COMMENTS

The Lucas cube Lambda(n) can be defined as the graph whose vertices are the binary strings of length n without either two consecutive 1's or a 1 in the first and in the last position, and in which two vertices are adjacent when their Hamming distance is exactly 1.
The number of entries in row n is equal to n if n is even and equal to n-1 if n is odd.
The entries in row n are the coefficients of the Hosoya polynomial of the Lucas cube Lambda(n).
T(n,1) = A099920(n-1) = number of edges in Lambda(n).
Sum(kT(n,k), k>=1) = A238420(n) = the Wiener index of Lambda(n).

FORMULA
|
G.f.: tz^2(2+t-z+tz-3tz^2+tz^3+tz^4)/((1+tz)(1-z-tz-z^2-tz^2+tz^3)(1-z-z^2)). Derived from Theorem 4.3 of the Klavzar-Mollard reference in which the g.f. of the ordered Hosoya polynomials is given.

EXAMPLE

Row 2 is 2,1. Indeed, Lambda(2) is the path-tree P(3) having vertex-pair distances 1,1, and 2.
