FORMULA
T(n, k) = [x^(n-k)][z^n] (x / (1 - x*z - z^2)).
T(n, k) = binomial(n - (k + 1)/2, (k + 1)/2) if k is odd, and otherwise 0.
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k) = Fibonacci(n + 1) - 1.
Columns with odd index agree with the odd indexed columns of A374440.

MAPLE
T := (n, k) -> if k::even then 0 else binomial(n - (k + 1)/2, (k + 1)/2) fi:
# Or as a recurrence:
T := proc(n, k) option remember; if k::even or k > n then 0 elif k = 1 then n - 1 else T(n - 1, k) + T(n - 2, k - 2) fi end:
seq(seq(T(n, k), k = 0..n), n = 0..12);
