Hi Galina,
I'm not sure why your topic title uses the word binomial. It suggests
the coefficients of your sequence should be binomial but your example
doesn't show any such coefficients. Furthermore, your series is a bit
irregular. The first few start with x having the highest power, then
decreasing, but F[7] - F[9] do not adhere to that pattern.
Assuming you're mistaken here and F[7] should be x^3, F[8] x^2 y, F[9]
x y^2 and F[10] y^3, F can be given by
F[n_] :=
Module[{t, m},
t = \[LeftFloor]1/2 (-1 + Sqrt[1 + 8 (-1 + n)])\[RightFloor];
m = n - 1 - 1/2 t (1 + t);
x ^(t - m) y^m
]
I leave it as an exercise to you to determine why the variables t and
m have these specific values.
A brute-force approach, but easier to understand, would be
F[i_] := Flatten[Table[x ^(n - r) y^r, {n, 0, i}, {r, 0, n}]][[i]].
It does more calculations than necessary, but I assume i will never
get very high.
