A140056 A triangle of coefficients based on a Pisot like toral binomial model: f(x,y,n)=x^n - y^(n - 1)*x - y^n; p(x,y,z,n)=f(x,y,n)+f(y,z,n)+f(z,x,n); the quartic curve from this set of trinomials is Klein's quartic. 0

COMMENTS

Row sums are all -3.

This result was unexpected: I was just trying to get

binomials whose toral inverse behaves somewhat like minimal Pisot theta

polynomials at degree 3 and 4. The Klein quartic and related curves coming out

was an added bonus?
