%C The PARI functions t1, t2 can be used to read a triangular array T(n,k) (n >= 2, 1 <= k <= n - 1) by rows from left to right: n -> T(t1(n), t2(n)). - _Michael Somos_, Aug 23 2002

%C Smallest integer such that n-1 <= C(a(n),2). - _Frank Ruskey_, Nov 06 2007

%C a(n) = inverse (frequency distribution) sequence of A161680. - _Jaroslav Krizek_, Jun 19 2009

%C Taken as a triangle t(n, m) with offset 1, i.e., n >= m >= 1, this gives all positive integer limits r = r (a = m, b = A063929(n, m)) of the (a,b)-Fibonacci ratio F(a,b;k+1)/F(a,b;k) for k -> infinity. See the Jan 11 2015 comment on A063929. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 12 2015

%C Square array, T(n,k) = n + k + 2, n > = 0 and k >= 0, read by antidiagonals. Northwest corner:

%C 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

%C 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

%C 4, 5, 6, 7, ...

%C 5, 6, 7, 8, ...

%C ... - _Franck Maminirina Ramaharo_, Nov 21 2018

%C a(n) is the pair chromatic number of an empty graph with n vertices. (The pair chromatic number of a graph G is the smallest number of colors for which G has a coloring where every vertex has two distinct colors, no adjacent vertices have a common color, and no pair of colors is repeated.) - _Allan Bickle_, Dec 26 2021

%F a(n) = A002260(n) + A004736(n).

%F a(n) = A002024(n-1) + 1 = floor(sqrt(2*(n - 1)) + 1/2) + 1 = round(sqrt(2*(n - 1))) + 1. - Antonio G. Astudillo (afg_astudillo(AT)lycos.com), Apr 21 2003

%F a(n) = ceiling((sqrt(8*n - 7) + 1)/2). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Aug 28 2001, modified by _Frank Ruskey_, Nov 06 2007, restored by _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 13 2015

%F a(n) = A080036(n-1) - (n - 1) for n >= 2. - _Jaroslav Krizek_, Jun 19 2009

%F G.f.: (2*x^2 + Sum_{n>=2} x^(n*(n - 1)/2 + 2))/(1 - x) = (x^2 + x^(15/8)*theta_2(0,sqrt(x))/2)/(1 - x) where theta_2 is the second Jacobi theta function. - _Robert Israel_, Jan 12 2015

%e (a,b)-Fibonacci ratio limits r(a,b) (see a comment above): as a triangle with offset 1 one has t(3, m) = 4 for m = 1, 2, 3. This gives the limits r(a = m,b = A063929(3, m)), i.e., r(1,12) = r(2,8) = r(3,4) = 4 (and the limit 4 appears only for these three (a,b) values). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 12 2015
