[seqfan] Re: Two triangles of numbers needing formulas, A331430 and A331431.

[Georg.Fischer]

In A331433 I also read a(5)=210 instead of 240, and
in A331434 I read a(1)=30,
which yields the generating functions:
    A331433 6/(1+x)^4
    A331434 30/(1+x)^6
and this can be continued into the following conjectures:
    Col. 3: 140/(1+x)^8
    Col. 4: 630/(1+x)^10
    Col. 5: 2772/(1+x)^12 -> 2772, -33264, 216216, -1009008, ...
The last diagonal of A331431 should read
1, 6, *30*, 140, 630, *2772*, 12012, 51480,
what makes it identical to A002457.
I think there are triangle specialists out there
who can easily melt this into a bivariate g.f. for A331431
(Ser's Table III).
