Comments

Given a (1, 2, 3, ...) * (1, 2, 3, ...) multiplication table; leftmost column of the triangle = (1, 2, 3, ...). Then shift down each successive column of the array twice to get this irregular triangle.

Formula

T(n, k) = k*(2 - 2*k + n), with 1 <= k <= floor((n + 1)/2). - Stefano Spezia, Apr 19 2022

Example

Given:
  1,  2,  3,  4,  5, ...
  2,  4,  6,  8, 10, ...
  3,  6,  9, 12, 15, ...
  4,  8, 12, 16, 20, ...
  ...
After the shift twice operation, we obtain:
   1;
   2;
   3,  2;
   4,  4;
   5,  6,  3;
   6,  8,  6;
   7, 10,  9,  4;
   8, 12, 12,  8;
   9, 14, 15, 12,  5;
  10, 16, 18, 16, 10;
  11, 18, 21, 20, 15,  6;
  12, 20, 24, 24, 20, 12;
  ...
