COMMENTS
Amazingly, column 0 (A135881) also equals column 0 of tables A135878 and A135879, both of which have unusual recurrences seemingly unrelated to this triangle.
FORMULA
Denote this triangle by P and define as follows.
Let [P^m]_k denote column k of matrix power P^m,
so that triangular matrix Q = A135885 may be defined by
[Q]_k = [P^(2k+2)]_0, for k>=0, such that
(1) Q = P^2 and (2) [Q]_0 = [P]_0 shifted left.
Define the dual triangular matrix R = A135894 by
[R]_k = [P^(2k+1)]_0, for k>=0.
Then columns of P may be formed from powers of R:
[P]_k = [R^(k+1)]_0, for k>=0.
Further, columns of powers of P, Q and R satisfy:
[R^(j+1)]_k = [P^(2k+1)]_j,
[Q^(j+1)]_k = [P^(2k+2)]_j,
[Q^(j+1)]_k = [Q^(k+1)]_j,
[P^(2j+2)]_k = [P^(2k+2)]_j, for all j>=0, k>=0.
Also, we have the column transformations:
R * [P]_k = [P]_{k+1},
Q * [Q]_k = [Q]_{k+1},
Q * [R]_k = [R]_{k+1},
P^2 * [Q]_k = [Q]_{k+1},
P^2 * [R]_k = [R]_{k+1}, for all k>=0.
Other identities include the matrix products:
P^-1*R (A135898) = P shifted right one column;
P*R^-1*P (A135899) = Q shifted down one row;
R^-1*Q (A135900) = R shifted down one row.

where column k of Q equals column 0 of Q^(k+1) for k>=0;
thus column k of P^2 equals column 0 of P^(2k+2).

and is generated by a process that seems completely unrelated.
