of the sequence are listed in A124199.
Each odd prime factor p divides exactly 2 out of any p consecutive terms with the exception of 17, which appears only once in such an interval of terms. If a(i) and a(k) form such a pair that are divisible by p, then i + k == -3 (mod p), see examples.

Assuming a(i) is divisible by p with 0 < i < p and a(k) is the next term divisible by p, then from i + k == -3 (mod p) follows that k = min(p*m - i - 3) != i for any integer m.
(1) 17|a(7) => k = min(17*m - 10) != 7 => m = 2, k = 24 == 7 (mod 17). Thus every a(17*m + 7) is divisible by 17.
(2) a(9) = 53 => k = min(53*m - 12) != 9 => m = 1, k = 41. Thus every a(53*m + 9) and a(53*m + 41) is divisible by 53.
(3) 101|a(273) => 229 == 71 (mod 101) => k = min(101*m - 74) != 71 => m = 1, k = 27. Thus every a(101*m + 27) and a(101*m + 71) is divisible by 101. (End)

a(n) is the number of order-preserving partial self maps of {1,...,n}. For example, a(2) = 8 because there are 8 order-preserving partial self maps of {1,2}: (1 2), (1 1), (2 2), (1 -), (2 -), (- 1), (- 2), (- -).

For fixed m = 1,2,3,..., we conjecture that the sequence b(n) := a(m*n) satisfies a recurrence of the form P(2*m,n)*b(n+1) + P(2*m,-n)*b(n-1) = Q(2*m,n)*b(n), where the polynomials P(2*m,n) and Q(2*m,n) have degree 2*m. Conjecturally, the polynomial Q(2*m,n) is an even function of n; its 2*m zeros seem to belong to the interval [-1, 1] and 2*m - 2 of these zeros appear to lie close to the rational numbers of the form +-(2*k + 1)/(2*m), where 0 <= k <= m - 2. Cf. A103885. (End)
a(n), n>0, is the number of points at L1 distance = n from any given point in Z^n. The sequence is also the difference between the central diagonal (A001850) and +-1 diagonal (A002002) of the Delannoy number triangle (A008288). - Shel Kaphan, Feb 15 2023

The n-th row entries for this array are the regular polytope numbers for the n-dimensional cross polytope as defined by [Kim]. The rows are the partial sums of the rows of the square array of Delannoy numbers A008288.
The odd numbered rows of this array form A142977. For a triangular version of this table see A104698. Cf. also A101603.
The n-th row of the array is the binomial transform of n-th row of triangle A081277, followed by zeros. Example: row 4 (1, 6, 19, 44, 85, ...) = binomial transform of row 3 of A081277: (1, 5, 8, 4, 0, 0, 0, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 17 2008
The main diagonal of the array T(n,k) is A047781 Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(n-1,k)*binomial(n+k,k). Also a(n) = T(n,n), array T as in A049600. The link from A099193 to J. V.

Formula

T(n,k) = Sum_{i = 0..n-1} C(n-1,i)*C(k+i,n).
Reciprocity law: n*T(n,k) = k*T(k,n).
Recurrence relation: T(n,1) = 1, T(1,k) = k, T(n,k) = T(n,k-1) + T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-1,k), n,k > 1.
O.g.f. row n: x*(1 + x)^(n-1)/(1 - x)^(n+1).
O.g.f. for array: Sum_{n >= 1, k >= 1} T(n, k)*x^k*y^n = x*y/((1 - x)*(1 - x - y - x*y)).
The n-th row entries are the values [p_n(k)], k >= 1, of the polynomial function p_n(x) = Sum_{k = 1..n} 2^(k-1)*C(n-1,k-1)*C(x,k). The first few values are p_1(x) = x, p_2(x) = x^2, p_3(x) = (2*x^3 + x)/3 and p_4(x) = (x^4 + 2*x^2)/3.
The polynomial p_n(x) is the unique polynomial solution of the difference equation x*( f(x+1) - f(x-1) ) = 2*n*f(x), normalized so that f(1) = 1.
The o.g.f. for the p_n(x) is 1/2*((1 + t)/(1 - t))^x = 1/2 + x*t + x^2*t^2 + (2*x^3 + x)/3*t^3 + .... Thus p_n(x) is, apart from a constant factor, the Meixner polynomial of the first kind M_n(x;b,c) at b = 0, c = -1, also known as a Mittag-Leffler polynomial.
The entries in the n-th row appear in the series acceleration formula for the constant log(2): Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)/(T(n,k)*T(n,k+1)) = 1 + (-1)^(n+1) * (2*n)*(log(2) - (1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - ... + (-1)^(n+1)/n)). For example, n = 3 gives log(2) = 4/6 + (1/6)*(1/(1*6) - 1/(6*19) + 1/(19*44) - 1/(44*85) + ...). See A142983 for further details.

