COMMENTS

a(n) = number of different possible sums of c_k * (n choose k) where the c_k are a permutation of 0 through n. - Joshua Zucker (joshua.zucker(AT)stanfordalumni.org), May 08 2006

The ratio of successive terms, a(n)/a(n-1), is quite irregular: 1., 3., 1.67, 4.60, 2.65, 2.34, 1.50, 4.63, 2.49, 2.33, 2.23, 2.27, 2.22, 2.22, 1.10, ... - Alois Heinz, Jan 24 2012.

EXAMPLE

For n = 2 we have three triangles:

..4.......5.......3

.1,3.....2,3.....2,1

0,1,2...0,2,1...2,0,1

with three different values for the apex, so a(2) = 3.

MATHEMATICA
