COMMENTS

In the Frey-Sellers reference this array is called {n over r}_{m-1}, with m=5.

The step width sequence of this staircase array is [1,4,4,4,....], i.e. the degree of the row polynomials is [0,4,8,12,...]= A008586.

The columns r=0..7 (without leading zeros) give A000012 (powers of 1), A000027 (natural), A000217 (triangular), A000292 (tetrahedral), A000332(4+n), A062988-A062990.

FORMULA

a(0, 0)=1, a(n, -1)=0, n >= 1; a(n, r)=0 if r>4*n; a(n, r)=a(n, r-1)+a(n-1, r) else.

G.f. for column r=4*k+j, k >= 0, j=1, 2, 3, 4: (x^(k+1))*N(5; k, x)/(1-x)^(4*k+1+j), with row polynomials of array A062986.

EXAMPLE

{1}; {1,1,1,1,1}; {1,2,3,4,5,5,5,5,5}; ...; N(5; 1,x)=5-10*x+10*x^2-5*x^3+x^4.
