Formula

From Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 11 2020: (Start)

T(n,k) = A039762(n,n-k) for k = 0..n.

T(n,0) = 1 for n >= 0.

T(n,n) = (-1)^n*(n-1)*(2*n-3)!! for n >= 2.

T(n,k) = [x^(n-k)] (x - (n - 1)) * Product_{k=1..n-1} (x - (2*k - 1)) for n >= 1 and k = 0..n. (End)

Example

Triangle T(n,k) (with rows n >= 0 and columns k = 0..n) begins:
  1;
  1,   0;
  1,  -2,   1;
  1,  -6,  11,   -6;
  1, -12,  50,  -84,  45;
  1, -20, 150, -520, 809, -420;
  ...
