COMMENTS

These are pretty matrices in terms of symmetry. Matrices: 1 X 1 {{1}} 2 X 2 {{1, -1}, {-1, 1}} 3 X 3 {{1, -1, 0}, {-1, 2, -1}, {0, -1, 1}} 4 X 4 {{1, -1, 0, 0}, {-1, 3, -1, 0}, {0, -1, 3, -1}, {0, 0, -1, 1}} 5 X 5 {{1, -1, 0, 0, 0}, {-1, 4, -1, 0, 0}, {0, -1, 6, -1, 0}, {0, 0, -1, 4, -1}, {0, 0, 0, -1, 1}} 6 X 6 {{1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {-1, 5, -1, 0, 0, 0}, {0, -1, 10, -1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, -1, 10, -1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, -1, 5, -1}, {0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 1}}

FORMULA

t(n,m.d)=If[n + m - 1 == d, binomial[d - 1, n - 1], If[n + m == d, -1, If[n + m - 2 == d, -1, 0]]]
