%N Triangle read by rows: T(n, m) gives the sum of the weights of weighted compositions of n with m parts from generalized pentagonal numbers {A001318(k)}_{k>=1}.

%C The sums of row n are given in A000041(n), for n >= 1 (number of partitions).

%C A differently signed triangle is A047265.

%C One could add a column m = 0 starting at n = 0 with T(0, 0) = 1 and T(n, 0) = 0 otherwise, by including the empty partition with no parts.

%C For the weights w of positive integer numbers n see a comment in A339885. It is w(n) = -A010815(n), for n >= 0. Also w(n) = A257028(n), for n >= 1.

%C The weight of a composition is the one of the respective partition, obtained by the product of the weights of the parts.

%C That the row sums give the number of partitions follows from the pentagonal number theorem. See also the Apr 04 2013 conjecture in A000041 by _Gary W. Adamson_, and the hint for the proof by _Joerg Arndt_. The INVERT map of A = {1, 1, 0, 0, -5, -7, ...}, with offset 1, gives the A000041(n) numbers, for n >= 0.

%C If the above mentioned column for m = 0, starting at n = 0 is added this is an ordinary convolution triangle of the Riordan type R(1, f(x)), with f(x) = -(Product_{j>=1} (1 - x^j) - 1), generating {A257628(n)_{n>=0}. See the formulae below. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 16 2021

%F T(n, m) = Sum_{j=1..p(n,m)} w(Part(n, m, j))*M0(n, m, j), where p(n, m) = A008284(n, m), M0(n, m, j) are the multinomials from A048996, i.e., m!/Prod_{k=1..m} e(n,m,j,k)! with the exponents of the parts, and the ternary weight of the j-th partition of n with m parts Part(n,m,j), in Abramowitz-Stegun order, is defined as the product of the weights of the parts, using w(n) = -A010815(n), for n >= 1, and m = 1, 2, ..., n.

%F From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 16 2021: (Start)

%F G.f. column m: G(m, x) = ( -(Product_{j>=1} (1 - x^j) - 1) )^m, for m >= 1.

%F G.f. of row polynomials R(n, x) = Sum_{m=1..n}, that is g. f. of the triangle:

%F GfT(z, x) = 1/(1 - x*G(1, z)) - 1. Riordan triangle (without m = 0 column). (End)

%e For instance the case n = 6: The relevant weighted partitions with parts from the pentagonal numbers and number of compositions are: m = 2: 2*(1,-5) = -2*(1,5), m = 3: 1*(2^3), m = 4: 3*(1^2,2^2), m = 5: 1*(1^4,2), m = 6: 1*(1^6). The other partitions have weight 0.

%p # Using function PMatrix from A357368. Adds a row and a column for n, m = 0.

%p PMatrix(14, proc(n) 24*n+1; if issqr(%) then sqrt(%); -(-1)^irem(iquo(%+irem(%,6),6),2) else 0 fi end); # _Peter Luschny_, Oct 06 2022

%t nmax = 12;

%t col[m_] := col[m] = (-(Product[(1-x^j), {j, 1, nmax}]-1))^m // CoefficientList[#, x]&;

%t T[n_, m_] := col[m][[n+1]];
