A087127 This table shows the sobalian coefficients of combinatorial formulae needed for generating the sequential sums of p-th powers of triangular numbers. The p-th row (p>=1) contains a(i,p) for i=1 to 2*p-1, where a(i,p) satisfies Sum_{i=1..n} C(i+1,2)^p = 3 * C(n+2,3) * Sum_{i=1..2*p-1} a(i,p) * C(n-1,i-1)/(i+2). 26

FORMULA

a(1, p) = 1, a(2, p) = 3^(p-1)-1, a(3, p) = 3^(p-1)*[2^(p-1)-2]+1, ..., a(2*p-3, p) = [ (6*p^4-20*p^3+21*p^2-7*p)*(2*p-4)! ]/[3*2^(p-1)], a(2*p-2, p) = [ (p^2-p)*(2*p-3)! ]/2^(p-2), a(2*p-1, p) = [ (p-1)*(2*p-3)! ]/2^(p-2).

a(i, p) = Sum_{k=1..[2*i+1+(-1)^(i-1)]/4} [ C(i-1, 2*k-2)*C(i-2*k+3, i-2*k+1)^(p-1) -C(i-1, 2*k-1)*C(i-2*k+2, i-2*k)^(p-1) ]

EXAMPLE

Row 3 contains 1,8,19,18,6, so Sum_{i=1..n} C(i+1,2)^3 = (n+2) * C(n+1,2) * [ a(1,3)/3 + a(2,3)*C(n-1,1)/4 + a(3,3)*C(n-1,2)/5 + a(4,3)*C(n-1,3)/6 + a(5,3)*C(n-1,4)/7 ] = [ (n+2)*(n+1)*n/2 ] * [ 1/3 + (8/4)*C(n-1,1) + (19/5)*C(n-1,2) + (18/6)*C(n-1,3) + (6/7)*C(n-1,4).
