COMMENTS

Row sums are powers of 4 (A000302), antidiagonal sums are A006190 (a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + a(n-2)). - Gerald McGarvey (gerald.mcgarvey(AT)comcast.net), May 17 2005

Triangle of coefficients in expansion of (3+x)^n.

Also: Pure Galton board of scheme (3,1). Also: Multiplicity (number) of pairs of n-dimensional binary vectors with dot product (overlap) k. There are 2^n=A000079(n) binary vectors of length n and 2^(2n)=4^n=A000302(n) different pairs to form dot products k=Sum(i=1..n)v[i]*u[i] between these, 0<=k<=n. (Since dot products are symmetric, there are only 2^n(2^n-1)/2 different non-ordered pairs, actually). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Mar 17 2006

Mirror image of A013610. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 25 2007

T(i,j) is the number of i-permutations of 4 objects a,b,c,d, with repetition allowed, containing j a's. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 21 2007

Anti-diagonals square array give bisection Fibonacci sequence: A001906. Example: 81-(27-1)=55. Differential rule applied to rows give A000079. [From M. Dols (markdols99(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 01 2009]

Triangle T(n,k), read by rows, given by (3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...)DELTA (1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - From DELEHAM Philippe, Oct 09 2011.

T(n,k)=C(n,k)*3^(n-k), the number of subsets of [2n] with exactly k symmetric pairs, where elements i and j of [2n] form a symmetric pair if i+j=2n+1. Equivalently, if n couples attend a (ticketed) event that offers door prizes, then the number of possible prize distributions that have exactly k couples as dual winners is T(n,k). [From Dennis P. Walsh, Feb 02 2012]

FORMULA

Numerators of lower triangle of (b^2)[ i, j ] where b[ i, j ] = binomial(i-1, j-1)/2^(i-1) if j<=i, 0 if j>i.

Triangle whose (i, j)-th entry is binomial(i, j)*3^(i-j).

a(n, m)= 4^(n-1)*sum(b(n, j)*b(j, m), j=m..n)= 3^(n-m)*binomial(n-1, m-1), n >= m >= 1; a(n, m) := 0, n<m. G.f. for m-th column: (x/(1-3*x))^m (m-fold convolution of A000244, powers of 3) - from Wolfdieter Lang (wolfdieter.lang(AT)physik.uni-karlsruhe.de).

G.f.: 1 / [1 - x(3+y)]

a(n,k)=3*a(n-1,k)+a(n-1,k-1) - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Mar 17 2006

From the formalism of A133314, the e.g.f. for the row polynomials of A027465 is exp(x*t)*exp(3x). The e.g.f. for the row polynomials of the inverse matrix is exp(x*t)*exp(-3x). p iterates of the matrix give the matrix with e.g.f. exp(x*t)*exp(p*3x). The results generalize for 3 replaced by any number. [From Tom Copeland (tcjpn(AT)msn.com), Aug 18 2008]

T(n,k)=A164942(n,k)*(-1)^k. - From DELEHAM Philippe, Oct 09 2011.

EXAMPLE

Example: n = 3 offers 2^3 = 8 different binary vectors (0,0,0),(0,0,1),...(1,1,0), (1,1,1). a(3,2) = 9 of the 2^4 = 64 pairs have overlap k = 2: (0,1,1)*(0,1,1) = (1,0,1)*(1,0,1) = (1,1,0)*(1,1,0) = (1,1,1)*(1,1,0) = (1,1,1)*(1,0,1) = (1,1,1)*(0,1,1) = (0,1,1)*(1,1,1) = (1,0,1)*(1,1,1) = (1,1,0)*(1,1,1) = 2

For example, T(2,1)=6 since there are 6 subsets of {1,2,3,4} that have exactly 1 symmetric pair, namely, {1,4}, {2,3}, {1,2,3}, {1,2,4}, {1,3,4}, and {2,3,4}.
