COMMENTS

Sum in n-th row is (n+1)^3. The n-th row includes 3n+1 entries. Largest coefficients in rows are listed in A077043. The 255-th row describes distribution of color lattice points in the 765 r+g+b=k planes of 24 bitRGB-cube with 256^3 points.

The number of cubes 1 X 1 X 1 used to build a cube by layers perpendicular to the great diagonal. Each layer is made of regular triangular numbers T near the summits and truncated T's in the middle. E.g. cube 3^3 is made of layers 1, 3, 6, 7, 6, 3, 1, using T1, T2, T3 and a regularly truncated T4, 7 instead of 10. - M. Dauchez (mdzzdm(AT)yahoo.fr), Aug 31 2005

EXAMPLE

The 0-th to 3rd rows are

1;

1, 3, 3, 1;

1, 3, 6, 7, 6, 3, 1;

1,3,6,10,12,12,10,6,3,1;

The 5th row is: {1,3,6,10,15,21,25,27,27,25,21,15,10,6,3,1}.

Sum of 5-th row is 216=(5+1)^3=216.
