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 Bell-subgroup of the Riordan-group.
The G.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x) (increasing powers of x) is Pell(z)/(1-x*z*Pell(z)) with Pell(x)=1/(1-2*x-x^2) = g.f. for A000129(n+1) (Pell numbers without 0).
Column sequences are A000129(n+1), A006645(n+1), A054457(n) for m=0..2.
Riordan array (1/(1-2x-x^2),x/(1-2x-x^2)). - Paul Barry, Mar 15 2005
As a Riordan array, this factors as (1/(1-x^2),x/(1-x^2))*(1/(1-2x),x/(1-2x)), [abs(A049310) times square of A007318, or A038207]. - Paul Barry, Jul 28 2005
Coefficients of polynomials defined by P(x, 0) = 1; P(x, 1) = 2 - x; P(x, n) = (2 - x)*P(x, n - 1) + P(x, n - 2). - Roger L. Bagula, Mar 24 2008

FORMULA
a(n, m) := ((n-m+1)*a(n, m-1) + (n+m)*a(n-1, m-1))/(4*m), n >= m >= 1, a(n, 0)= P(n+1)= A000129(n+1) (Pell numbers without P(0)), a(n, m) := 0 if n<m.
G.f. for column m: Pell(x)*(x*Pell(x))^m, m >= 0, with Pell(x) G.f. for A000129(n+1).
