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”).

Triangle read by rows: row n gives y transposed, where y is the solution to the matrix equation M*y=b, where the matrix M and vector b are defined by M(i,j) = ((2^(i+1) + 1)^(j-1) + 1)/2 and b(i) = ((2^(i+1)+1)^n + 1)/2 for 1 <= i,j <= n.

%N Triangle read by rows: row n gives y transposed, where y is the solution to the matrix equation M*y=b, where the matrix M and vector b are defined by M(i,j) = ((2^(i+1) + 1)^(j-1) + 1)/2 and b(i) = ((2^(i+1)+1)^n + 1)/2 for 1 <= i,j <= n.

%C The matrix M is given by A266577.

%C The solution is unique and has an explicit formula as shown by _Max Alekseyev_, see the MathOverflow link.

%C Conjecture: as m approaches infinity, the point continuation of the inverse hyperbolic sine scatterplot of the first m*(m+1)/2 terms of this sequence approaches a perfect circular sector with an angle equal to 2*Pi/9. See the last scatterplot in the graph section. - _Ahmad J. Masad_, Jun 02 2022
