COMMENTS

Sum(binomial(n,i) * (-1)^i * T(i,r), i=0..n) = (-1)^(n-r) * binomial(n,r).

Row sums are 1, antidiagonal sums are the natural numbers. - Gerald McGarvey (gerald.mcgarvey(AT)comcast.net), May 29 2005

Row sums = one. - Roger L. Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 12 2008

Riordan array (1/(1-2x), -x/(1-2x)). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 27 2009]

Triangle T(n,k), read by rows, given by [2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] DELTA [ -1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 15 2009]

FORMULA

T(n, k) = (-1)^k * 2^(n-k) * binomial(n, k)

For n>0, T(n, k) = 2*T(n-1, k) - T(n-1, k-1). - Gerald McGarvey (gerald.mcgarvey(AT)comcast.net), May 29 2005

p(n,m,k)=(-1)^m*Multinomial[n - m - k, m, k]; t(n,m)=Sum[(-1)^m*Multinomial[n - m - k, m, k],{k,0,n}]. - Roger L. Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 12 2008

Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} T(n,k)*A000108(k)= A001405(n). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 27 2009]

Sum_{k 0<=k<=n} T(n,k)*x^k = (2-x)^n. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 15 2009]

EXAMPLE

For C-2 continuity between P and Q we require Q_0 = P_n; Q_1 = 2P_n - P_n-1; Q_2 = 4P_n - 4P_n-1 + P_n-2.
