Losanitsch's Triangle

(1)

Losanitsch's triangle (OEIS A034851) is a number triangle for which each term is the sum of the two numbers immediately above it, except that, numbering the rows by , 1, 2, ... and the entries in each row by , 1, 2, ..., , are given by the recurrence equations

where  is a binomial coefficient.

 can be written in closed form as
