Comments

Depending on some fixed integer m there is a family of number triangles T(m; n,k) for 0 <= k <= n with entries: T(m; n,0) = 1 for n >= 0 and T(m; n,k) = binomial(n-1,k-1)*(m*k*(n-k) + n)/k for 0 < k <= n.

Special cases: m=0 (A007318), m=1 (A103450), and m=2 (this triangle).

Further properties: T(m; n,n) = 1 for n >= 0; T(m; n,k) = T(m; n,n-k) for 0 <= k <= n; T(m; 2*n,n) = A000108(n)*A086270(m,n+1) for n >= 0 and m > 0.

T(m; n,k) = T(m; n-1,k) + T(m; n-1,k-1) + m*binomial(n-2,k-1) for 0 < k < n.

G.f. of column k: (1 + m*k*x) * x^k / (1 - x)^(k+1).

G.f.: A(x, t) = (1 - (1+x)*t + m*x*t^2) / (1 - (1+x)*t)^2.

T(m; n,k) = [x^k] (1 + (m*n - m + 2)*x + x^2) * (1 + x)^(n-2) for n > 0.

Formula

T(n, n) = 1; T(n, k) = T(n, n-k).

T(2*n, n) = (n+1)^2 * A000108(n).

T(n, k) = T(n-1, k) + T(n-1, k-1) + 2 * binomial(n-2,k-1) for 0 < k < n.

G.f. of column k: (1 + 2*k*x) * x^k / (1 - x)^(k+1).

G.f.: A(x,t) = (1 - (1 + x) * t + 2 * x * t^2) / (1 - (1 + x) * t)^2.

T(n,k) = [x^k] (1 + 2 * n * x + x^2) * (1 + x)^(n-2) for n > 0.
