%C From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jun 10 2019: (Start)

%C According to the attached picture, the index of asymmetry here is s = 1 and the index of obliqueness (or obliquity) is e = 0.

%C In the picture, the equation G(n, e*n) = 1 becomes G(n, 0) = 1, while the equations G(n+x+1, n-e*n+e*x-e+1) = 2^x for 0 <= x < s = 1 become G(n+1, n+1) = 1 and G(n+2, n+1) = 2.

%C Also, in the picture, the recurrence G(n+s+2, k) = G(n+1, k-e*s+e-1) + Sum_{m=1..s+1} G(n+m, k-e*s+m*e-2*e) for k = 1..n+1 becomes G(n+3, k) = G(n+1, k-1) + G(n+1, k) + G(n+2, k) for k = 1..n+1.

%C Except for a shifting of the indices by 1, this array is a mirror image of array A140993. We have G(n, k) = A140993(n+1, n-k+1) for 0 <= k <= n. Triangular array A140993 has the same index of asymmetry (i.e., s = 1) but index of obliqueness e = 1.

%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jun 10 2019: (Start)

%F G(n, k) = A140993(n+1, n-k+1) for 0 <= k <= n.

%F Let A(x,y) = Sum_{n,k >= 0} G(n, k)*x^n*y^k and B(x,y) = Sum_{n,k >= 1} A140993(n, k). Then A(x, y) = x^(-1) * B(x*y, y^(-1)). Thus, the g.f. of the current array is A(x, y) = (1 - x - x^2 + x^3*y)/((1 - x) * (1 - x*y) * (1 - x - x^2 - x^2*y)).

%F To find the g.f. of the k-th column (where k >= 0), we differentiate A(x, y) k times with respect to y, divide by k!, and substitute y = 0. For example, differentiating A(x, y) once w.r.t. y and setting y = 0, we get the g.f. of the k = 1 column: x/((1 - x)*(1 - x - x^2)). This is the g.f. of sequence (A000071(n+2): n >= 0) = (Fibonacci(n+2) - 1: n >= 0).

%F G.f. of column k = 2 is x^2*(1 - x + x^3)/((1 - x)*(1 - x - x^2)^2). Thus, column k = 2 is a shifted version of (A140992(n): n >= 0).
