%N Integers n such that sigma(binomial(n,k)) = sigma(binomial(n-1,k-1)) + sigma(binomial(n-1,k)) for some k.

%C Consider the triangle formed by replacing each m in Pascal's triangle with sigma(m). Then this sequence consists of the row indices where there is a term that is equal to the sum of its NW and N neighbors as in a Pascal triangle.

%e Here is the triangle also described in A074801.

%e 1,

%e 1, 1,

%e 1, 3, 1,

%e 1, 4, 4, 1,

%e 1, 7, 12, 7, 1,

%e 1, 6, 18, 18, 6, 1,

%e On row index 3, we have 4 which is the sum of 1 and 3 its NW and N neighbors.

%e So a(1)= 3, and its column index is 1 which will be corresponding value in A284169.

%o (PARI) T(n, k) = sigma(binomial(n, k));

%o isokT(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + T (n-1, k) == T(n, k);

%o isokn(n) = for (k=1, n-1, if (isokT(n,k), return(1)));

%Y Cf. A000203, A007318, A074801, A284169.
