COMMENTS

The entries in row n are the coefficients of the domination polynomial of the wheel W_n (see the Alikhani and Peng arxiv reference).

FORMULA

Denoting by pw(n,x) the domination polynomial of the wheel W_n, we have the recurrence relation pw(n,x)=x(pw(n-1,x)+pw(n-2,x)+pw(n-3,x))+x(1+x)^{n-4}; pw(4,x)=4x+6x^2+4x^3+x^4, pw(5,x)=x+10x^2+10x^3+5x^4+x^5, pw(6,x)=x+10x^2+20x^3+15x^4+6x^5+x^6.

If pc(n,x) is the domination polynomial of the cycle C_n (see A212634), then the domination polynomial of the wheel W_n is x*(1 + x)^(n-1) + pc(n,x) (see Corollary 2 in the Alikhani & Peng reference).

EXAMPLE

Row 4 is [4,6,4,1] because all nonempty subsets of the wheel W_4 are dominating: binom(4,j) of size j (j=1,2,3,4).

T(7,2)=9 because in the wheel W_7 with vertices A (center), B, C, D, E, F, G the dominating subsets of size 2 are {B,E}, {C,F}, {D,G}, {A, B}, {A,C}, {A,D}, {A,E}, {A,F}, and {A, G}.

Irregular triangle starts:

4,6,4,1;

1,10,10,5,1;

1,10,20,15,6,1;

1,9,29,35,21,7,1;

MAPLE

pc := proc (n) if n = 1 then x elif n = 2 then x^2+2*x elif n = 3 then x^3+3*x^2+3*x else sort(expand(x*(pc(n-1)+pc(n-2)+pc(n-3)))) end if end proc: p := proc (n) options operator, arrow: sort(expand(x*(1+x)^(n-1)+pc(n-1))) end proc: for n from 4 to 15 do seq(coeff(p(n), x, k), k = 1 .. n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
