COMMENTS

The array F(3;n,m) gives in the columns m>=1 the figurate numbers based on A016777, including the pentagonal numbers A000326, (see the W. Lang link).

This is the third member, d=3, in the family of triangles of figurate numbers, called (d,1) Pascal triangles: A007318 (Pascal (d=1), A029653 (d=2).

This is an example of a Riordan triangle (see A053121 for a comment and the 1991 Shapiro et al. reference on the Riordan group) with o.g.f. of column nr. m of the type g(x)*(x*f(x))^m with f(0)=1. Therefore the o.g.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x):=sum(a(n,m)*x^m,m=0..n) is G(z,x)=g(z)/(1-x*z*f(z)). Here: g(x)=(1+2*x)/(1-x), f(x)=1/(1-x), hence G(z,x)=(1+2*z)/(1-(1+x)*z).

The SW-NE diagonals give the Lucas numbers A000032: L(n)= sum( a(n-1-k,k),k=0..ceiling((n-1)/2)), n>=1, with L(0)=2. Observation by Paul Barry, Apr 29 2004. Proof via recursion relations and comparison of inputs.

Triangle T(n,k), read by rows, given by [3,-2,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] DELTA [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938 . [From Philippe DELEHAM, Sep 17 2009]

FORMULA

a(n, m)=F(3;n-m, m) for 0<= m <= n, else 0, with F(3;0, 0)=1, F(3;n, 0)=3 if n>=1 and F(3;n, m):=(3*n+m)*binomial(n+m-1, m-1)/m if m>=1.

G.f. column m (without leading zeros): (1+2*x)/(1-x)^(m+1), m>=0.

Recursion: a(n, m)=0 if m>n, a(0, 0)= 1; a(n, 0)=3 if n>=1; a(n, m)= a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1).

T(n, k) = C(n, k) + 2*C(n-1, k) . - Philippe DELEHAM, Aug 28 2005

Equals M * A007318, where M = an infinite triangular matrix with all 1's in the main diagonal and all 2's in the subdiagonal. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 01 2007
