COMMENTS
The array F(3;n,m) gives in the columns m >= 1 the figurate numbers based on A016777, including the pentagonal numbers A000326 (see the W. Lang link).
This is the third member, d=3, in the family of triangles of figurate numbers, called (d,1) Pascal triangles: A007318 (Pascal (d=1), A029653 (d=2).
This is an example of a Riordan triangle (see A053121 for a comment and the 1991 Shapiro et al. reference on the Riordan group) with o.g.f. of column nr. m of the type g(x)*(x*f(x))^m with f(0)=1. Therefore the o.g.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x):=Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m is G(z,x)=g(z)/(1-x*z*f(z)). Here: g(x)=(1+2*x)/(1-x), f(x)=1/(1-x), hence G(z,x)=(1+2*z)/(1-(1+x)*z).
The SW-NE diagonals give the Lucas numbers A000032: L(n) = Sum_{k=0..ceiling((n-1)/2)} a(n-1-k,k), n >= 1, with L(0)=2. Observation by Paul Barry, Apr 29 2004. Proof via recursion relations and comparison of inputs.
Triangle T(n,k), read by rows, given by [3,-2,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] DELTA [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 17 2009
For a closed-form formula for generalized Pascal's triangle see A228576. - Boris Putievskiy, Sep 09 2013
From Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 09 2015: (Start)
The signed lower triangular matrix (-1)^(n-1)*a(n,m) is the inverse of the Riordan matrix A106516; that is Riordan ((1-2*x)/(1+x),x/(1+x)).
See the Peter Bala comment from Dec 23 2014 in A106516 for general Riordan triangles of the type (g(x), x/(1-x)): exp(x)*r(n,x) = d(n,x) with the e.g.f. r(n,x) of row n and the e.g.f. of diagonal n.
Similarly, for general Riordan triangles of the type (g(x), x/(1+x)): exp(x)*r(n,-x) = d(n,x). (End)
The n-th row polynomial is (3 + x)*(1 + x)^(n-1) for n >= 1. More generally, the n-th row polynomial of the Riordan array ( (1-a*x)/(1-b*x), x/(1-b*x) ) is (b - a + x)*(b + x)^(n-1) for n >= 1. - Peter Bala, Mar 02 2018
Binomial(n-2,k)+2*Binomial(n-3,k) is also the number of permutations avoiding both 123 and 132 with k double descents, i.e., positions with w[i]>w[i+1]>w[i+2]. - Lara Pudwell, Dec 19 2018

FORMULA
a(n, m)=F(3;n-m, m) for 0<= m <= n, otherwise 0, with F(3;0, 0)=1, F(3;n, 0)=3 if n>=1 and F(3;n, m):=(3*n+m)*binomial(n+m-1, m-1)/m if m>=1.
G.f. column m (without leading zeros): (1+2*x)/(1-x)^(m+1), m>=0.
Recursion: a(n, m)=0 if m>n, a(0, 0)= 1; a(n, 0)=3 if n>=1; a(n, m)= a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1).
T(n, k) = C(n, k) + 2*C(n-1, k). - Philippe Deléham, Aug 28 2005
Equals M * A007318, where M = an infinite triangular matrix with all 1's in the main diagonal and all 2's in the subdiagonal. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 01 2007
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) = A151821(n+1). - Philippe Deléham, Sep 17 2009
exp(x) * e.g.f. for row n = e.g.f. for diagonal n. For example, for n = 3 we have exp(x)*(3 + 7*x + 5*x^2/2! + x^3/3!) = 3 + 10*x + 22*x^2/2! + 40*x^3/3! + 65*x^4/4! + .... The same property holds more generally for Riordan arrays of the form ( f(x), x/(1 - x) ). - Peter Bala, Dec 22 2014
G.f.: (-1-2*x)/(-1+x+x*y). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 11 2015
