%N List of different composites in Pascal-like triangles with index of asymmetry y = 2 and index of obliquity z = 0 or z = 1.
%C For the Pascal-like triangle G(n, k) with index of asymmetry y = 2 and index of obliqueness z = 0, which is read by rows, we have G(n, 0) = G(n+1, n+1) = 1, G(n+2, n+1) = 2, G(n+3, n+1) = 4, G(n+4, k) = G(n+1, k-1) + G(n+1, k) + G(n+2, k) + G(n+3, k) for k = 1..(n+1). (This is array A140997.)
%C For the Pascal-like triangle with index of asymmetry y = 1 and index of obliqueness z = 1, which is read by rows, we have G(n, n) = G(n+1, 0) = 1, G(n+2, 1) = 2, G(n+3, 2) = 4, G(n+4, k) = G(n+1, k-2) + G(n+1, k-3) + G(n+2, k-2) + G(n+3, k-1) for k = 3..(n+3). (This is array A140994.)
%C From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jun 12 2019: (Start)
%C The two triangular arrays A140997 and A140994, which are described above, are mirror images of each other.
%C To make the current sequence uniquely defined, we follow the suggestion of _R. J. Mathar_ for sequence A141064. For each row of array A140997, the composites not appearing in earlier rows are collected, sorted, and added to the sequence. We get exactly the same sequence by working with array A140994 instead.
%C Finally, we mention that in the attached picture about the connection between Stepan's triangles and the Pascal triangle, the letter s is used to describe the index of asymmetry and the letter e is used to describe the index of obliqueness (instead of the letters y and z, respectively). The Pascal triangle A007318 has index of asymmetry s = y = 0 (and it does not matter whether we use e = 0 or e = 1 in the general formulas in the attached photograph).
