Rows are numbers of dominoes with k spots where each half-domino has zero to n spots (in standard domino set: n=6, there are 28 dominoes and row is 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,3,3,2,2,1,1). - Henry Bottomley, Aug 23 2000
The Gaussian polynomial (or Gaussian binomial) [n,2]_q is an example of a q-binomial coefficient (see the link) and may be defined for n >= 2 by [n,2]_q = ([n]_q * [n-1]_q)/([1]_q * [2]_q), where [n]_q := q^n - 1. The first few values are: [2,2]_q = 1; [3,2]_q = 1 + q + q^2; [4,2]_q = 1 + q + 2q^2 + q^3 + q^4. - Peter Bala, Sep 23 2007
These numbers appear in the solution of Cayley's counting problem on covariants as N(p,2,w) = [x^p,q^w] Phi(q,x) with the o.g.f. Phi(q,x) = 1/((1-x)(1-qx)(1-q^2x)) given by Peter Bala in the formula section. See the Hawkins reference, p. 264, were also references are given. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 30 2012
The entry a(p,w), p >= 0, w = 0,1,...,2*p, of this irregular triangle is the number of nonnegative solutions of m_0 + m_1 + m_2 = p and 1*m_1 + 2*m_2 = w. See the Hawkins reference p. 264, (4.8). N(p,2,w) there is a(p,w). See also the Cayley reference p. 110, 35. with m = 2, Theta = p and q = w. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 01 2012
Also the number of unordered pairs of distinct positive integers up to n with sum k. For example, row n = 9 counts the following pairs:
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 29 39 49 59 69 79 89
23 24 25 26 27 28 38 48 58 68 78
34 35 36 37 47 57 67
45 46 56
Allowing repeated parts (x,x) gives A004737.
For strict partitions instead of just pairs we have A053632.

FORMULA

Let f(r) = Product( (x^i-x^(r+1))/(1-x^i), i = 1..r-2) / x^((r-1)*(r-2)/2); then expanding f(r) in powers of x and taking coefficients gives the successive rows of this triangle (with a different offset).
Expanding (q^n - 1)(q^(n+1) - 1)/((q - 1)(q^2 - 1)) in powers of q and taking coefficients gives the n-th row of the triangle. Ordinary generating function: 1/((1-x)(1-qx)(1-q^2x)) = 1 + x(1 + q + q^2) + x^2(1 + q + 2q^2 + q^3 + q^4) + .... - Peter Bala, Sep 23 2007
For n >= 2, let a(n,i) denote the i-th entry of the (n-1)-st row of this triangle; for every 0 <= i <= n-2, a(n,i) = a(n,2(n-2)-i) = ceiling((i+1)/2). - Christian Barrientos, Aug 08 2019

Partitions: row p=2 and column w=2 has entry 2 because the 2 solutions of the two equations mentioned in a comment above are: m_0 = 0, m_1 = 2, m_2 = 0 and m_0 = 1, m_1 = 0, m_2 = 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 01 2012
