A162997 Array A(n,k) read by antidiagonals downward (n >= 0, k >= 1): the bottom-right element of the 2 X 2 matrix [1,n; 1,n+1] raised to k-th power. 6

%I #21 Sep 19 2017 05:40:35

%S 1,1,2,1,5,3,1,13,11,4,1,34,41,19,5,1,89,153,92,29,6,1,233,571,436,

%T 169,41,7,1,610,2131,2089,985,281,55,8,1,1597,7953,10009,5741,1926,

%U 433,71,9

%N Array A(n,k) read by antidiagonals downward (n >= 0, k >= 1): the bottom-right element of the 2 X 2 matrix [1,n; 1,n+1] raised to k-th power.

%C With k=0 column added, becomes A094954.

%C Also, A(n,k) is the top-left element of the same 2 X 2 matrix raised to (k+1)-th power.

%C Also, A(n,k) is the denominator of the rational number which has continued fraction expansion consisting of k repeats of [1, n]. Example: the row (3, 11, 41, ...) is extracted from denominators of the continued fractions [0; 1, 2], [0; 1, 2, 1, 2], ... = 2/3, 8/11, ...

%C Also, A(n,k)=Product_{i=1..k} (n+2+2*cos(2*Pi*i/(2*k+1))). This is somehow connected to the diagonal product formulas for (2*k+1)-gons found by Steinbach.

%C Row sums of the triangle = A162998: (1, 3, 29, 100, 369, 1458, ...).
