COMMENT

A 3-composition of n is a matrix with three rows, such that each column has at least one non zero element and whose elements sum up to n

Matrix inverse of (A000217(A004736)*A154990). [From Mats Granvik (mats.granvik(AT)abo.fi), Jan 19 2009]

(1 + 3x + 15x^2 + 73x^3 + ...) = 1/(1-3x-6x^2-10x^3-15x^4 - ...). [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 27 2009]
