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: T(0,0) = 1; T(n,k) = 2 T(n-1,k) - T(n-4,k-1) for 0 <= k <= floor(n/4); T(n,k)=0 for n or k < 0.

%C The numbers in rows of the triangle are along "third layer" skew diagonals pointing top-right in center-justified triangle given in A065109 ((2-x)^n) and along "third layer" skew diagonals pointing top-left in center-justified triangle given in A303872 ((-1+2x)^n), see links. (Note: First layer skew diagonals in center-justified triangles of coefficients in expansions of (2-x)^n and (-1+2x)^n are given in A133156 (coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind) and A305098 respectively.) The coefficients in the expansion of 1/(1-2x+x^4) are given by the sequence generated by the row sums. The row sums give A008937. If s(n) is the row sum at n, then the ratio s(n)/s(n-1) is approximately 1.83928675521416113... (A058265: Decimal expansion of the tribonacci constant t, the real root of x^3-x^2-x-1), when n approaches infinity.
