COMMENTS
The Hankel sequence transform of row n satisfies the Somos-4 recurrence c(k) = (c(k-1) * c(k-3) + n*c(k-2)^2) / c(k-4). All Somos-4 sequences which are beginning with 1, 1, 1, 1, n, ... will be covered, but the Hankel transform will start with the terms 1, n, ... in each case.
FORMULA
The generating function A(x) of row n satisfies: 0 = (x^3 - x^2)*A(x)^2 + (n*x^3 - (n+1)*x^2 - x)*A(x) + ((n+1)*x^2 - x).
Let d(m, n) = ( d(m-3, n)*d(m-2, n) + n)/( d(m-5, n)*d(m-4, n)*d(m-3, n)^2*d(m-2, n)^2*d(m-1, n) ) for m = even and d(m, n) = 1/( d(m-1, n)*d(m-2, n) ) for m = odd with d( < 1 , n) = 1, then the generating function of row n can be expanded as continued fractions: 1/(1 - x/(1 - d(0, n)*x/(1 - d(1, n)*x/(1 - d(2, n)*x/(...))))).
d(m, n)*d(m+1, n) is a rational solution in x of the elliptic equation y^2 = -4*x^3 + ((n+1)^2 + 8)*x^2 - 2*(n+3)*x + 1. The division polynomials for multiples of the point with x = 1, correspondent to the Hankel transform of row n in the array T(n, k).
