COMMENTS

Row n has ceil(n/2) terms.

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 26 2009: (Start)

Sum of entries in row n is n! = A000142(n).

T(n,0)=2^(n-1)=A000079(n-1).

T(n,1)=A000431(n).

T(n,2)=A000487(n).

T(n,3)=A000517(n).

T(2n,n-1)=T(2n+1,n)=A000182(n+1) (the tangent numbers).

Sum(k*T(n,k), k>=0)=n!(n-2)/3=A090672(n-1).

FORMULA

E.g.f.: G(t,z)=[exp(bz)-exp(az)]/[b*exp(az)-a*exp(bz)], where a+b=2 and ab=t, i.e. a=1+sqrt(1-t), b=1-sqrt(1-t) (see the Goulden-Jackson reference). [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 26 2009]

E.g.f: tan(t*sqrt(x-1))/(sqrt(x-1)-tan(t*sqrt(x-1))) = sum {n>=0} P(n,x)*t^n/n! = t + 2*t^2/2! + (4+2*x)*t^3/3! + (8+16*x)*t^4/4! + .... The row generating polynomials P(n,x) satisfy x^(n-1)*P(n,1+1/x^2) = R(n-1,x), where R(n,x) are the row polynomials of A185896. A000670(n) = (3/2)^(n-1)*P(n,8/9) - Peter Bala, Oct 14 2011

EXAMPLE

Comment from Luc Roy, Jul 08 2010: (Start)

It appears that one-half of the sequence A008303 can be obtained with this mathematica program:

(end)

MAPLE

Comment from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 26 2009: The Maple program yields (by straightforward counting) the generating polynomial of the row n specified in the program.

n := 8: with(combinat): P := permute(n): st := proc (p) local ct, j: ct := 0: for j from 2 to nops(p)-1 do if p[j-1] < p[j] and p[j+1] < p[j] then ct := ct+1 else end if end do: ct end proc: sort(add(t^st(P[j]), j = 1 .. factorial(n))); [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 26 2009]

a := 1+sqrt(1-t): b := 1-sqrt(1-t): G := (exp(b*z)-exp(a*z))/(b*exp(a*z)-a*exp(b*z)): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 15)): for n to 12 do P[n] := sort(expand(factorial(n)*coeff(Gser, z, n))) end do: for n to 12 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j = 0 .. ceil((1/2)*n)-1) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 26 2009]

MATHEMATICA

m = 14; a = 1 + Sqrt[1 - t]; b = 1 - Sqrt[1 - t];

g[z_] = (E^(b*z) - E^(a*z))/(b*E^(a*z) - a*E^(b*z));

gser = Series[g[z], {z, 0, m}];

Do[p[n]=n!*Coefficient[gser, z, n]//Simplify, {n, 0, m}];

Flatten[ Table[ Coefficient[p[n], t, j], {n, 0, m}, {j, 0, Ceiling[n/2] - 1}]]
