The n-th row entries for this array are the regular polytope numbers for the n-dimensional cross polytope as defined by [Kim]. The rows are the partial sums of the rows of the square array of Delannoy numbers A008288.
The odd numbered rows of this array form A142977. For a triangular version of this table see A104698. Cf. also A101603.
The n-th row of the array is the binomial transform of n-th row of triangle A081277, followed by zeros. Example: row 4 (1, 6, 19, 44, 85, ...) = binomial transform of row 3 of A081277: (1, 5, 8, 4, 0, 0, 0, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 17 2008
The main diagonal of the array T(n,k) is A047781 Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(n-1,k)*binomial(n+k,k). Also a(n) = T(n,n), array T as in A049600. The link from A099193 to J. V. Post, Table of polytope numbers, Sorted, Through 1,000,000, includes all n-D Hyperoctahedron (n-Cross Polytope) Numbers through 10-Cross(20) = 1669752016. - Jonathan Vos Post, Jul 16 2008

FORMULA

T(n,k) = Sum_{i = 0..n-1} C(n-1,i)*C(k+i,n).
Reciprocity law: n*T(n,k) = k*T(k,n).
Recurrence relation: T(n,1) = 1, T(1,k) = k, T(n,k) = T(n,k-1) + T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-1,k), n,k > 1.
O.g.f. row n: x*(1 + x)^(n-1)/(1 - x)^(n+1).
O.g.f. for array: Sum_{n >= 1, k >= 1} T(n, k)*x^k*y^n = x*y/((1 - x)*(1 - x - y - x*y)).
The n-th row entries are the values [p_n(k)], k >= 1, of the polynomial function p_n(x) = Sum_{k = 1..n} 2^(k-1)*C(n-1,k-1)*C(x,k). The first few values are p_1(x) = x, p_2(x) = x^2, p_3(x) = (2*x^3 + x)/3 and p_4(x) = (x^4 + 2*x^2)/3.
The polynomial p_n(x) is the unique polynomial solution of the difference equation x*( f(x+1) - f(x-1) ) = 2*n*f(x), normalized so that f(1) = 1.
The o.g.f. for the p_n(x) is 1/2*((1 + t)/(1 - t))^x = 1/2 + x*t + x^2*t^2 + (2*x^3 + x)/3*t^3 + .... Thus p_n(x) is, apart from a constant factor, the Meixner polynomial of the first kind M_n(x;b,c) at b = 0, c = -1, also known as a Mittag-Leffler polynomial.
The entries in the n-th row appear in the series acceleration formula for the constant log(2): Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)/(T(n,k)*T(n,k+1)) = 1 + (-1)^(n+1) * (2*n)*(log(2) - (1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - ... + (-1)^(n+1)/n)). For example, n = 3 gives log(2) = 4/6 + (1/6)*(1/(1*6) - 1/(6*19) + 1/(19*44) - 1/(44*85) + ...). See A142983 for further details.
The odd-indexed columns of this array form the array A142992 of crystal ball sequences for lattices of type C_n.
Conjectural congruences for main diagonal entries: Put A(n) = T(n,n). Calculation suggests the following congruences: for prime p > 3 and m, r >= 1, A(m*p^r) == A(m*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r));
Sum_{k = 0..p-1} A(k)^2 == 0 (mod p) if p is a prime of the form 8*n+1 or 8*n+7;
Sum_{k = 0..p-1} A(k)^2 == -1 (mod p) if p is a prime of the form 8*n+3 or 8*n+5.
(End)
T(n,k) = (1/2)*Sum_{i = 0..k} binomial(k,i)*binomial(n+k-1-i,k-1).
T(n,k) = (1/2)*[x^n] ((1+x)/(1-x))^k = (1/2)*(k/n)*[x^k] ((1+x)/(1-x))^n.
n*T(n,k) = 2*k*T(n-1,k) + (n - 2)*T(n-2,k). (End)
A(n,k) = k*hypergeom([1 - n, 1 - k], [2], 2). - Peter Luschny, Mar 23 2023
