T(n,k) = number of permutations on [n] with n in position k in which 321 patterns only occur as part of 3241 patterns. Example: T(4,2)=3 counts 1423, 2413, 3412. - David Callan, Jul 20 2005

From Gary W. Adamson, Feb 24 2011: (Start)

Given rows of an array such that n-th row is the eigensequence of an infinite lower triangular matrix with first n columns of Pascal's triangle and the rest zeros. The reoriented finite differences of the array starting from the top are the rows of A056860.

The first few rows of the array are

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ...

1, 2, 5, 15, 37, 76, ...

1, 2, 5, 15, 52, 151, ...
