A180062 Irregular triangle by rows derived from variants of Cartan matrices: 1's in the super and subdiagonals and 3,4,4,4,... in the main diagonal alternating with 4,4,4,... 2

Row sums starting with row 2 = A136211: (1, 4, 5, 19, 24, ...) = denominators in convergents to [1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, ...].
Rightmost terms in each row = A002530, denominators in convergents to [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, ...], prefaced with a 1 for row 1. Odd-indexed row rightmost terms = Product_{k=1..(n-1)/2} (2 + 4*cos^2(k*2*Pi/n))
Example: x^3 - 11x^2 + 38x + 41 = row 7 relating to the heptagon, with roots = 5.246979..., 3.554958..., and 2.19806226, product = 41 (same result as using the product formula).
Even-indexed rows related to even-sided regular polygons; but use the product formula: rightmost terms in even rows >2 = Product_{k=1..(n-2)/2} (2 + 4*cos^2(k*Pi/n)).
Using the product formula or root products with row 8 relating to the octagon, we obtain 5.414..., * 4 * 2.585... = 56, rightmost term of row 8.
Shifted columns of A180062 = triangle A180063.

FORMULA
Triangle read by rows generated from Cartan-like matrices, 1's in the super and subdiagonals, with alternates of (3,4,4,4,...) for odd-indexed rows and (4,4,4,...) for even-indexed rows. The first nontrivial matrix = [3,1; 1,4] with charpoly x^2 - 7x + 11, becoming row 5: (1, 7, 11); generating row 3: (x^2 - 7x + 11). Rows begin 1; 1; 1,3; 1,4;...
The first few rows can be constructed using the following set of rules:
Rightmost terms in each row = A002530, denominators in continued fraction [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2,...] = (1, 3, 4, 11, 15,...), while row sums = A136211, denominators in [1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3,...] = (1, 4, 5, 19, 24,...) given row 1 = 1.
Negative signs in the charpolys are changed to + in the triangle.

Row 8 = x^3 - 12x^2 + 46x - 56, = charpoly of [4,1,0; 1,4,1; 0,1,4].
