Matrix inverse is triangle A118800. Row sums are: (1-n). Unsigned row sums equal A007051(n) = (3^n + 1)/2. Row squared sums equal A118802. Antidiagonal sums equal A080956(n) = (n+1)(2-n)/2. Unsigned antidiagonal sums form A024537 (with offset).

T = C^2*D^-1 where matrix product D = C^-1*T*C = T^-1*C^2 has only 2 nonzero diagonals: D(n,n)=-D(n+1,n)=(-1)^n, with zeros elsewhere. Also, [B^-1]*T*[B^-1] = B*[T^-1]*B forms a self-inverse matrix, where B^2 = C and B(n,k) = C(n,k)/2^(n-k). - Paul D. Hanna, May 04 2006

Riordan array ( 1/(1 - x), -x/(1 - 2*x) ) The matrix square is the Riordan array ( (1 - 2*x)/(1 - x)^2, x ), which belongs to the Appell subgroup of the Riordan group. See the Example section below. - Peter Bala, Jul 17 2013

Formula

T(n,k) = 1 + (-1)^k*2^(n-k+1)*Sum_{j=0..[k/2]} C(n-2j-2,k-2j-1) for n>=k>=0 with T(0,0) = 1.

For k>0, T(n,k) = -T(n-1,k-1) + 2*T(n-1,k). - Gerald McGarvey, Aug 05 2006

From Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2016: (Start)

Let M = A200139^(-1) = (unsigned A118800)^(-1) and NpdP be the signed padded Pascal matrix defined in A097805. Then T(n,k) = (-1)^n* M(n,k) and T = P*NpdP = (A239473)^(-1)*P^(-1) = P*A167374*P^(-1) = A156644*P^(-1), where P is the Pascal matrix A007318 with inverse A130595. Cf. A112857.

Signed P^2 = signed A032807 = T*A167374. (End)

Example

Formulas for initial columns are, for n>=0:
T(n+1,1) = 1 - 2^(n+1);
T(n+2,2) = 1 + 2^(n+1)*n;
T(n+3,3) = 1 - 2^(n+1)*(n*(n+1)/2 + 1);
T(n+4,4) = 1 + 2^(n+1)*(n*(n+1)*(n+2)/6 + n);
T(n+5,5) = 1 - 2^(n+1)*(n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)/24 + n*(n+1)/2 + 1).
