Cascadence of 1+2x+x^2; a triangle, read by rows of 2n+1 terms, that retains its original form upon convolving each row with [1,2,1] and then letting excess terms spill over from each row into the initial positions of the next row such that only 2n+1 terms remain in row n for n>=0.

COMMENTS
In this case, the g.f. of column 0, H(x), satisfies: H(x) = H(x*G^2)*G/x where G satisfies: G = x*(1+2G+G^2), so that 1+G = g.f. of Catalan numbers (A000108). More generally, the cascadence of polynomial F(x) of degree d, F(0)=1, is a triangle with d*n+1 terms in row n where the g.f. H(x) of column 0 satisfies: H(x) = H(x*G^d)*G/x where G = x*F(G); thus G = series_reversion(x/F(x)), or, equivalently, [x^n] G = [x^n] x*F(x)^n/n for n>=1.
Further, the g.f. of the cascadence triangle for polynomial F(x) of degree d is given by: A(x,y) = ( x*H(x) - y*H(x*y^d) )/( x*F(y) - y ), where H(x) = G*H(x*G^d)/x and G = x*F(G). - Paul D. Hanna, Jul 17 2006
FORMULA
G.f.: A(x,y) = ( x*H(x) - y*H(x*y^2) )/( x*F(y) - y ), where H(x) = G*H(x*G^2)/x, G = x*F(G), F(x)=1+2x+x^2. - Paul D. Hanna, Jul 17 2006

Convolution of [1,2,1] with each row produces:
[1,2,1]*[1] = [1,2,1];
[1,2,1]*[2,1,2] = [2,5,6,5,2];
[1,2,1]*[5,6,5,2,5] = [5,16,22,18,14,12,5];
[1,2,1]*[16,22,18,14,12,5,16] = [16,54,78,72,58,43,38,37,16];
These convoluted rows, when concatenated, yield the sequence:
1,2,1, 2,5,6,5,2, 5,16,22,18,14,12,5, 16,54,78,72,58,43,38,37,16, ...
which equals the concatenated rows of this original triangle:
1, 2,1,2, 5,6,5,2,5, 16,22,18,14,12,5,16, 54,78,72,58,43,38,37,16,54,
