This is an irregular tetrahedron in which T(n,j,k) is the k-th element of the j-th column of the difference triangle of the divisors of n.
The first row of the slice n is also the n-th row of the triangle A027750.
The bottom entry of the slice n is A187202(n).
The sum of the elements of the n-th slice is A273103(n).
The columns sums give A273263.
If n is a power of 2 the subsequence lists the elements of the difference table of the divisors of n in nondecreasing order, for example if n = 8 the finite sequence of columns is [1, 1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2], [4, 4], [8].
First differs from A273137 at a(86).
EXAMPLE
The tables of the first nine positive integers are
1; 1, 2; 1, 3; 1, 2, 4; 1, 5; 1, 2, 3, 6; 1, 7; 1, 2, 4, 8; 1, 3, 9;
. 1; 2; 1, 2; 4; 1, 1, 3; 6; 1, 2, 4; 2, 6;
. 1; 0, 2; 1, 2; 4;
. 2; 1;
.
For n = 18 the difference table of the divisors of 18 is
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18;
1, 1, 3, 3, 9;
0, 2, 0, 6;
2, -2, 6;
-4, 8;
12;
This table read by columns gives the finite subsequence [1, 1, 0, 2, -4, 12], [2, 1, 2, -2, 8], [3, 3, 0, 6], [6, 3, 6], [9, 9], [18].
