COMMENTS
Columns are related to Fibonacci n-step numbers. Are there closed forms for the sequences in the columns?
We denote by a(n,k) the number which is in the (n+1)-th row and (k+1)-th-column. With help of the definition, we also have the recurrence relation: a(n+k+1, k) = 2*a(n+k, k) - a(n, k). We see on the main diagonal the numbers 1,2,4, 8, ..., which is clear from the formula for the general term d(n)=2^n. - Richard Choulet, Jan 31 2010
Most of the paper by Dunkel (1925) is a study of the columns of this table. - Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 14 2019

FORMULA
T(n,0) = 1.
T(n,1) = n.
T(n,2) = A000071(n+1).
T(n,3) = A008937(n-2).
The general term in the n-th row and k-th column is given by: a(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..floor(n/(k+1))} ((-1)^j binomial(n-k*j,n-(k+1)*j)*2^(n-(k+1)*j)). For example: a(5,3) = binomial(5,5)*2^5 - binomial(2,1)*2^1 = 28. The generating function of the (k+1)-th column satisfies: psi(k)(z)=1/(1-2*z+z^(k+1)) (for k=0 we have the known result psi(0)(z)=1/(1-z)). - Richard Choulet, Jan 31 2010 [By saying "(k+1)-th column" the author actually means "k-th column" for k = 0, 1, 2, ... - Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 26 2019]
