A133826 Triangle whose rows are sequences of increasing and decreasing tetrahedral numbers: 1; 1,4,1; 1,4,10,4,1; ... . 2

%I #39 Sep 17 2022 14:09:58

%S 1,1,4,1,1,4,10,4,1,1,4,10,20,10,4,1,1,4,10,20,35,20,10,4,1,1,4,10,20,

%N Triangle whose rows are sequences of increasing and decreasing tetrahedral numbers: 1; 1,4,1; 1,4,10,4,1; ... .

%C Reading the triangle by rows produces the sequence 1,1,4,1,1,4,10,4,1,..., analogous to A004737.

%C T(n,k) = min(n*(n+1)*(n+2)/6, k*(k+1)*(k+2)/6) n, k > 0. The order of the list T(n,k) is by sides of squares from T(1,n) to T(n,n), then from T(n,n) to T(n,1). - _Boris Putievskiy_, Jan 13 2013

%F O.g.f.: (1+q*x)/((1-x)*(1-q*x)^3*(1-q^2x)) = 1 + x*(1 + 4*q + q^2) + x^2*(1 + 4*q + 10*q^2 + 4*q^3 + q^4) + ... .

%F From _Boris Putievskiy_, Jan 13 2013: (Start)

%F a(n) = A004737(n)*(A004737(n)+1)*(A004737(n)+2)/2.

%F a(n) = z*(z+1)*(z+2)/6, where z = floor(sqrt(n-1)) - |n - floor(sqrt(n-1))^2 - floor(sqrt(n-1)) - 1| + 1. (End)