The odd-indexed columns of this array form the array A142992 of crystal ball sequences for lattices of type C_n.
Conjectural congruences for main diagonal entries: Put A(n) = T(n,n). Calculation suggests the following congruences: for prime p > 3 and m, r >= 1, A(m*p^r) == A(m*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r));
Sum_{k = 0..p-1} A(k)^2 == 0 (mod p) if p is a prime of the form 8*n+1 or 8*n+7;
Sum_{k = 0..p-1} A(k)^2 == -1 (mod p) if p is a prime of the form 8*n+3 or 8*n+5.

We may also relabel the entries as U(0,0), U(1,0), U(0,1), U(2,0), U(1,1), U(0,2), U(3,0), ... [That is, T(n,k) = U(n-k, k) for 0 <= k <= n and U(m,s) = T(m+s, s) for m,s >= 0.]

T(n-k,0) * |

* T(n,k)
The definition implies that T(n,k) is the sum of all T(i,j) such that (i,j) has integer coordinates over the set
{(i,j): a(1,0) + b(1,1), 0 <= a <= n-k, 0 <= b <= k} - {(n,k)}.
The parallelogram can sometimes be degenerate; e.g., when k = 0 or n = k. (End)
T(n,k) is the number of 2-compositions of n having sum of the entries of the first row equal to k (0 <= k <= n). A 2-composition of n is a nonnegative matrix with two rows, such that each column has at least one nonzero entry and whose entries sum up to n. - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 12 2010
From Michel Marcus and Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 16 2020: (Start)
Robeva and Sun (2020) let A(m,n) = U(m-1, n-1) be the number of subdivisions of a 2-row grid with m points on the top and n points at the bottom (and such that the lower left point is the origin).
The authors proved that A(m,n) = 2*(A(m,n-1) + A(m-1,n) - A(m-1,n-1)) for m, n >= 2 (with (m,n) <> (2,2)), which is equivalent to a similar recurrence for U(n,k) given in the Formula section below. (They did not explicitly specify the value of A(1,1) = U(0,0) because they did not care about the number of subdivisions of a degenerate polygon with only one side.)
They also proved that, for (m,n) <> (1,1), A(m,n) = (2^(m-2)/(n-1)!) * Q_n(m) =
= (2^(m-2)/(n-1)!) * Sum_{k=1..n} A336244(n,k) * m^(n-k), where Q_n(m) is a polynomial in m of degree n-1. (End)
With the square array notation of Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 16 2020 below, U(i,j) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (i,j) whose steps move north or east or have positive slope. For example, representing a path by its successive lattice points rather than its steps, U(1,2) = 8 counts {(0,0),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,1),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,2),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(1,0),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(1,1),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2)}, {(0,0),(1,0),(1,1),(1,2)}. If north (vertical) steps are excluded, the resulting paths are counted by A049600. - David Callan, Nov 25 2021

Formula

T(n, n-1) = A001792(n-1).
T(2*n, n) = A052141(n).
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k) = A003480(n).
G.f.: U(z, w) = Sum_{n >= 0, k >= 0} U(n, k)*z^n*w^k = Sum{n >= 0, k >= 0} T(n, k)*z^(n-k)*w^k = (1-z)*(1-w)/(1 - 2*w - 2*z + 2*z*w).
Maple code gives another explicit formula for U(n, k).
From Jon Stadler (jstadler(AT)capital.edu), Apr 30 2003: (Start)
U(n,k) is the number of ways of writing the vector (n,k) as an ordered sum of vectors, equivalently, the number of paths from (0,0) to (n,k) in which steps may be taken from (i,j) to (p,q) provided (p,q) is to the right or above (i,j).
2*U(n,k) = Sum_{i <= n, j <= k} U(i,j).
U(n,k) = 2*U(n-1,k) + Sum_{i < k} U(n,i).
U(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n+k} C(n,j-k+1)*C(k,j-n+1)*2^j. (End)
T(n, k) = 2*(T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-1, k)) - (2 - 0^(n-2))*T(n-2, k-1) for n > 1 and 1 < k < n; T(n, 0) = T(n, n) = 2*T(n-1, 0) for n > 0; and T(0, 0) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 03 2004

Comments

In the language of the Shapiro et al. reference (given in A053121) such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as matrix, belongs to the Riordan-group. The G.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x) (increasing powers of x) is (((1-z)^3)/(1-2*z)^4)/(1-x*z/(1-z)).
This is the fourth member of the family of Riordan-type matrices obtained from A007318(n,m) (Pascal's triangle read as lower triangular matrix) by repeated application of the prs-procedure.
The column sequences appear as A049612(n+1), A055585, A001794, A001789(n+3), A027608, A055586 for m=0..5.
