May 11, 2022 at 21:59 comment added Peter Taylor I've passed the buck to Irwin. I personally would be willing to add a comment about the equivalence but not to remove the word "conjecture", because I don't have a proof.
May 11, 2022 at 20:25 comment added Max Alekseyev @BillyJoe: I've asked about the recurrence related to A016121 in a new question: mathoverflow.net/q/422322
May 11, 2022 at 20:21 comment added Max Alekseyev @PeterTaylor: Indeed. Would you mind to remove "conjecture" from Irwin's comment?

May 11, 2022 at 17:52 comment added Sam Hopkins @MaxAlekseyev: well, as you can now see, Richard Stanley identified the relevant polytopes (the "Pitman-Stanley polytope") and indeed a lot is known about these.

May 11, 2022 at 7:19 comment added Peter Taylor Irwin's conjecture on A107877 is equivalent to the earlier comment by Joerg Arndt, Apr 30 2011, which doesn't qualify it as a conjecture.

May 10, 2022 at 21:43 comment added Max Alekseyev @BillyJoe: You're correct. I've messed it up with another recurrence (also quite intriguing): $$g_{k+1}(t_1,t_2,\dots,t_{k+1}) = \sum_{j=0}^{t_1} g_k(t_2+j, t_3+j, \dots, t_{k+1}+j).$$
May 10, 2022 at 21:08 comment added Fabius Wiesner Are you sure about A016121? Apparently $f_k(n,d,d,\ldots,d,d)=\frac{n+1}{k}\binom{n+k(d+1)}{k-1}$.
May 10, 2022 at 17:49 comment added Max Alekseyev @BillyJoe: Nice catch! In fact, it is stated there as conjecture by Benedict W. J. Irwin.
May 10, 2022 at 17:32 comment added Fabius Wiesner FWIW it seems that $f_k(1,2,3,\ldots,k-2,k-2,k)=a(k+1)$, where $a(k)$ is A107877.

May 9, 2022 at 2:20 comment added Sam Hopkins The equal arguments case looks like it should also give the Ehrhart polynomial of some lattice polytope.
