Comments

The characteristic shape of the symmetric representation of sigma(A014105(n)) consists in that in the main diagonal of the diagram the smallest Dyck path has a peak and the largest Dyck path has a valley.

So knowing this characteristic shape we can know if a number is a second hexagonal number (or not) just by looking at the diagram, even ignoring the concept of second hexagonal number.

Therefore we can see a geometric pattern of the distribution of the second hexagonal numbers in the stepped pyramid described in A245092.

T(n,k) is also the length of the k-th line segment of the largest Dyck path of the symmetric representation of sigma(A014105(n)), from the border to the center, hence the sum of the n-th row of triangle is equal to A014105(n).

T(n,k) is also the difference between the total number of partitions of all positive integers <= n-th second hexagonal number into exactly k consecutive parts, and the total number of partitions of all positive integers <= n-th second hexagonal number into exactly k + 1 consecutive parts.
