%C A002260 As a rectangular array, row n is (n,n,n,...); this is the weight array
(Cf. A144112) of the array A127779 (rectangular). [From Clark Kimberling
(ck6(AT)evansville.edu), Sep 16 2008]
%C A002260 Consider polynomials D(n,z)=sum[((n+2)^2-i^2)*z^(i-1))/i ,i=1,2,..,n+1.
Coefficients are 3,8,5/2,15,6=12/2,7/3,24,21/2,16/3,9/4,35,16=32/
2,9=27/3,5=20/4,11/5, =A120070/A002260. In A129326=3,5,14,54,. (A120070
leads to Rydberg's formula for spectra of hydrogen). Does this family
correspond to a natural phenomena ? Same question with denominators
A002260^2=A133819. Remark: in dimension 2, polynomials are P(0,x,
y)=3*a1, P(1,x,y)=8*a1+(5/2)*(a2*x+a3*y), P(2,x,y)=15*a1+6*(a2*x+a3*y)+(7/
3)*(a4*x^2+a5*x*y+a6*y^2), .. where ai's are parameters. From transformed
saddle-points formulae.See reference. [From Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr),

%C A002260 Contribution from Clark Kimberling (ck6(AT)evansville.edu), Nov 02 2009:
(Start)
%C A002260 The upper trim of an arbitrary fractal sequence s is s, but the lower
trim
%C A002260 of s, although a fractal sequence, need not be s itself. However, the
%C A002260 lower trim of A002260 is A002260. (The upper trim of s is what remains
%C A002260 after the first occurrence of each term is deleted; the lower trim of
s
%C A002260 is what remains after all 0s are deleted from the sequence s-1.) (End)
