FORMULA
Row 1: t(1,h)=Floor[r*3^(h-1)], where r=(3^0)/(2^0), h=1,2,3,... Row 2: t(2,h)=Floor[r*3^(h-1)], r=(3^2)/(2^2), where 2=Floor[r] is least positive integer (LPI) not in row 1. Row 3: t(3,h)=Floor[r*3^(h-1)], r=(3^2)/(2^1), where 4=Floor[r] is the LPI not in rows 1 and 2. Row m: t(m,h)=Floor[r*3^(h-1)], where r=(3^j)/(2^k), where k is the least integer >=0 for which there is an integer j for which the LPI not in rows 1,2,...,m-1 is Floor[r].
