A239830 Triangular array: T(n,k) = number of partitions of 2n that have alternating sum 2k, with T(0,0) = 1 for convenience. 37

COMMENTS
Suppose that p, with parts x(1) >= x(2) >= ... >= x(k), is a partition of n. Define AS(p), the alternating sum of p, by x(1) - x(2) + x(3) - ... + ((-1)^(k-1))*x(k); note that AS(p) has the same parity as n. Column 1 is given by T(n,1) = A000041(n) for n >= 0, which is the number of partitions of 2n having AS(p) = 0, for n >= 1. Columns 2 and 3 are essentially A000567 and A000710, and the limiting column (after deleting initial 0's), A000712. The sum of numbers in row n is A000041(2n). The corresponding array for partitions into distinct parts is given by A152146 (defined as the number of unrestricted partitions of 2n into 2k even parts).

EXAMPLE
First nine rows:
1
1 ... 1
2 ... 2 ... 1
3 ... 5 ... 2 ... 1
5 ... 9 ... 5 ... 2 ... 1
7 ... 17 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
11 .. 28 .. 20 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
15 .. 47 .. 35 .. 20 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
22 .. 73 .. 62 .. 36 .. 20 .. 10 .. 5 ... 2 ... 1
The partitions of 6 are 6, 51, 42, 411, 33, 321, 3111, 222, 2211, 21111, 111111, with respective alternating sums 6, 4, 2, 4, 0, 2, 2, 2, 0, 2, 0, so that row 3 (counting the top row as row 0) of the array is 3 .. 5 .. 2 .. 1.
