%C Let N=2*n+1 and k=1,2,...,n. Let A_{N,n-1} = [0,...,0,1; 0,...,0,1,1; ...; 0,1,...,1; 1,...,1], an n X n unit-primitive matrix (see [Jeffery]). Let M_n=[A_{N,n-1}]^4. Then t(n,k)=[M_n]_(1,k), that is, the n-th row of the triangle is given by the first row of M_n. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Nov 20 2011

%C Conjecture. Let N=2*n+1 and k=1,...,n. Let A_{N,0}, A_{N,1}, ..., A_{N,n-1} be the n X n unit-primitive matrices (again see [Jeffery]) associated with N, and define the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind by the recurrence U_0(x) = 1, U_1(x) = 2*x and U_r(x) = 2*x*U_(r-1)(x) - U_(r-2)(x) (r>1). Define the column vectors V_(k-1) = (U_(k-1)(cos(Pi/N)), U_(k-1)(cos(3*Pi/N)), ..., U_(k-1)(cos((2*n-1)*Pi/N)))^T, where T denotes matrix transpose. Let S_N = [V_0, V_1, ..., V_(n-1)] be the n X n matrix formed by taking V_(k-1) as column k-1. Let X_N = [S_N]^T*S_N, and let [X_N]_(i,j) denote the entry in row i and column j of X_N, i,j in {0,...,n-1}. Then t(n,k) = [X_N]_(k-1,k-1), and row n of the triangle is given by the main diagonal entries of X_N. Remarks: Hence t(n,k) is the sum of squares t(n,k) = sum[m=1,...,n (U_(k-1)(cos((2*m-1)*Pi/N)))^2]. Finally, this sequence is related to A057059, since X_N = [sum_{m=1,...,n} A057059(n,m)*A_{N,m-1}] is also an integral linear combination of unit-primitive matrices from the N-th set. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Jan 20 2012

%C Row sums: n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Jan 25 2013

%C n-th row = partial sums of n-th row of A004736. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Aug 04 2014

%C T(n,k) is the number of distinct sums made by at most k elements in {1, 2, ... n}, for 1 <= k <= n, e.g., T(6,2) = the number of distinct sums made by at most 2 elements in {1,2,3,4,5,6}. The sums range from 1, to 5+6=11. So there are 11 distinct sums. - _Derek Orr_, Nov 26 2014

%C A number n occurs in this sequence A001227(n) times, the number of odd divisors of n, see A209260. - _Hartmut F. W. Hoft_, Apr 14 2016

%C Conjecture: 2*n + 1 is composite if and only if gcd(t(n,m),m) != 1, for some m. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Jan 30 2018

%C From _Peter Munn_, Aug 21 2019 in respect of the sequence read as a triangle: (Start)

%C A number m can be found in column k if and only if A286013(m, k) is nonzero, in which case m occurs in column k on row A286013(m, k).

%C The first occurrence of m is in row A212652(m) column A109814(m), which is the rightmost column in which m occurs. This occurrence determines where m appears in A209260. The last occurrence of m is in row m column 1.

%C Viewed as a sequence of rows, consider the subsequences (of rows) that contain every positive integer. The lexicographically latest of these subsequences consists of the rows with row numbers in A270877; this is the only one that contains its own row numbers only once.
