A169940 Consider the 2^(n-1) monic polynomials f(x) with coefficients 0 or 1, degree n and f(0)=1. Sequence gives triangle read by rows, in which T(n,k) (n>=1) is the number of such polynomials of thickness k (2 <= k <= n+1). 15

FORMULA
Wanted: a recurrence. Are any of A169940-A169954 related to any other entries in the OEIS?
From M. F. Hasler, Nov 12 2010: (Start)
T(n,n+1) = 1 = T(2m,2m), T(2m+1,2m+1) = 0,
T(n+1,n) = (3, 3, 6, 6, 9, 9, ...) = 3*[n/2-1] = A168237(n) (n>2),
T(2m+2,2m) = (3, 10, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37, ...) = 5m+2 for m>2,
T(2m+3,2m+1) = (4, 6, 8, 10, ...) = 2m+2 for m>0,
T(2m+3,2m) = (5, 27, 56, 96, 143, 199, 264, ...) = m(9m+13)/2-2 for m>3,
T(2m+4,2m+1) = (7, 23, 50, 86, 131, 185, 248, ...) = 9m(m+1)/2-4 for m>1,

For n=3 there are four polynomials x^3+1, x^3+x+1, x^3+x^2+1, x^3+x^2+x+1. Their squares are x^6+2*x^3+1, x^6+2*x^4+2*x^3+x^2+2*x+1, x^6+2*x^5+2*x^3+x^4+2*x^2+1 and x^6+2*x^5+3*x^4+4*x^3+3*x^2+2*x+1. Their thicknesses are 2,2,2,4. So T(3,2)=3, T(3,3)=0, T(3,4)=1.
