A180918 'DPE(n,k)' triangle read by rows. DPE(n,k) is the number of k-double-palindromes of n up to cyclic equivalence. 5

%N 'DPE(n,k)' triangle read by rows. DPE(n,k) is the number of k-double-palindromes of n up to cyclic equivalence.

%C A k-composition of n is an ordered collection of k positive integers (parts) which sum to n. Two k-compositions of n are cyclically equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a cyclic permutation of its parts.

%C A palindrome is a word which is the same when written backwards.

%C A k-double-palindrome of n is a k-composition of n which is the concatenation of two palindromes, PP'=P|P', where both |P|, |P'|>=1.

%C See sequence A180653. For example 1123532=11|23532 is a 7-double-palindrome of 17 since both 11 and 23532 are palindromes.

%C Let DPE(n,k) denote the number of k-double-palindromes of n up to cyclic equivalence.

%C This sequence is the 'DPE(n,k)' triangle read by rows.

%F T(n, 1) = 0; T(n, k) = A119963(n,k) for k > 1.

%e The triangle begins:

%e 0

%e 0 1

%e 0 1 1

%e 0 2 1 1

%e 0 2 2 1 1

%e 0 3 2 3 1 1

%e 0 3 3 3 3 1 1

%e 0 4 3 6 3 4 1 1

%e 0 4 4 6 6 4 4 1 1

%e 0 5 4 10 6 10 4 5 1 1

%e ...

%e For example, row 8 is: 0 4 3 6 3 4 1 1.

%e We have DPE(8,3)=3 because there are 3 3-double-palindromes of 8 up to cyclic equivalence: {116, 611}, {224, 422}, and {233, 332}.

%e We have DPE(8,4)=6 because there are 6 4-double-palindromes of 8: up to cyclic equivalence: {1115, 5111, 1511, 1151}, {1214, 4121, 1412, 2141}, {1133, 3311}, {1313, 3131}, {1232, 2123, 3212, 2321}, and {2222}.

%o (PARI) T(n, k) = {if(k<=1, 0, binomial((n-k%2)\2, k\2))} \\ _Andrew Howroyd_, Sep 27 2019

%Y Row sums are A027383(n-1).

%Y If we remove the cyclic equivalence requirement, and just count k-double-palindromes of n, then we get sequence A180653.

%Y If we replace the left hand column of 0's by 1's in the triangle above, we get the triangle 'RE(n, k)' where RE(n, k) is the number of k-reverses of n up to cyclic equivalence, see the McSorley reference above for more details and also sequence A119963.

%Y See sequence A179181 for the triangle whose (n, k) term gives the number of k-palindromes (single-palindromes) of n up to cyclic equivalence.
