%N Triangle read by rows where the n-th row gives the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial for a Fibonacci-type matrix with a=1 and b=1.

%C Row sums are 1, 0, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, ... .

%F The n-th row contains the coefficients (from lowest-order to highest-order) of the characteristic polynomial of the matrix with (i,j)-entry given by: if(i = j = n, 1, if(j = n and i = 1, 1, if(i = j + 1, 1, 0))).

%F For n >= 2, the n-th row of the triangle consists of (-1)^(n+1), followed by n-2 zeros, followed by (-1)^(n+1) and (-1)^n. - _Nathaniel Johnston_, Apr 27 2011

%e Triangle begins:

%e -1, -1, 1,

%e 1, 0, 1, -1,

%e For n = 4, the matrix is {{0, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 1}}.

%t T[n_, m_, d_] := If[ n == m == d, 1, If[m == d && n == 1, 1, If[n == m + 1, 1, 0]]]; M[d_] := Table[T[n, m, d], {n, 1, d}, {m, 1, d}]; Table[Det[M[d]], {d, 1, 10}]; Table[Det[M[d] - x*IdentityMatrix[d]], {d, 1, 10}]; a = Join[{{1}}, Table[CoefficientList[Det[M[d] - x*IdentityMatrix[d]],x], {d, 1, 10}]]; Flatten[a]
