%N Triangle read by rows, 0 <= k <= n: T(n,k) is the numerator of the derivative of the k-th Bernstein basis polynomial of degree n evaluated at the interval midpoint t = 1/2; denominator is A320086.

%C If n = 2*k, then T(n,k) = 0 since the k-th Bernstein basis polynomial of degree n has a single unique local maximum occurring at t = k/n, which coincides with the interval midpoint t = 1/2 (T(0,0) = 0 because the only 0 degree Bernstein basis polynomial is the constant 1).
