A288530 Triangle read by rows in reverse order: T(n,k), (0 <= k <= n), in which each term is the least nonnegative integer such that no row, column, diagonal, or antidiagonal contains a repeated term. 5

%N Triangle read by rows in reverse order: T(n,k), (0 <= k <= n), in which each term is the least nonnegative integer such that no row, column, diagonal, or antidiagonal contains a repeated term.

%C Note that the n-th row of this triangle is constructed from right to left, starting at the column n and ending at the column 0.

%C Theorem 1: the middle diagonal gives A000004, the all-zeros sequence.

%C Theorem 2: all zeros are in the middle diagonal.

%C For the proofs of the theorems 1 and 2 see the proofs of the theorems 1 and 2 of A274650, because this is essentially the same problem.

%C Conjecture 3: every column is a permutation of the nonnegative integers.

%C Conjecture 4: every diagonal is a permutation of the right border which gives the nonnegative integers.

%F T(n,k) = A288531(n+1, k+1) - 1.

%F T(n,n) = n.

%e Note that every row of the triangle is constructed from right to left, so the sequence is 0, 1, 2, 2, 0, 3, ... (see below):

%e 0,

%e 2, 1,

%e 3, 0, 2,

%e 5, 4, 1, 3,

%e 1, 2, 0, 5, 4, Every row is constructed

%e 7, 6, 4, 1, 3, 5, <--- from right to left.

%e 9, 8, 3, 0, 2, 4, 6,

%e 6, 10, 5, 4, 1, 9, 8, 7,

%e 11, 9, 7, 2, 0, 3, 5, 6, 8,

%e 4, 3, 12, 8, 6, 2, 11, 10, 7, 9,

%e 15, 5, 14, 13, 12, 0, 7, 8, 6, 11, 10,

%e 13, 12, 16, 15, 8, 6, 1, 5, 10, 7, 9, 11,

%e 16, 14, 13, 7, 5, 11, 0, 3, 9, 6, 8, 10, 12,

%e ...

%e The triangle may be reformatted as an isosceles triangle so that the all-zeros sequence (A000004) appears in the central column (but note that this is NOT the way the triangle is constructed!):

%e .

%e . 0,

%e . 2, 1,

%e , 3, 0, 2,

%e . 5, 4, 1, 3,

%e . 1, 2, 0, 5, 4,

%e . 7, 6, 4, 1, 3, 5,

%e . 9, 8, 3, 0, 2, 4, 6,

%e ...

%e Also the triangle may be reformatted for reading from left to right:

%e .

%e . 0;

%e . 1, 2;

%e . 2, 0, 3;

%e . 3, 1, 4, 5;

%e . 4, 5, 0 , 2, 1;

%e . 5, 3, 1, 4, 6, 7;

%e . 6, 4, 2, 0, 3, 8, 9;

%e ...

%Y Middle diagonal gives A000004.

%Y Right border gives A001477.

%Y Indices of the zeros are in A046092.

%Y Cf. A288531 is the same triangle but with 1 added to every entry.

%Y Other sequences of the same family are A269526, A274528, A274650, A274651, A274820, A274821, A286297.
