%N Robbins triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of alternating sign n X n matrices with a 1 at top of column k (n >= 1, 1<=k<=n)
%C An alternating sign matrix is a matrix of 0's and 1's such that (a) the sum of each row and column is 1; (b) the nonzero entries in each row and column alternate in sign.
%C Named after the American mathematician David Peter Robbins (1942-2003). - _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 13 2021
