COMMENTS

Square array T(n+k,k) read by antidiagonals: number of stars of length k with n branches.

Row n of T(n+k,k) has g.f. _(floor(n/2)+1)F_(floor(n/2))(1,3/2,5/2,...,(2*floor(n/2)+1)/2;n,n-1,...,n-floor(n/2)+1;2^n*x) (conjecture). [From Paul Barry, Jan 23 2009]

FORMULA

T(n, k) * T(n-2, k-1) - 2 * T(n-1, k-1) * T(n-1, k) + T(n, k-1) * T(n-2, k) = 0.

T(n+k, k) = Prod[1<=i<=j<=k, (n+i+j-1)/(i+j-1) ]. - Ralf Stephan

EXAMPLE

Triangle rows: 1; 1,1; 1,2,1; 1,3,4,1; 1,4,10,8,1; 1,5,20,35,16,1; ...

MATHEMATICA

t[n_, k_] := Product[ (n-k+i+j-1) / (i+j-1), {j, 1, k}, {i, 1, j}]; Flatten[ Table[t[n, k], {n, 0, 10}, {k, 0, n}]] (* Jean-François Alcover, May 23 2012, after PARI *)

PROG

(PARI) {T(n, k) = if( k<0 || k>n, 0, prod( i=1, (k+1)\2, binomial(n + 2*i - 1 - k%2, 4*i - 1 - k%2*2)) / prod( i=0, (k-1)\2, binomial(2*k - 2*i - 1, 2*i)))}

(PARI) {T(n, k) = if( k<0 || n<0, 0, prod( j=1, k, prod( i=1, j, (n - k + i + j - 1) / (i + j - 1) )))} /* Michael Somos, Oct 16 2006 */
