%C Specify that a triangle has T(n,0) = T(n,n) = A001045(n), and T(r,c) = T(r-1,c-1) + T(r-1,c). The sum of the terms in the first n rows is a(n+1). - _J. M. Bergot_, May 21 2013
%C a(n) is the difference between the total number of runs of equal parts in the compositions of n+1, and the compositions of n+1. - _Gregory L. Simay_, May 04 2017
