%N Table read by rows, coefficients of the determinant polynomials of the generalized tangent matrices.
%C The generalized tangent matrix M(n, k) is an N X N matrix defined for n in [1..N-1] and for k in [0..n-1] with h = floor((N+1)/2) as:
%C M[n - k, k + 1] = if n < h then 1 otherwise -1,
%C M[N - n + k + 1, N - k] = if n < N - h then -1 otherwise 1,
%C and the indeterminate x in the main antidiagonal.
%C The tangent matrix M(n, k) as defined in A346831 is the special case which arises from setting x = 0. The determinant of a generalized tangent matrix M is a polynomial which we call the determinant polynomial of M.
