Triangle read by rows: T(0,0) = 1; T(n,k) = 2 T(n-1,k) - T(n-4,k-1) for 0 <= k <= floor(n/4); T(n,k)=0 for n or k < 0.

COMMENTS
The numbers in rows of the triangle are along "third layer" skew diagonals pointing top-right in center-justified triangle given in A065109 ((2-x)^n) and along "third layer" skew diagonals pointing top-left in center-justified triangle given in A303872 ((-1+2x)^n), see links. (Note: First layer skew diagonals in center-justified triangles of coefficients in expansions of (2-x)^n and (-1+2x)^n are given in A133156 (coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind) and A305098 respectively.) The coefficients in the expansion of 1/(1-2x+x^4) are given by the sequence generated by the row sums. The row sums give A008937. If s(n) is the row sum at n, then the ratio s(n)/s(n-1) is approximately 1.83928675521416113... (A058265: Decimal expansion of the tribonacci constant t, the real root of x^3-x^2-x-1), when n approaches infinity.

FORMULA
T(n,k) = 2^(n - 4*k) * (-1)^k / ((n - 4*k)! k!) * (n - 3*k)! where n >= 0 and 0 <= k <= floor(n/4).
