COMMENTS
In the notation of A195673, this defines polynomials P(n,x,p=-3,q=2), where p and q are the values of the constant and linear order for n=0 and 1.
Row sums -- the value P(n,1,-3,2) of the polynomial -- are A130848(n+5).
For general seed values in the two top rows of the triangle, the recurrence T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) - T(n-2,k-2) defines the triangle
p;
q, 0;
q, 0, -p;
q, 0, -p-q, 0;
q, 0, -p-2q, 0, p;
q, 0, -p-3q, 0, 2p+q, 0;
and a companion triangle by adding 1 to both seed values:
p+1;
q+1, 0;
q+1, 0, -p-1;
q+1, 0, -p-q-2, 0;
q+1, 0, -p-2q-3, 0, p+1;
q+1, 0, -p-3q-4, 0, 2p+q+3, 0;
The point-by-point difference between two companions is P(n,x,p+1,q+1) - P(n,x,p,q) = S(n,x) as represented (with increasing exponents) by A053119.
Examples of such triangles are A053119 (p=q=1), A192575 (p=1, q=2),
A162514 (p=2, q=1, up to a sign factor), A192011 (p=-1, q=2), A135929 (p=-2, q=1, apart from a irregular leading T(0,0)).
FORMULA
T(n,0) = 2 (n>0).
T(n,2) = -A060747(n-3), n>2.
T(n,4) = A028347(n-5), n>6.
T(2n,2n) = -3*(-1)^n ; T(n, 2k-1) = 0 ; T(2n+1,2n) = -(3n-2)*(-1)^n. - M. F. Hasler, Sep 28 2011
