%F From _Sean A. Irvine_, Mar 12 2017: (Start)

%F A079502 can be constructed one row at a time from the corresponding row of A050447. For row n, construct up to the n-th difference sequence of row n in A050447, retaining the first element of each difference sequence. Row n of A079502 is then constructed backwards (i.e., starting with A079502(n,n) and computing down to A079502(n,2)) from the first element of the n-th difference sequence, then successively subtracting the first element of the previous difference sequences. More precisely, let R_n denote the n-th row of A050447 augmented with R_n(1) = 0, and R_n^(d) the d-th difference of that row, such that R_n^(0)(m) = R_n(m) and R_n^(k)(m) = R_n^(k-1)(m+1) - R_n^(k-1)(m). Row n of A079502 is then T(n,n) = R_n^(n)(0) and for m < n, T(n,m) = R_n^(n)(0) - T(n,m+1).

%F For example, starting with row 4 of A050447: [0], 1, 8, 31, 85, 190, 371, ..., we construct up to order 4 difference sequences: first-differences 1, 7, 23, 54, 105, 181, ...; second-differences 6, 16, 31, 51, 76, ...; third-differences 10, 15, 20, 25, ...; fourth-differences 5, 5, 5, ... (constant). Only the first elements of these difference sequences are needed. Thus T(4,4) = 5, T(4,3) = 10 - 5 = 5, T(4,2) = 6 - (10 - 5) = 1, T(4,1) = 1 - (6 - (10 - 5)) = 0. (End)
