COMMENTS
The asymmetry degree of a finite sequence of numbers is defined to be the number of pairs of symmetrically positioned distinct entries. Example: the asymmetry degree of (2,7,6,4,5,7,3) is 2, counting the pairs (2,3) and (6,5).
Number of entries in row n is 1 + floor(n/6).
Sum of entries in row n is A003520(n).
T(n,0) = A226516(n+11).
Sum_{k>=0} k*T(n,k) = A276065(n).

FORMULA
G.f.: G(t,z) = (1+z+z^5)/(1-z^2-2tz^6-z^10). In the more general situation of compositions into a[1]<a[2]<a[3]<..., denoting F(z) = Sum_{j>=1} z^{a[j]}, we have G(t,z) =(1 + F(z))/(1 - F(z^2) - t(F(z)^2 - F(z^2))). In particular, for t=0 we obtain Theorem 1.2 of the Hoggatt et al. reference.
EXAMPLE
Row 8 is [1,4] because the compositions of 8 with parts in {1,5} are 5111, 1511, 1151, 1115 and 11111111, having asymmetry degrees 1,1,1,1, and 0, respectively.

G := (1+z+z^5)/(1-z^2-2*t*z^6-z^10): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 30)): for n from 0 to 25 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n from 0 to 25 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j = 0 .. degree(P[n])) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
