%N Square array A(n,k) = difference of digit sums in factorial base representations (A007623) of n and k, n>=0, k>=0, read by antidiagonals; A(n,k) = A034968(n)-A034968(k).
%C Equivalently, A(n,k) = the sum of differences of digits in matching positions of the factorial base representations (A007623) of n and k.

%F A(col,row) = A034968(col)-A034968(row). [Where col is the column and row the row index of entry A(col,row)]
%F Equally, as a sequence, a(n) = A034968(A025581(n)) - A034968(A002262(n)).
%F For each entry, A(j,i) = -A(i,j), or as a sequence, a(A061579(n)) = -a(n). [The array is symmetric up to the sign of entries]
%F Also, for each entry A(i,j), abs(A(i,j)) <= A231713(i,j).
