%N The lower left triangle of the ED1 array A167546.

%C We discovered that the numbers that appear in the lower left triangle of the ED1 array A167546 (m <= n) behave in a regular way, see the formula below. This rather simple regularity doesn't show up in the upper right triangle of the ED1 array (m > n).

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A167557/b167557.txt">Table of n, a(n) for the first 50 rows</a>

%F a(n,m) = 4^(m-1)*(m-1)!*(n+m-2)!/(2*m-2)!.

%e The first few triangle rows are:

%e [1]

%e [1, 4]

%e [2, 12, 32]

%e [6, 48, 160, 384]

%e [24, 240, 960, 2688, 6144]

%e [120, 1440, 6720, 21504, 55296, 122880]

%p a := proc(n, m): 4^(m-1)*(m-1)!*(n+m-2)!/(2*m-2)! end: seq(seq(a(n, m), m=1..n), n=1..8); # _Johannes W. Meijer_, revised Nov 23 2012

%t Flatten[Table[(4^(m-1) (m-1)!(n+m-2)!)/(2m-2)!,{n,10},{m,n}]] (* _Harvey P. Dale_, Sep 29 2013 *)

%Y A167546 is the ED1 array.

%Y A047053 and A167558 are the first two right hand triangle columns.

%Y A000142, 4*A001710 (n>=2), 32*A001720, 384*A001730, 6144*A049389, 122880*A051431 are the first six left hand triangle columns.

%Y A167559 equals the row sums.
