COMMENTS
Diagonals of the triangle of numerators have differences of 1, then 2, then 3, etc.
The limit as n -> infinity of the ratio of polynomials is 1/(1-r^2), 0 < r < 1, which is proved at the Mathematics Stack Exchange link below.

EXAMPLE
n=1: 1/(1 + r + r^2).
n=2: (2 + 2*r + 2*r^2)/(2*(1 + 2*r + 2*r^2 + 2*r^3 + r^4)).
n=5: (5 + 8r + 11r^2 + 12r^3 + 13r^4 + 12r^5 + 11r^6 + 8r^7 + 5r^8)/(5*(1 + 2r + 2r^2 + 2r^3 + 2r^4 + 2r^5 + 2r^6 + 2r^7 + 2r^8 + 2r^9 + r^10)).
