COMMENT

The PARI functions t1, t2 can be used to read a triangular array T(n,k) (n >= 1, 1 <= k <= n) by rows from left to right: n -> T(t1(n), t2(n)). - Michael Somos, Aug 23, 2002

The PARI functions t1, t3 can be used to read a triangular array T(n,k) (n >= 1, 1 <= k <= n) by rows from right to left: n -> T(t1(n), t3(n)). - Michael Somos, Aug 23, 2002

The PARI functions t1, t4 can be used to read a triangular array T(n,k) (n >= 1, 0 <= k <= n-1) by rows from left to right: n -> T(t1(n), t4(n)). - Michael Somos, Aug 23, 2002

Integer inverse function of the triangular numbers A000217.

Array T(k,n) = n+k-1 read by antidiagonals.
