COMMENTS

Sometimes erroneously called "Lossnitsch's triangle". But the author's name is Losanitsch (I have seen the original paper in Chem. Ber.). This is a German version of the Serbian name Lozanic. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 29 2008

For n >= 3 a(n-3,k) is the number of series-reduced (or homeomorphically irreducible) trees which become a path P(k+1) on k+1 nodes, k >= 0, when all leaves are omitted (see illustration). Proof by Polya's enumeration theorem. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 08 2001

The number of ways to put beads of two colors in a line, but take symmetry into consideration, so that 011 and 110 are considered the same. - Yong Kong (ykong(AT)nus.edu.sg), Jan 04 2005

Alternating row sums are 1,0,1,0,2,0,4,0,8,0,16,0 ... . [From Gerald McGarvey, Oct 20 2008]

The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link Losanitsch’s triangle A034851 with several sequences, see the crossrefs. We observe that the Ze3 and Ze4 sums link Losanitsch’s triangle with A005683, i.e. R. K. Guy’s Twopins game. [Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 14 2011]

FORMULA

G.f. for k-th column (if formatted as lower triangular matrix a(n, k)): x^k*Pe(floor((k+1)/2), x^2)/(((1-x)^(k+1))*(1+x)^(floor((k+1)/2))), where Pe(n, x^2) := sum(A034839(n, m)*x^(2*m), m=0..floor(n/2)) (row polynomials of array Pascal even numbered columns). - Wolfdieter Lang, May 08 2001

a(n, k)=a(n-1, k-1)+a(n-1, k)-C(n/2-1, (k-1)/2), where the last term is present only if n even, k odd.

T(n, k)=T(n-2, k-2)+T(n-2, k)+C(n-2, k-1), n>1.

Let P(n, x, y) = Sum_{m=0..n} a(n, m)*x^m*y^(n-m), then for x>0, y>0 we have P(n, x, y) = (x+y)*P(n-1, x, y) for n odd and P(n, x, y) = (x+y)*P(n-1, x, y) - x*y*(x^2+y^2)^((n-2)/2) for n even. - Gerald McGarvey, Feb 15 2005

Equals=(A051159+A007318)/2. - Yosu Yurramendi (yosu.yurramendi(AT)ehu.es), Aug 07 2008

T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-1,k) - A204293(n-2,k-1), 0 < k <= n and n > 1. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 14 2012]

a034851_row 1 = [1, 1]

a034851_row n = zipWith (-) (zipWith (+) ([0] ++ losa) (losa ++ [0]))

                            ([0] ++ a204293_row (n-2) ++ [0])
