A230150 Irregular triangle read by rows: Possible numbers of pieces resulting from cutting a convex n-sided polygon along all its diagonals. 1

%I #28 Jan 24 2014 11:27:24

%S 1,4,11,24,25,47,48,49,50,80,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,137

%N Irregular triangle read by rows: Possible numbers of pieces resulting from cutting a convex n-sided polygon along all its diagonals.

%C Beginning from number of sides equal to 18 the terms no longer increase between rows. For example, the number of pieces for the regular 18-gon is fewer than the number of pieces for regular 17-gon.

%C Obviously there exists a number k_0 such that k_0 is not in the sequence and k is in the sequence for all k > k_0.

%F a(n,s_1,...,s_m) = A006522(n) - sum_{k=1}^m s_k*k*(k+1)/2, where m = floor(n/2)-2 and s_k denotes number of inner points in which exactly k+2 diagonals are intersected.

%e The beginning of the irregular triangle is:
