A239829 Triangular array: T(n,k) = number of partitions of 2n - 1 that have alternating sum 2k - 1. 20

COMMENTS
Suppose that p, with parts x(1) >= x(2) >= ... >= x(k), is a partition of n. Define AS(p), the alternating sum of p, by x(1) - x(2) + x(3) - ... + ((-1)^(k-1))*x(k); note that AS(p) has the same parity as n. Column 1 is given by T(n,1) = (number of partitions of 2n-1 having AS(p) = 1) = A000070(n) for n >= 1. Columns 2 and 3 are essentially A000098 and A103924, and the limiting column (after deleting initial 0's), A000712. The sum of numbers in row n is A000041(2n-1). The corresponding array for partitions into distinct parts is given by A152157 (defined as the number of partitions of 2n+1 into 2k+1 odd parts).

EXAMPLE
First nine rows:
1
2 ... 1
4 ... 2 ... 1
7 ... 5 ... 2 ... 1
12 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
19 .. 19 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
30 .. 33 .. 20 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
45 .. 57 .. 36 .. 20 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
67 .. 92 .. 64 .. 36 .. 20 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
The partitions of 5 are 5, 41, 32, 311, 221, 2111, 11111, with respective alternating sums 5, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, so that row 2 of the array is 4 .. 2 .. 1.
