COMMENTS

A Fishburn matrix of size n is defined to be an upper-triangular matrix with nonnegative integer entries which sum to n and each row and each column contains a nonzero entry. See A022493. Here we are considering Fishburn matrices where the nonzero entries are all odd.

The g.f. for primitive Fishburn matrices (i.e., Fishburn matrices with entries restricted to the set {0,1}), is F(x) = Sum_{n>=0} Product_{k=1..n} ( 1 - 1/(1 + x)^k ). See A138265. Let C(x) = x/(1 - x^2) = x + x^3 + x^5 + x^7 + .... Then applying Lemma 2.2.22 of Goulden and Jackson gives the g.f. for this sequence as the composition F(C(x)).

FORMULA
