COMMENTS
Construct the infinite-dimensional matrix representation of angular momentum operators (J_1,J_2,J_3) in Jordan-Schwinger form (cf. Harter, Klee, Schwinger). The triangle terms T(n,k)=T(2j,j+m) satisfy:(1/4)T(2j,j+m) = <j,m|J_1^2|j,m> = <j,m|J_2^2|j,m>. Matrices for J_1^2 and J_2^2 are sparse. These diagonal equalities and the off-diagonal equalities of A268759 determine the only nonzero entries. Comments on A268759 provide a conjecture for the clear interpretation of these numbers in the context of binomial coefficients and other geometrical sequences. - Bradley Klee, Feb 20 2016
This sequence appears in the probability of the coin tossing "Gambler's Ruin". Call the probability of winning a coin toss = p, and the probability of losing the toss is 1-p = q, and call z = q/p. A gambler starts with $1, and tosses for $1 stakes till he has $0 (ruin) or has $n (wins). The average time T_win_lose(n) of a game (win OR lose) is a well-known function of z and n. The probability of the gambler winning P_win(n) is also known, and is equal to (1-z)/(1-z^n). T_win(n) defined as the average time it takes the gambler to win such a game is not so well known (I have not found it in the literature). I calculated T_win(n) and found it to be T_win(n) = P_win(n) * Sum_{m=0..n} T(n,m) * z^m. - Steve Newman, Oct 24 2016

FORMULA
T(n,m) = n + 2*m*(n-m).
Square array A(n,m) = 2*n*m + n + m, read by antidiagonals, satisfying 2*A(n,m) + 1 = (2*n+1)*(2*m+1) = A005408(n)*A005408(m) = A098353(n+1,m+1). - Rainer Rosenthal, Oct 01 2022
