[seqfan] Re: Mathematica code for A050446.

[Chris]

Hi Ed,

The code generates a list (triangle) of antidiagonals of the table read from
bottom left to top right and then flattens it to produce the sequence.

Best regards,
Chris Gribble

Subject: [seqfan] Mathematica code for A050446.

Could someone please verify the Mathematica code for A050446
(https://oeis.org/A050446) and let me know if it correctly generates the
table given in the example there? I can't get the right table using Mathcad
even single-stepping through the calculations according to that code. The
Mathematica code is:

t[n_, m_?Positive] := t[n, m] = t[n, m-1] + Sum[t[2k, m-1]*t[n-1 - 
2k, m], {k, 0, (n-1)/2}]; t[n_, 0] = 1; Table[t[i-k , k-1], {i, 1, 12}, 
{k, 1, i}] // Flatten

I think the second part of the code, Table[t[etc.]], which I can't do in
Mathcad, just reads the array t[n,m] by anti-diagonals transforming the
array into a table, although I have no experience with Mathematica. I also
assumed that the implied range for k in the summation is {k, 0,
floor((n-1)/2)}, since in the summation using Mathcad I have to have (n-1)/2
a positive integer. Maybe someone could take a minute to give me a detailed
description of what that code actually does, since evidently I have
misunderstood it somehow.


Thanks in advance,

Ed Jeffery
