Comments

The offset is chosen as "0" to match the generalized or compositional Bernoulli numbers.

Following [Blandin and Diaz], we can generalize a subset of Bernoulli numbers to comply with the origin of the triangle (the Pascal matrix A007318 beheaded once: (A074909), twice: (this triangle), and so on...); and a corresponding Bernoulli sequence that equals the inverse of the triangle, extracting the left border. This procedure done with A074909 results in The Bernoulli numbers (A027641/A026642) starting (1, -1/2, 1/6,...). Done with this triangle we obtain A006568/A006569: (1, -1/3, 1/18, 1/90,...).

A generalized algebraic property of the subset of such triangles and compositional Bernoulli numbers is that the triangle M * [corresponding Bernoulli sequence considered as a vector, V] = [1, 0, 0, 0,...].

The infinite set of generalized Bernoulli number sequences thus generated from variants of Pascal's triangle begins: [(1, -1/2, 1/6,...); (1, -1/3, 1/18,...); (1, -1/4, 1/40,...); (1, -1/5, 1/75,...); where the third term denominators = A002411 (1, 6, 18, 40, 75,...) after the "1".

Row sums of the triangle = A000295 starting (1, 4, 11, 26, 57,...).

Formula

Doubly beheaded variant of Pascal's triangle in which two rightmost diagonals are deleted.

T(n,k)=T(n-1,k)+3*T(n-1,k-1)-2*T(n-2,k-1)-3*T(n-2,k-2)+T(n-3,k-2)+T(n-3,k-3), T(0,0)=1, T(n,k)=0 if k<0 or if k>n. - Philippe Deléham, Jan 11 2014
