EXAMPLE
The Catalan triangle (A009766) starts:
1
1, 1
1, 2, 2
1, 3, 5, 5
1, 4, 9, 14, 14
Each entry is the sum of elements in the previous row except for those which are further right. The columns are nondecreasing, and all positive integers appear in the second column.
Since 2 appears twice in the triangle, it is in the sequence. Since 6 appears only once in the triangle, it is not in the sequence. - Michael B. Porter, Aug 05 2016
