<help> lockwood's identity

i am working on my expository research about integer sequences and their relationship with the pascal's triangle using the Lockwood's identity.
but unfortunately i can't provide a complete proof for the said identity. please help me. I've been working on it for months but still i can't do the proof.
the equation is too long so maybe it would be okay if I'd just give the link?
here it is:

any help will be highly appreciated.

Re: <help> lockwood's identity

Hi robimaru;

Welcome to the forum.

Lockwood's Identity according to that paper can be proved by strong induction. Have you tried that?
