Row sums of A129234. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 17 2007

Equals row sums of A130307. - Gary W. Adamson, May 20 2007

Equals row sums of triangle A143315. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 06 2008

Equals A051731 * (1, 3, 5, 7, ...); i.e., the inverse Mobius transform of the odd numbers. Example: a(4) = 11 = (1, 1, 0, 1) * (1, 3, 5, 7) = (1 + 3 + 0 + 7), where (1, 1, 0, 1) = row 4 of A051731. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 17 2008

Equals row sums of triangle A143594. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 26 2008
