Comments

The vertex set of the Lucas cube H_n is the set of all binary strings of length n without consecutive 1's and without strings that start and end with 1. Two vertices are adjacent if their strings differ in exactly one bit.

Sum of entries in row n (n>=1) is the Lucas number L(n) = F(n-1)+F(n+1), where F(n) = A000045(n) are the Fibonacci numbers.

Sum(k*T(n,k), k=0..n) = 2*n*F(n-1) = 2*A099920(n-1).

Formula

G.f.: ((1+(1-t)*z+t^2*z^2+(1-t)*t*z^3-t*(1-t)^2*z^4)/((1-t*z)*(1-t*z^2)-t*z^3)

If n>=2 then T(n,k) = sum(2*binomial(i,2i+k-n)*binomial(n-2i-1,k-i)+binomial(i-1,2i+k-n)*binomial(n-2i,k-i), i=0..k). Recall that binomial(m,k)=0 if k<0.

Example

Row 2 is 0,2,1 because the Lucas cube H_2 is  the path-tree P_3 having 2 vertices of degree 1 and 1 vertex of degree 2.
Row 3 is 0,3,0,1 because the Lucas cube H_3 is the star tree with 4 vertices; the vertex degrees are 1, 1, 1, and 3.

Maple

G := (1+(1-t)*z+z^2*t^2+(1-t)*z^3*t-(1-t)^2*z^4*t)/((1-t*z)*(1-z^2*t)-z^3*t): Gserz := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 20)): T := proc (n, k) options operator, arrow: coeff(coeff(Gserz, z, n), t, k) end proc: for n from 0 to 15 do seq(T(n, k), k = 0 .. n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
