Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Absolute difference table of the divisors of the positive integers (with every table read by antidiagonals upwards).
%C This is an irregular tetrahedron T(n,j,k) in which the slice n lists the elements of the j-th antidiagonal of the absolute difference triangle of the divisors of n.
%C The first row of the slice n is also the n-th row of the triangle A027750.
%C The bottom entry of the slice n is A187203(n).
%C The number of elements in the n-th slice is A000217(A000005(n)) = A184389(n).
%C The sum of the elements of the n-th slice is A187215(n).
%C If n is a power of 2 the antidiagonals are also the divisors of the powers of 2 from 1 to n, for example if n = 8 the finite sequence of andiagonals is [1], [1, 2], [1, 2, 4], [1, 2, 4, 8].
%C First differs from A272210 at a(89).
%C Note that this sequence is not the absolute values of A272210. For example a(131) = 0 and A272210(131) = 4.
%e The tables of the first nine positive integers are
%e 1; 1, 2; 1, 3; 1, 2, 4; 1, 5; 1, 2, 3, 6; 1, 7; 1, 2, 4, 8; 1, 3, 9;

%e For n = 18 the absolute difference table of the divisors of 18 is

%e This table read by antidiagonals upwards gives the finite subsequence [1], [1, 2], [0, 1, 3], [2, 2, 3, 6], [0, 2, 0, 3, 9], [4, 4, 6, 6, 9, 18].
