A253146 A fractal tree, read by rows: for n > 2, T(n,1) = T(n-1,1)+2, T(n,n) = T(n-1,1)+3, and for k=2..n-1, T(n,k) = T(n-2,k-1). 4

%N A fractal tree, read by rows: for n > 2, T(n,1) = T(n-1,1)+2, T(n,n) = T(n-1,1)+3, and for k=2..n-1, T(n,k) = T(n-2,k-1).

%C It appears that:

%C 1) partial sums of terms, situated on the outer leftmost leftwise triangle diagonal are equal to A002061(k), k>=1;

%C 2) partial sums of terms, situated on the second (from the left) leftwise triangle diagonal represent recurrence a(k+1) = ((k-1)*a(k))/(k-3)-(2*(k+3))/(k-3), k>=3

%C 3) partial sums of terms, situated on the outer rightmost rightwise triangle diagonal are equal to A000290(k)=k^2, k>=1. - _Alexander R. Povolotsky_, Dec 28 2014

%e The idea is that the n-th term is equal to the number of terms in the n-th row of the tree. This lovely sequence (whose precise definition is not clear to me) is not yet in the OEIS. (End)

%e The sequence referred to is A253028. - _Felix Fröhlich_, May 23 2016

%t T[n_, 1] := 2n - 2;

%t T[n_, n_] := 2n - 1;

%t T[n_, k_] := T[n, k] = T[n-2, k-1];

%t Table[T[n, k], {n, 1, 12}, {k, 1, n}] // Flatten (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Sep 20 2021 *)

%o (Haskell)

%o a253146 n k = a253146_tabl !! (n-1) !! (k-1)

%o a253146_row n = a253146_tabl !! (n-1)

%o a253146_tabl = [1] : [2,3] : f [1] [2,3] where

%o f us vs@(v:_) = ws : f vs ws where

%o ws = [v + 2] ++ us ++ [v + 3]

%Y Cf. A253028. Row sums appear to be A035608.

%Y Cf. A000290, A002061.
