[seqfan] Re: Conway's subprime Fibonacci sequences

[Wouter Meeussen]

Hans,

anti-diagonal (up) see https://oeis.org/A073189/a073189.txt: 
{1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9, 10}, ..

as index-pairs: {row,col} :

{1, 1}, 
{2, 1}, {1, 2},
{3, 1}, {2, 2}, {1, 3},
...

as in

a      c      f
|   /       /
b      e
     /
d

see? they cover the whole square array.
Your two examples are limited to the upper or lower triangular half of it,
and it ain't symmetric.

Wouter.

I have to betray my ignorance of not knowing what 'anti-diagonal  
order' meant exactly. In trying to figure it out (for positive  
integers), I conjectured that it is either {{1,1}, {1,2}, {2,2},  
{1,3}, {2,3}, {3,3}, {1,4}, ...} or {{1,1}, {2,1}, {2,2}, {3,1},  
{3,2}, {3,3}, {4,1}, ...}. But Wouter's A214892-A214896 appears to  
employ two from the former ({10,18}, {23,162}} and three from the  
latter ({4,1}, {18,5}, {382,127}). So I'm still confused.
