COMMENTS
As an unsigned sequence a(n) this is identical with the one of A155586(n+1), for n >= 0, but the triangle is not a simple signed version of A155586. See the formula.
This lower triangular Riordan matrix T of Toeplitz type is the inverse of the Riordan matrix (c(x), x) = |A106270|, also of Toeplitz type.
FORMULA
The lower triangular matrix T satisfies: T = I - L^{tr}*|A106270|, also for the finite N X N version, with the unit matrix I and the lower triangular matrix L^{tr}(i, j) = delta_{i, j-1} (Kronecker symbol delta) with first lower diagonal of 1s and 0 otherwise.
T(n, n) = 1, and for T(n, m) = -C_{n - 1 - m } = - |A106270(n-1, m)|, for 0 <= m <= n-1, with the Catalan numbers C(n) = A000108, and T(n, m) = 0 for n < m.
O.g.f. of column m: (1/c(x)*x^m = (1 - x*c(x))*x^m (Riordan matrix of Toeplitz type), with the o.g.f. c of A000108.
O.g.f. row polynomials R(n, x) = Sum_{m=0..n} T(n, m)*x^m, that is the o.g.f. of the triangle. G(z, x) = c(z)/(1 - x*z).
