COMMENTS
Or as a square array read by antidiagonals, T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(k,j)*binomial(n+k-j,k)*((j+1) mod 2).
A symmetric number triangle based on 1/(1-x^2).
The construction of a symmetric triangle in this example is general. Let f(n) be a sequence, preferably with f(0)=1. Then T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n-k} binomial(k,j)*binomial(n-j,k)*f(j) yields a symmetric triangle. When f(n)=1^n, we get Pascal's triangle. When f(n)=2^n, we get the Delannoy triangle (see A008288). In general, f(n)=k^n yields a (1,k,1)-Pascal triangle (see A081577, A081578). Row sums of triangle are A100131. Diagonal sums of the triangle are A108351. Triangle mod 2 is A106465.
