A220508 T(n,k) = n^2 + k if k <= n, otherwise T(n,k) = k*(k + 2) - n; square array T(n,k) read by ascending antidiagonals (n >= 0, k >= 0).

Comments

This sequence consists of 0 together with a permutation of the natural numbers. The nonnegative integers (A001477) are arranged in the successive layers from T(0,0) = 0. The n-th layer start with T(n,1) = n^2. The n-th layer is formed by the first n+1 elements of row n and the first n elements in increasing order of the column n.

The first antidiagonal is formed by odd numbers: 1, 3. The second antidiagonal is formed by even numbers: 4, 2, 8. The third antidiagonal is formed by odd numbers: 9, 5, 7, 15. And so on.

It appears that in the n-th layer there is at least a prime number <= g and also there is at least a prime number > g, where g is the number on the main diagonal, the n-th oblong number A002378(n), if n >= 1.

Formula

From Petros Hadjicostas, Mar 10 2021: (Start)

T(n,k) = (A342354(n,k) - 1)/2.

O.g.f.: (x^4*y^3 + 3*x^3*y^4 + x^4*y^2 - 10*x^3*y^3 - x^2*y^4 + 3*x^3*y^2 + x^2*y^3 - 4*x^3*y + 8*x^2*y^2 + 3*x^2*y + x*y^2 + x^2 - 10*x*y - y^2 + x + 3*y)/((1 - x)^3*(1 - y)^3*(1 - x*y)^2). (End)
