%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of compositions of n with parts in {1,4} and having asymmetry degree equal to k (n>=0; 0<=k<=floor(n/4)).

%C The asymmetry degree of a finite sequence of numbers is defined to be the number of pairs of symmetrically positioned distinct entries. Example: the asymmetry degree of (2,7,6,4,5,7,3) is 2, counting the pairs (2,3) and (6,5).

%C Number of entries in row n is 1 + floor(n/5).

%C Sum of entries in row n is A003269(n+1).

%C T(n,0) = A226517(n+10)

%C Sum(k*T(n,k), k>=0) = A276063(n).

%F G.f.: G(t,z) = (1+z +z^4)/(1-z^2-2tz^5-z^8). In the more general situation of compositions into a[1]<a[2]<a[3]<..., denoting F(z) = Sum(z^{a[j]},j>=1}, we have G(t,z) =(1 + F(z))/(1 - F(z^2) - t(F(z)^2 - F(z^2))). In particular, for t=0 we obtain Theorem 1.2 of the Hoggatt et al. reference.

%e Row 6 is [2,2] because the compositions of 6 with parts in {1,4} are 411, 141, 114, and 111111, having asymmetry degrees 1, 0, 1, and 0, respectively.
