Gives an identity for A000593. Alternating sum of row n equals the sum of odd divisors of n, i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k) = A000593(n).

Row n has length A003056(n) hence the column k starts in row A000217(k).

Since the odd-indexed rows of the triangle A266537 contain all zeros then odd-indexed rows of this triangle are the same as the odd-indexed rows of the triangle A196020.

If T(n,k) is the second odd number in the column k then T(n+1,k+1) = 1 is the first element in the column k+1.

Alternating row sums of A196020 give A000203.

Alternating row sums of A266537 give A146076.

For n = 18 the divisors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 and the sum of odd divisors of 18 is 1 + 3 + 9 = 13. On the other hand, the 18th row of the triangle is 1, -14, 3, 5, 0, so the alternating row sum is 1 -(-14) + 3 - 5 + 0 = 13, equaling the sum of odd divisors of 18.
