%N The r-th term of the n-th row of the following array contains the sum of r successively decreasing integers beginning from n. 0 < r <= n. Sequence contains the leading diagonal.

%F From _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 10 2009: (Start)

%F a(n) = n*(1 + 2*n - n^2)/2 = n - A002411(n-1).

%F G.f.: x*(1 - 3*x - x^2)/(1-x)^4.

%F a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4). (End)

%e E.g., the row corresponding to 4 contains 4, (3+2),{(1) +(0)+(-1)}, {(-2)+(-3)+(-4)+(-5)} ----> 4,5,0,-14
