%N A number triangle T(n,k) read by rows for 0<=k<=n, related to the Taylor expansion of f(u, p) = (1/2)*(1+1/(sqrt(1-u^2)))*exp(p*sqrt(1-u^2)).

%C The function f(u, p) = (1/2)*(1+1/(sqrt(1-u^2))) * exp(p*sqrt(1-u^2)) was found while studying the Fresnel-Kirchhoff and the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld theories of diffraction, see the Meijer link.

%C The Taylor expansion of f(u, p) leads to the number triangle T(n, k), see the example section.

%C Normalization of the triangle terms, dividing the T(n, k) by T(n-k, 0), leads to A084534.

%C The row sums equal A003436, n >= 2, respectively A231622, n >= 1.
