COMMENTS

This is the fifth member, d=5, in the family of triangles of figurate numbers, called (d,1) Pascal triangles: A007318 (Pascal), A029653, A093560-1, for d=1,..,4.

This is an example of a Riordan triangle (see A093560 for a comment and A053121 for a comment and the 1991 Shapiro et al. reference on the Riordan group). 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)=(1+4*z)/(1-(1+x)*z).

The SW-NE diagonals give A022095(n-1) = sum( a(n-1-k,k),k=0..ceiling((n-1)/2)), n>=1, with n=0 value 4. Observation by Paul Barry, Apr 29 2004. Proof via recursion relations and comparison of inputs.

The array F(5;n,m) gives in the columns m>=1 the figurate numbers based on A016861, including the heptagonal numbers A000566, (see the W. Lang link).

FORMULA

a(n, m)=F(5;n-m, m) for 0<= m <= n, else 0, with F(5;0, 0)=1, F(5;n, 0)=5 if n>=1 and F(5;n, m):=(5*n+m)*binomial(n+m-1, m-1)/m if m>=1.

G.f. column m (without leading zeros): (1+4*x)/(1-x)^(m+1), m>=0.

Recursion: a(n, m)=0 if m>n, a(0, 0)= 1; a(n, 0)=5 if n>=1; a(n, m)= a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1).
