COMMENTS

Conjecture: T(2n + m, n + m) = T(2n, n) ( = A156870(n) ) if and only if m >= 0.

Comment from Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Feb 20 2009: Yes, the diagonals are constant for n <= 2k. Any such sequence must have at least one 1; remove that 1, and you get a sequence for n-1,k-1.

The next term will be a(37) = A002966(9). [From M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/~mhasler), Feb 20 2009]

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

..........................1

.......................1.....1

....................3.....1.....1

................14.....4.....1.....1

............147....17.....4.....1.....1

........3462...164....18.....4.....1.....1

..294314..3627....167....18.....4.....1.....1

For n = 4 and k = 2, the T(4, 2) = 4 sequences are (1, 2, 3, 6), (1, 2, 4, 4), (1, 3, 3, 3) and (2, 2, 2, 2) because 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/1 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 2.

PROG

Contribution from M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/~mhasler), Feb 20 2009: (Start)

(PARI) c(n, k, m=1)={ n==1 & return(numerator(k)==1 & denominator(k)>=m); sum( i=max(m, 1\k+1), n\k, c(n-1, k-1/i, i))}

for(n=1, 7, for(k=1, n, print1( c(n, k)", "))) (End)

CROSSREFS

T(n, 1) = A002966(n)

T(2n, n) = A156870(n)

T(n, 1) + ... + T(n, n) = A156871(n)

Sequence in context: A055154 A015112 A174690 * A153090 A203002 A073483
