%N Triangle b(n,k) for n >= 0, 0 <= k <= 2n, read by rows. See A144299 for definition and properties.

%C Although this entry is the last of the versions of the underlying triangle to be added to the OEIS, for some applications it is the most important.

%C Row n has 2n+1 entries.

%C A001498 has a b-file.
