%N Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of subparts in the k-th part of the symmetric representation of sigma(n).
%C The "subparts" of the symmetric representation of sigma(n) are the regions that arise after the dissection of the symmetric representation of sigma(n) into successive layers of width 1.
%C The number of subparts in the symmetric representation of sigma(n) equals the number of odd divisors of n.
%C For more information about "subparts" see A279387, A279388 and A279391.
%C Note that we can find the symmetric representation of sigma(n) as the terraces at the n-th level (starting from the top) of the stepped pyramid described in A245092.

%e For n = 12 we have that the 11th row of triangle A237593 is [6, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 6] and the 12th row of the same triangle is [7, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 7], so the diagram of the symmetric representation of sigma(12) = 28 is constructed as shown below in Figure 1:
