COMMENTS

Row sums = powers of 4, A000302: (1, 4, 16, 64,...).

Rightmost terms of each row = A001835: (1, 3, 11, 41, 153, 571,...).

A180063 may be considered N=4 in an infinite set of Pascal-like triangles

generated from variants of the Cartan matrix. Such triangles have trigonometric

properties in charpolys being the upward sloping diagonals (Cf. triangle A180062

= upward sloping diagonals of A180063); as well as row sums = powers of 2,3,4,...

Triangle A125076 = N=3, with row sums powers of 3; (if the original Pascal's

triangle A007318 is considered N=2). To generate the infinite set of these

Pascal-like triangles we use Cartan matrix variants with (1's in the super

and subdiagonals) and (N-1),N,N,N,...as the main diagonal, alternating with

(N,N,N,...).

For example, in the current N=4 triangle, row 7 of A180062 relates to the

Heptagon and is generated from the 3x3 matrix [3,1,0; 1,4,1; 0,1,4], charpoly

x^3 - 11x^2 + 38x - 41. Thus row 7 of triangle A180062 = (1, 11, 38, 41) =

an upward sloping diagonal of triangle A180063.

The upward sloping diagonals of the infinite set of Pascal-like triangles =

denominators in continued fraction convergents to [1,N,1,N,1,N,...] such that

Pascal's triangle (N=2, A007318) has the Fibonacci terms generated from

[1,1,1,...]. Similarly, for the case (N=3, triangle A125076), the upward

sloping diagonals = row terms of triangle A152063 and are denominators in

convergents to [1,2,1,2,1,2,...] = (1, 3, 4, 11, 15,...).

Triangle A180063 is generated from upward sloping diagonals of triangle

A180062, sums found as denominators in [1,3,1,3,1,3,..] = (1, 4, 5, 19,...).
