COMMENTS
In the language of the Shapiro et al. reference (given in A053121) such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as a matrix, belongs to the Riordan-group. The G.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x) (increasing powers of x) is ((1-z^2)*(Fib(z))^2)/(1-x*z/(1-z^2)) Fib(x)=1/(1-x-x^2) = g.f. for A000045(n+1) (Fibonacci numbers without 0).
This is the second member of the family of Riordan-type matrices obtained from the unsigned convolution matrix A049310(n,m) by repeated application of the partial row sums procedure.

FORMULA
a(n, m) = Sum_{k=m..n} A054450(n, k), n >= m >= 0, a(n, m) := 0 if n<m, (sequence of partial row sums in column m).
Column m recursion: a(n, m) = Sum_{j=m..n} (a(j-1, m)*|A049310(n-j, 0)|) + A054450(n, m), n >= m >= 0, a(n, m) := 0 if n<m.
G.f. for column m: ((1-x^2)*(Fib(x))^2)*(x/(1-x^2))^m, m >= 0, with Fib(x) the g.f. for A000045(n+1).
