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”).

T(n, k) is the number of steps from the point (0, 0) to the point (k, n) along the space filling curve T defined in Comments section; square array T(n, k), n, k >= 0 read by antidiagonals downwards.

COMMENTS
We consider a hexagonal lattice with X-axis and Y-axis as follows:
Y
/
/
0 ---- X
We define the family {T_n, n > 0} as follows:
- T_1 contains the origin (0, 0):
+
O
- T_2 contains the points (0, 0), (0, 1) and (1, 0), in that order:
+
/ \
/ \
+ . . +
O
- for n > 1, T_{2*n} is built from 3 copies of T_n and one copy T_{n-1} arranged as follows:
+
/ \

- for n > 0, T_{2*n+1} is built from 3 copies of T_n and one copy of T_{n+1} arranged as follows:

- for any n > 0, T_n starts at (0, 0) and ends at (n-1, n-1), and contains every point (x, y) such that x, y >= 0 and x + y < n,
- T is the limit of T_{2^k} as k tends to infinity (note that for any k >= 0, T_{2^k} is a prefix of T_{2^(k+1)}),
- T visits exactly once every point (x, y) such that x, y >= 0.
