COMMENTS
A digit-wise analog of A049581.
The binary operator T: N x N -> N is commutative, therefore this table is symmetric and it does not matter in which direction the antidiagonals are read. It would also be sufficient to specify only the lower half of the square table: see A330238 for this variant. The operator is also defined for either argument equal to 0, which is the neutral element: T(x,0) = 0 for all x. Therefore we omit row & column 0 here, see A330240 for the table including these. Every element is its opposite or inverse, as shown by the zero diagonal T(x,x) = 0.
