FORMULA
a(n) = A004736(n)^2
G.f. as triangle: x*(1+x)/((1-x*y)*(1-x)^3). - Robert Israel, Jan 18 2018
EXAMPLE
1; 4 1; 9 4 1; 16 9 4 1; etc.
From Omar E. Pol, Jan 26 2014: (Start)
Triangle begins:
1;
4, 1;
9, 4, 1;
16, 9, 4, 1;
25, 16, 9, 4, 1;
36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1;
49, 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1;
64, 49, 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1;
81, 64, 49, 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1;
100, 81, 64, 49, 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1;
...
For n = 7 the row sum is 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = A000330(7) = 140. The alternating row sum is 49 - 36 + 25 - 16 + 9 - 4 + 1 = A000217(7) = 28.
