%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of dominating subsets with cardinality k of the path tree P_n (n>=1, 1<=k<=n).

%C The entries in row n are the coefficients of the domination polynomial of the path P_n (see the Alikhani and Peng reference).

%C Sum of entries in row n = A000213(n+1) (number of dominating subsets; tribonacci numbers).

%F If p(n)=p(n,x) denotes the generating polynomial of row n (called the domination polynomial of the path tree P_n), then p(1)=x, p(2) = 2x + x^2, p(3) = x + 3x^2 + x^3 and p(n) = x*[p(n-1) + p(n-2) + p(n-3)] for n>=4 (see Eq. (3.2) in the Alikhani & Peng journal reference).

%e Row 3 is [1,3,1] because the path tree A-B-C has dominating subsets B, AB, BC, AC, and ABC.

%e Triangle starts:

%e 1;

%e 2,1;

%e 1,3,1;

%e 0,4,4,1;

%e 0,3,8,5,1;

%p p := proc (n) option remember; if n = 1 then x elif n = 2 then x^2+2*x elif n = 3 then x^3+3*x^2+x else sort(expand(x*(p(n-1)+p(n-2)+p(n-3)))) end if end proc: for n to 15 do seq(coeff(p(n), x, k), k = 1 .. n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form

%t p[1] = x; p[2] = 2*x + x^2; p[3] = x + 3*x^2 + x^3; p[n_] := p[n] = x*(p[n - 1] + p[n - 2] + p[n - 3]); row[n_] := CoefficientList[p[n], x] // Rest;

%t Array[row, 15] // Flatten (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Feb 24 2016 *)
