A Padovan convolution triangle. See A000931 for the Padovan sequence.
Row sums are tribonacci numbers A000073(n+2). Antidiagonal sums are A008346. The first columns are A000931(n+3), A228577.
From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 30 2018: (Start)
The alternating row sums give A001057(n+1), for n >= 0.
The inverse of this Riordan triangle is given in A319203.
The row polynomials R(n, x) := Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*x^k, with R(-1, x) = 0, appear in the Cayley-Hamilton formula for nonnegative powers of a 3 X 3 matrix with Det M = sigma(3;3) = x1*x2*x3 = +1, sigma(3; 2) := x1*x2 + x1*x*3 + x2*x^3 = -1 and Tr M = sigma(3; 1) = x1 + x2 = x, where x1, x2, and x3, are the eigenvalues of M, and sigma the elementary symmetric functions, as M^n = R(n-2, x)*M^2 + (R(n-3, x) + R(n-4, x))*M + R(n-3, x)*1_3, for n >= 3, where M^0 = 1_3 is the 3 X 3 unit matrix.
For the Cayley-Hamilton formula for 3 X 3 matrices with Det M = +1, sigma(3,2) = +1 and Tr(M) = x see A321196.

FORMULA
Riordan array (1/(1 - x^2 - x^3), x/(1 - x^2 - x^3)).
T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-2,k) + T(n-3,k), T(0,0)=1, T(n,k)=0 if k > n or if k < n. - Philippe Deléham, Jan 08 2014
From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 30 2018: (Start)
The Riordan property T = (G(x), x*G(x)) with G(x)= 1/(1-x^2-x^3) implies the following.
G.f. of row polynomials R(n, x) is G(x,z) = 1/(1- x*z - z^2 - z^3).
G.f. of column sequence k: x^k/(1 - x^2 - x^3)^(k+1), k >= 0.
Boas-Buck recurrence (see the Aug 10 2017 remark in A046521, also for the reference):
T(n, k) = ((k+1)/(n-k))*Sum_{j=k..n-1} b(n-1-j)*T(j, k), for n >= 1, k = 0,1, ..., n-1, and input T(n,n) = 1, for n >= 0. Here b(n) = [x^n]*(d/dx)log(G(x)) = A001608(n+1), for n >= 0.
Recurrences from the A- and Z- sequences (see the W. Lang link under A006232 with references), which are A(n) = A319202(n) and Z(n) = A(n+1).
T(0, 0) = 1, T(n, k) = 0 for n < k, and
T(n, 0) = Sum_{j=0..n-1} Z(j)*T(n-1, j), for n >= 1, and
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n-k} A(j)*T(n-1, k-1+j), for n >= m >= 1.

Cayley-Hamilton formula for the tribonacci Q-matrix TQ(x) =[[x,1,1], [1,0,0], [0,1,0]] with Det(TQ) = +1, sigma(3, 2) = -1, and Tr(TQ) = x. For n = 3: TQ(x)^3 = R(1, x)*TQ(x)^2 + (R(0 x) + R(-1, x))*TQ(x) + R(0, x)*1_3 = x*TQ(x)^2 + TQ(x) + 1_3. For x = 1 see also A058265 (powers of the tribonacci constant).
Recurrence: T(6, 2) = T(5, 1) + T(4, 2) + T(3, 2) = 3 + 3 + 0 = 6.
Z- and A- recurrence with A319202 = {1, 0, 1, 1, -1, -3, 0, ...}:
T(5, 0) = 0*1 + 1*2 + 1*3 + (-1)*0 + (-3)*1 = 2; T(5,2) = 1*2 + 0*3 + 1*0 + 1*1 = 3.
Boas-Buck type recurrence with b = {0, 2, 3, ...}: T(5, 2) = ((1+2)/(5-2)) * (3*1 + 2*0 + 0*3) = 1*3 = 3.
