A023531 a(n) = 1 if n is of the form m(m+3)/2, otherwise 0. 95

%N a(n) = 1 if n is of the form m(m+3)/2, otherwise 0.

%C Can be read as table: a(n,m) = 1 if n = m >= 0, else 0 (unit matrix).

%C a(n) = number of 1's between successive 0's (see also A005614, A003589 and A007538). - _Eric Angelini_, Jul 06 2005

%C Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows, given by A000004 DELTA A000007 where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - _Philippe Deléham_, Jan 03 2009

%C Sequence B is called a reverse reluctant sequence of sequence A, if B is triangle array read by rows: row number k lists first k elements of the sequence A in reverse order.

%C A023531 is reverse reluctant sequence of sequence A000007. - _Boris Putievskiy_, Jan 11 2013

%C Also the Bell transform (and the inverse Bell transform) of 0^n (A000007). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - _Peter Luschny_, Jan 19 2016

%C This is the turn sequence of the triangle spiral. To form the spiral: go a unit step forward, turn left a(n)*120 degrees, and repeat. The triangle sides are the runs of a(n)=0 (no turn). The sequence can be generated by a morphism with a special symbol S for the start of the sequence: S -> S,1; 1 -> 0,1; 0->0. The expansion lengthens each existing side and inserts a new unit side at the start. See the Fractint L-system in the links to draw the spiral this way. - _Kevin Ryde_, Dec 06 2019

%F From _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Jun 29 2009: (Start)

%F G.f.: (1/2 x^{-1/8}theta_2(0,x^{1/2}) - 1)/x, where theta_2 is a Jacobi theta function.

%F G.f. for triangle: Sum T(n,k) x^n y^k = 1/(1-x*y). Sum T(n,k) x^n y^k / n! = Sum T(n,k) x^n y^k / k! = exp(x*y). Sum T(n,k) x^n y^k / (n! k!) = I_0(2*sqrt(x*y)), where I is the modified Bessel function of the first kind. (End)

%F a(n) = A000007(m), where m=(t*t+3*t+4)/2-n, t=floor((-1+sqrt(8*n-7))/2). - _Boris Putievskiy_, Jan 11 2013

%F The row polynomials are p(n,x) = x^n = (-1)^n n!Lag(n,-n,x), the normalized, associated Laguerre polynomials of order -n. As the prototypical Appell sequence with e.g.f. exp(x*y), its raising operator is R = x and lowering operator, L = d/dx, i.e., R p(n,x) = p(n+1,x), and L p(n,x) = n * p(n-1,x). - _Tom Copeland_, May 10 2014
