A307303 Triangle T(n, k) read as upwards antidiagonals of array A, where A(n, k) is the number of families (also called classes) of proper solutions of the Pell equation x^2 - D(n)*y^2 = -k, for k >= 1. 2

COMMENTS
For details see A324252 which gives the array for the numbers of families of proper solutions of x^2 - D(n)*y^2 = k for positive integers k. See also the W. Lang link in A324251, section 3.
The D(n) values for nonzero entries in column k = 1 are given in A003814 (representation of -1).
The position list for nonzero entries in row n = 1 is A057126 (conjecture).

FORMULA
T(n, k) = A(n-k+1, k) for 1 <= k <= n, with A(n,k) the number of proper (positive) fundamental solutions of the Pell equation x^2 - D(n)*y^2 = -k for k >= 1, with D(n) = A000037(n), for n >= 1. Each such fundamental solution generates a family of proper solutions.
EXAMPLE
The array A(n, k) begins:
n, D(n) \k 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ...

For this triangle more than the shown columns of the array have been used.

A(5, 6) = 2 = T(10, 6) because D(5) = 7, and the Pell form F(5) with disc(F(5)) = 4*7 = 28 representing k = -6 has 2 families (classes) of proper solutions generated from the two positive fundamental positive solutions (x10, y10) = (13, 5) and (x20, y20) = (1, 1). They are obtained from the trivial solutions of the parallel forms [-6, 2, 1] and [-6, 10, -3], respectively.
