1,5
COMMENTS
The n-th column starting from the top has the first n terms in the Catalan sequence: (1, 2, 5, 14, ...)
FORMULA
n-th column (offset) is generated by P * V; P = the Narayana triangle as an infinite lower triangular matrix, V = vector for n-th column comprising n leading 1's and the rest zeros (e.g., V for 3rd column = [1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...]).
EXAMPLE
Col. 2 offset = 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, ... since P * [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...] = 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, ...
First few rows of the triangle are:
1;
1, 1;
1, 2, 1;
1, 4, 2, 1;
1, 7, 5, 2, 1;
1, 11, 13, 5, 2, 1;
1, 16, 31, 14, 5, 2, 1;
...
Second column = A000124.
