A376000 Numbers that can be written as a Narayana number (A001263) in at least 2 ways.

1, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 50, 55, 66, 78, 91, 105, 120, 136, 153, 171, 190, 196, 210, 231, 253, 276, 300, 325, 336, 351, 378, 406, 435, 465, 490, 496, 528, 540, 561, 595, 630, 666, 703, 741, 780, 820, 825, 861, 903, 946, 990, 1035, 1081, 1128, 1176, 1210

Comments

All Narayana numbers A001263(n,k) with n != 2*k-1, are terms since A001263(n,k) = A001263(n,n+1-k). In particular, all positive triangular numbers except 3 are terms. Are there any other terms, i.e., is there a number A001263(2*k-1,k), k >= 2, that can be written as a Narayana number in another way? Any such number would also be a term of A376001.
