A279212 Fill an array by antidiagonals upwards; in the top left cell enter a(0)=1; thereafter, in the n-th cell, enter the sum of the entries of those earlier cells that can be seen from that cell. 10

%N Fill an array by antidiagonals upwards; in the top left cell enter a(0)=1; thereafter, in the n-th cell, enter the sum of the entries of those earlier cells that can be seen from that cell.

%C "That can be seen from" means "that are on the same row, column, diagonal, or antidiagonal as".

%C Inspired by A279967.

%C Conjecture: Every column has a finite number of odd entries, and every row and diagonal have an infinite number of odd entries. - _Peter Kagey_, Mar 28 2020. The conjecture about columns is true, see that attached pdf file from _Alec Jones_.

%C The "look" keyword refers to _Peter Kagey_'s bitmap. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 29 2020

%C The number of sequences of queen moves from (1, 1) to (n, k) in the first quadrant moving only up, right, diagonally up-right, or diagonally up-left. - _Peter Kagey_, Apr 12 2020

%C Column 0 gives A011782. In the column 1, the only powers of 2 occur at positions A233328(k) with value a(k(k+1)/2 + 1), k >=1 (see A335903). Conjecture: Those are the only multiple occurrences of numbers greater than 1 in this sequence (checked through the first 2000 antidiagonals). - _Hartmut F. W. Hoft_, Jun 29 2020

%e For example, when we get to the antidiagonal that reads 4, 15, 39, ..., the reason for the 39 is that from that cell we can see one cell that has been filled in above it (containing 11), one cell to the northwest (2), two cells to the west (1, 6), and two to the southwest (4, 15), for a total of a(8) = 39.

%e The next pair of duplicates greater than 2 is 2^20 = 1048576 = a(154) = a(231), located in antidiagonals 17 = A233328(2) and 21, respectively. For additional duplicate numbers in this sequence see A335903. - _Hartmut F. W. Hoft_, Jun 29 2020
