A245964 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of maximal hypercubes Q(p) in the Lucas cube Lambda(n) (i.e., Q(p) is an induced subgraph of Lambda(n) that is not a subgraph of a subgraph of Lambda(n) that is isomorphic to the hypercube Q(p+1)).

Formula

T(n,k) = (n/k)*binomial(k,n-2k) (k>=1).

G.f.: (1+z+t*z^2+t*z^3-t*z^4)/(1-t*(1+z)*z^2).

Example

Row 4 is 0,0,2. Indeed, the Lucas cube Lambda(4) is the graph <><> obtained by identifying a vertex of a square with a vertex of another square; each square is a maximal Q(2).

Maple

T := proc (n, k) if n = 0 and k = 0 then 1 elif n = 1 and k = 0 then 1 elif k = 0 then 0 else n*binomial(k, n-2*k)/k end if end proc: for n from 0 to 20 do seq(T(n, k), k = 0 .. floor((1/2)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form

Mathematica

T[0|1, 0] = 1; T[_, 0] = 0; T[n_, k_] := (n/k)*Binomial[k, n - 2k];
