%N Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n, k) gives the coefficients of the Girard-Waring formula for the sum of n-th power of four indeterminates in terms of their elementary symmetric functions (reverse Abramowitz-Stegun order of partitions).

%C The length of row n is A001400(n), n >= 1.

%C The Girard-Waring formula for the power sum p(4,n) := Sum_{j=1..4} (x_j)^n in terms of the elementary symmetric functions e_j(x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4), for j = 1, 2, 3, 4, is given by Sum_{i1=0..floor(n/4)} Sum_{i2=0...floor((n-4*i1)/3)} Sum_{i3=0...floor((n-4*i1-3*i2)/2)} ((-1)^(i1 + i3))*n*(n-1-i3-2*i2-3*i1)!/(i1!*i2!*i3!*(n-2*i3-3*i2-4*i1)!)*e_1^(n-2*i3-3*i2-4*i1)*(e_2)^i3*(e_3)^i2*(e_4)^i1, n >= 1 (the arguments of e_j have been omitted). See the W. Lang reference, Theorem 1, case N = 4, with r -> n.

%C This is an array using the partitions of n, in the reverse Abramowitz-Stegun order, with all partitions with a part >= 5 eliminated. See row n of the array of Waring numbers A115131, read backwards, with these partitions omitted.

%F T(n, k) is the k-th coefficient of the Waring number partition array A115131(n, m) (k there is replaced here by m), read backwards, omitting all partitions which have a part >= 5.
