COMMENTS

Starting with "1" = eigensequence of a triangle with bin(n,4), A000332 as the left border: (1, 5, 15, 35, 70,...) and the rest 1's. [Gary W. Adamson, Jul 24 2010]

The Kn25 sums, see A180662, of triangle A065941 equal the terms (doubled) of this sequence minus the four leading zeros. [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 14 2011]
