COMMENTS

The tribonacci sequence has a repeated pattern even, even, odd, odd. Its difference sequence alternates between even and odd. The second difference sequence consists only of odd numbers. The third or higher difference sequence consists only of even numbers. It follows that rows a(n) in the Trithoff array, for n > 2, contain all even numbers.

EXAMPLE
|
Consider the tribonacci sequence A000073: 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, .... Its first difference sequence is sequence A001590: 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, ... This sequence follows the tribonacci rule and its tail starting from number 3 is the second row of the Trithoff array A136175. Thus, a(1) = 2.
