COMMENTS
Apart from signs, identical to A078812.
Another version with row-leading 0's and differing signs is given by A285072.
G.f. for row polynomials S(n,x-2) (signed triangle): 1/(1+(2-x)*z+z^2). Unsigned triangle |a(n,m)| has g.f. 1/(1-(2+x)*z+z^2) for row polynomials.
Row sums (signed triangle) A049347(n) (periodic(1,-1,0)). Row sums (unsigned triangle) A001906(n+1)=F(2*(n+1)) (even-indexed Fibonacci).
In the language of Shapiro et al. (see A053121 for the reference) such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as a matrix, belongs to the Bell-subgroup of the Riordan-group.
The (unsigned) column sequences are A000027, A000292, A000389, A000580, A000582, A001288 for m=0..5, resp. For m=6..23 they are A010966..(+2)..A011000 and for m=24..49 they are A017713..(+2)..A017763.
Riordan array (1/(1+x)^2,x/(1+x)^2). Inverse array is A039598. Diagonal sums have g.f. 1/(1+x^2). - Paul Barry, Mar 17 2005. Corrected by _Wolfdieter_ Lang, Nov 13 2012.
Unsigned version is in A078812. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 05 2006
Also row n gives (except for an overall sign) coefficients of characteristic polynomial of the Cartan matrix for the root system A_n. - Roger L. Bagula, May 23 2007
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2012: (Start)
The A-sequence for this Riordan triangle is A115141, and the Z-sequence is A115141(n+1), n>=0. For A- and Z-sequences for Riordan matrices see the W. Lang link under A006232 with details and references.
S(n,x^2-2) = sum(r(j,x^2),j=0..n) with Chebyshev's S-polynomials and r(j,x^2) := R(2*j+1,x)/x, where R(n,x) are the monic integer Chebyshv T-polynomials with coefficients given in A127672. Proof from comparing the o.g.f. of the partial sum of the r(j,x^2) polynomials (see a comment on the signed Riordan triangle A111125) with the present Riordan type o.g.f. for the row polynomials with x -> x^2. (End)
S(n,x^2-2) = S(2*n+1,x)/x, n >= 0, from the odd part of the bisection of the o.g.f. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 17 2012
For a relation to a generator for the Narayana numbers A001263, see A119900, whose columns are unsigned shifted rows (or antidiagonals) of this array, referring to the tables in the example sections. - Tom Copeland, Oct 29 2014
The unsigned rows of this array are alternating rows of a mirrored A011973 and alternating shifted rows of A030528 for the Fibonacci polynomials. - Tom Copeland, Nov 04 2014
Boas-Buck type recurrence for column k >= 0 (see Aug 10 2017 comment in A046521 with references): a(n, m) = (2*(m + 1)/(n - m))*Sum_{k = m..n-1} (-1)^(n-k)*a(k, m), with input a(n, n) = 1, and a(n,k) = 0 for n < k. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 03 2020
Row n gives the characteristic polynomial of the (n X n)-matrix M where M[i,j] = 2 if i = j, -1 if |i-j| = 1 and 0 otherwise. The matrix M is positive definite and has 2-condition number (cot(Pi/(2*n+2)))^2. - Jianing Song, Jun 21 2022
Also the convolution triangle of (-1)^(n+1)*n. - Peter Luschny, Oct 07 2022

FORMULA
a(n, m) := 0 if n<m else ((-1)^(n-m))*binomial(n+m+1, 2*m+1);
a(n, m) = -2*a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1) - a(n-2, m), a(n, -1) := 0 =: a(-1, m), a(0, 0)=1, a(n, m) := 0 if n<m;
O.g.f. for m-th column (signed triangle): ((x/(1+x)^2)^m)/(1+x)^2.
From Jianing Song, Jun 21 2022: (Start)
T(n,k) = [x^k]f_n(x), where f_{-1}(x) = 0, f_0(x) = 1, f_n(x) = (x-2)*f_{n-1}(x) - f_{n-2}(x) for n >= 2.
f_n(x) = (((x-2+sqrt(x^2-4*x))/2)^(n+1) - ((x-2-sqrt(x^2-4*x))/2)^(n+1))/sqrt(x^2-4x).
The roots of f_n(x) are 2 + 2*cos(k*Pi/(n+1)) = 4*(cos(k*Pi/(2*n+2)))^2 for 1 <= k <= n. (End)

E.g., fourth row (n=3) {-4,10,-6,1} corresponds to the polynomial S(3,x-2) = -4+10*x-6*x^2+x^3.
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2012: (Start)
Recurrence: a(5,1) = 35 = 1*5 + (-2)*(-20) -1*(10).
Recurrence from Z-sequence [-2,-1,-2,-5,...]: a(5,0) = -6 = (-2)*5 + (-1)*(-20) + (-2)*21 + (-5)*(-8) + (-14)*1.
Recurrence from A-sequence [1,-2,-1,-2,-5,...]: a(5,1) = 35 = 1*5 + (-2)*(-20) + (-1)*21 + (-2)*(-8) + (-5)*1.
(End)
E.g., the fourth row (n=3) {-4,10,-6,1} corresponds also to the polynomial S(7,x)/x = -4 + 10*x^2 - 6*x^4 + x^6. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 17 2012
Boas-Buck type recurrence: -56 = a(5, 2) = 2*(-1*1 + 1*(-6) - 1*21) = -2*28 = -56. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 03 2020
