%N Triangle of absolute values of the coefficients (in descending powers) of the characteristic polynomials of n X n matrices with 3's on the main diagonal and 1's elsewhere.

%e 3rd row (1, 9, 24, 20) with alternating signs = characteristic polynomial 3 X 3 matrix [3 1 1 / 1 3 1 / 1 1 3], x^3 - 9x^2 + 24x - 20.

%Y Row sums are A006234: 1, 4, 15, 54, 189... Rightmost terms in each row = A001792: 1, 3, 8, 20, 48, 112, 256...(row sums of A103406, the analogous triangle with all 2's in the generating matrix.)
