COMMENT

Closely related to A109439. The current sequence is made of truncated triangular numbers, the latter gives the full description. Both can help to build a cube with layers perpendicular to the great diagonal. E.g.: 15,18,19,18,15 in A008867 is a truncation of the lesser triangular numbers of 1,3,6,10,15,18,19,18,15,10,6,3,1 in A109439. - M. Dauchez (mdzzdm(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 02 2005
