%N Triangle read by rows, which contains Noll's indices of Zernike polynomials in row n sorted along increasing index of the azimuthal quantum number.
%C The natural arrangement of the indices n (radial index) and m (azimuthal index) of the Zernike polynomial Z(n,m) is a triangle with row index n, in each row m ranging from -n to n in steps of 2:
%C (0,0)
%C (1,-1) (1,1)
%C (2,-2) (2,0) (2,2)
%C (3,-3) (3,-1) (3,1) (3,3)
%C (4,-4) (4,-2) (4,0) (4,2) (4,4)
%C (5,-5) (5,-3) (5,-1) (5,1) (5,3) (5,5)
%C (6,-6) (6,-4) (6,-2) (6,0) (6,2) (6,4) (6,6)
%C (7,-7) (7,-5) (7,-3) (7,-1) (7,1) (7,3) (7,5) (7,7)
%C For uses in linear algebra related to beam optics, a standard scheme of assigning a single index j>=1 to each double-index (n,m) has become a de-facto standard, proposed by Noll. The triangle of the j at the equivalent positions reads
%C 1,
%C 3,2,
%C 5,4,6,
%C 9,7,8,10,
%C 15,13,11,12,14,
%C 21,19,17,16,18,20,
%C 27,25,23,22,24,26,28,
%C 35,33,31,29,30,32,34,36,
%C which defines the OEIS entries. The rule of translation is that odd j are assigned to m<0, even j to m>=0, and smaller j to smaller |m|.
