Comments

Row sums = A024787, the numbers of 3's in all partitions of n, where A024787 starts with offset 1: (0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 15,...). Triangle A173239 row sums start with the first "1" of A024787.

Let the triangle = M as an infinite lower triangular matrix. Then Lim_{n->inf} = A173241, the Euler transform of A051064 (the ruler function for 3).

Let P(x) = polcoeff A000041 = (1 + x + 2x^2 + 3x^3 + 5x^4 + 7x^5 + ...), then P(x) = A(x) / A(x^3), where A(x) = polcoeff A173241: (1 + x + 2x^2 + 4x^3 + 6x^4 + ...)

Refer to A173238 comments for three conjectures relating A000041 to the infinite set of generalized ruler function sequences.
