COMMENTS

This sequence provides the general solution to the recurrence a(n)=a(n-1)+k(k+1)a(n-2), a(0)=a(1)=1. The solution is (1,1,k^2+k+1,2k^2+2k+1, .....) whose coefficients can be read from the rows of the triangle. The row sums of the triangle are given by the case k=1. These are the Jacobsthal numbers, A001045. Viewed as a square array, its first row is (1,0,1,0,1,...) with E.g.f. cosh(x), G.f. 1/(1-x^2) and subsequent rows are successive partial sums given by 1/((1-x)^n)(1-x^2)). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 17 2003

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(1-x-x*y-y^2)

As a square array read by antidiagonals, this is T(n, k)=sum{i=0..n, (-1)^(n-i)C(i+k, k)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 01 2003

T(2*n,n)=A026641(n) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 08 2007
