COMMENT

If {(X,Y,Z)} are triples of nonnegative integers with X>=Y>=Z ordered by X, Y and Z, then X=A056556(n), Y=A056557(n) and Z=A056558(n)

Contribution from Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Jul 14 2009: (Start)

This is a 'Matryoshka doll' sequence with alpha=0 (cf. A000292 and A000178),

seq(seq(seq(i,i=alpha..k),k=alpha..n),n=alpha..6). (End)

FORMULA

a(n) =n-A056556(n)*(A056556(n)+1)*(A056556(n)+2)/6-A056557(n)*(A056557(n)+1)/2 =n-A000292(A056556(n)-1)-A000217(A056557(n)) =A056557(n)-A056560(n)

a(n+1) = A056556(n)==a(n) ? 0 : A056557(n)==a(n) ? 0 : a(n)+1 - Graeme McRae (g_m(AT)mcraefamily.com), Jan 09 2007

EXAMPLE

First triangle: [0]; second triangle: [0; 0 1]; third triangle: [0; 0 1; 0 1 2]; ...

CROSSREFS

Together with A056559 and A056560 might enable reading "by antidiagonals" of cube arrays as 3-dimensional analogue of A002262 and A025581 with square arrays. Also cf. A000292, A056556, A056557.
