COMMENTS

Given that row 1 and column 1 are the sequence (1,2,3,4,...), T is the array of minimal positive subdeterminants in the sense that for each 2 X 2 submatrix

a b

c d,

d is the least integer for which the resulting

determinant is positive; indeed, the determinant is 1.

T(n,n)=A001844(n).

SUM{T(n,k): k=1,2,...,n}=A081436(n).

When T is written as the triangle

1

2 2

3 5 3

4 8 8 4

5 11 13 11 5, etc.,

the row sums are A006527 and the alternating row sums are 1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,... (A059841).

FORMULA

T(n,k)=(2n-1)*k-n+1.

EXAMPLE

Northwest corner:

1 2 3 4 5 6

2 5 8 11 14 17

3 8 13 18 23 28

4 11 18 25 32 39

T(2,2)=5 because 5 is the least positive integer x for which the determinant of the 2 X 2 matrix below is positive:

1 2
