Triangle A102363 is constructed by a Pascal-like rule with left edge = 2^n, right edge = 2^(n+1)-1 (n>=0).

FORMULA
G.f.: (3 - sqrt(1-4*x)) / (2*(1-4*x)).
a(n) = (3*4^n - binomial(2*n, n))/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 21 2016
a(n) = the coefficient of x^(2*n*(n+1)) in Sum_{n>=0} x^n * (1+x)^tr(n) = Sum_{n>=0} A102363(n)*x^n, where tr(n) = A002024(n+1) = floor(sqrt(2*n+1) + 1/2).
EXAMPLE
Triangle A102363 begins:
1;
2, 3;
4, 5, 7;
8, 9, 12, 15;
16, 17, 21, 27, 31;
32, 33, 38, 48, 58, 63;
64, 65, 71, 86, 106, 121, 127;
128, 129, 136, 157, 192, 227, 248, 255;
256, 257, 265, 293, 349, 419, 475, 503, 511, 512; ...
where the terms in this sequence form the central terms in the above triangle.
RELATED SERIES.
Let G(x) be the g.f. of triangle A102363 in flattened form:
G(x) = 1 + 2*x + 3*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 7*x^5 + 8*x^6 + 9*x^7 + 12*x^8 + 15*x^9 + 16*x^10 + 17*x^11 + 21*x^12 + 27*x^13 + 31*x^14 + 32*x^15 +...
where G(x) can be written
G(x) = (1+x) + x*(1+x)^2 + x^2*(1+x)^2 + x^3*(1+x)^3 + x^4*(1+x)^3 + x^5*(1+x)^3 + x^6*(1+x)^4 + x^7*(1+x)^4 + x^8*(1+x)^4 + x^9*(1+x)^4 + x^10*(1+x)^5 + x^11*(1+x)^5 + x^12*(1+x)^5 + x^13*(1+x)^5 + x^14*(1+x)^5 + x^15*(1+x)^6 +...
then the terms in this sequence form the coefficients of x^(2*n*(n+1)) in G(x) for n>=0.
Note that the coefficient of x^(n*(n+1)/2) in G(x) equals 2^n for n>=0.
