Peirce Numbers

no, sorry, the array here looks like:

|   1
|   2   1
|   5   3   2
|  15  10   7   5
|  52  37  27  20  15
| 203 151 114  87  67  52

but i seem to remember this somewhere?

Me:  This is Aitken's array, see A011971:

%I A011971
%S A011971 1,1,2,2,3,5,5,7,10,15,15,20,27,37,52,52,67,87,114,151,203,203,255,

%N A011971 Aitken's array: triangle of numbers {a(n,k), n >= 0, 0<=k<=n} defined by a(0,0)=1, a(n,0)=a(n-1,n-1), a(n,k)=a(n,k-1)+a(n-1,k-1).

%p A011971 for n from 0 to 12 do lprint([ seq(A011971(n,k),k=0..n) ]); od:
%Y A011971 Borders give Bell numbers A000110. Diagonals give A005493, A011965, A011966, etc.; A011968, A011969. Cf. A046934, A011972.
