COMMENTS
Coefficients of the (left, normalized) shifted cyclotomic polynomial. Or, coefficients of the basic n-th q-series for q=-2. Indeed, let Y_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n} x^k, having as roots all the n-th roots of unity except for 0; then coefficients in x of (-1)^n Y_n(-x-1) give exactly the n-th row of A059260 and a practical way to compute it. - Olivier Gérard, Jul 30 2002
The maximum in the (2n)-th row is T(n,n), which is A026641; also T(n,n) ~ (2/3)*binomial(2n,n). The maximum in the (2n-1)-th row is T(n-1,n), which is A014300 (but T does not have the same definition as in A026637); also T(n-1,n) ~ (1/3)*binomial(2n,n). Here is a generalization of the formula given in A026641: T(i,j) = Sum_{k=0..j} binomial(i+k-x,j-k)*binomial(j-k+x,k) for all x real (the proof is easy by induction on i+j using T(i,j) = T(i-1,j) + T(i,j-1)). - Claude Morin, May 21 2002
The second greatest term in the (2n)-th row is T(n-1,n+1), which is A014301; the second greatest term in the (2n+1)-th row is T(n+1,n) = 2*T(n-1,n+1), which is 2*A014301. - Claude Morin
Diagonal sums give A008346. - Paul Barry, Sep 23 2004
Riordan array (1/(1-x^2), x/(1-x)). As a product of Riordan arrays, factors into the product of (1/(1+x),x) and (1/(1-x),1/(1-x)) (binomial matrix). - Paul Barry, Oct 25 2004
Signed version is A239473 with relations to partial sums of sequences. - Tom Copeland, Mar 24 2014
From Robert Coquereaux, Oct 01 2014: (Start)
Columns of the triangle (cf. Example below) give alternate partial sums along nw-se diagonals of the Pascal triangle, i.e., sequences A000035, A004526, A002620 (or A087811), A002623 (or A173196), A001752, A001753, A001769, A001779, A001780, A001781, A001786, A001808, etc.
The dimension of the space of closed currents (distributional forms) of degree p on Gr(n), the Grassmann algebra with n generators, equivalently, the dimension of the space of Gr(n)-valued symmetric multilinear forms with vanishing graded divergence, is V(n,p) = 2^n T(p,n-1) - (-1)^p.
If p is odd V(n,p) is also the dimension of the cyclic cohomology group of order p of the Z2 graded algebra Gr(n).
If p is even the dimension of this cohomology group is V(n,p)+1.

The following remarks assume the row indexing starts at n = 1.
The sequence of row polynomials R(n,x), beginning R(1,x) = 1, R(2,x) = x, R(3,x) = 1 + x + x^2 , ..., is a strong divisibility sequence of polynomials in the ring Z[x]; that is, for all positive integers n and m, poly_gcd( R(n,x), R(m,x)) = R(gcd(n, m), x) - apply Norfleet (2005), Theorem 3. Consequently, the polynomial sequence {R(n,x): n >= 1} is a divisibility sequence; that is, if n divides m then R(n,x) divides R(m,x) in Z[x]. (End)

FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(1-y-x*y-x^2) = 1 + y + x^2 + xy + y^2 + 2x^2y + 2xy^2 + y^3 + ...
E.g.f: (exp(-t)+(x+1)*exp((x+1)*t))/(x+2). - Tom Copeland, Mar 19 2014
O.g.f. (n-th row): ((-1)^n+(x+1)^(n+1))/(x+2). - Tom Copeland, Mar 19 2014
T(i, 0) = 1 if i is even or 0 if i is odd, T(0, i) = 1 and otherwise T(i, j) = T(i-1, j) + T(i, j-1); also T(i, j) = Sum_{m=j..i+j} (-1)^(i+j+m)*binomial(m, j). - Robert FERREOL, May 17 2002
T(i, j) ~ (i+j)/(2*i+j)*binomial(i+j, j); more precisely, abs(T(i, j)/binomial(i+j, j) - (i+j)/(2*i+j) )<=1/(4*(i+j)-2); the proof is by induction on i+j using the formula 2*T(i, j) = binomial(i+j, j)+T(i, j-1). - Claude Morin, May 21 2002
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^(n-j)binomial(j, k). - Paul Barry, Aug 25 2004
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n-k} binomial(n-j, j)*binomial(j, n-k-j). - Paul Barry, Jul 25 2005
Equals A097807 * A007318. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 21 2007
Equals A128173 * A007318 as infinite lower triangular matrices. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 17 2007
Equals A130595*A097805*A007318 = (inverse Pascal matrix)*(padded Pascal matrix)*(Pascal matrix) = A130595*A200139. Inverse is A097808 = A130595*(padded A130595)*A007318. - Tom Copeland, Nov 14 2016
T(i, j) = binomial(i+j, j)-T(i-1, j). - Laszlo Major, Apr 11 2017
Recurrence for row polynomials (with row indexing starting at n = 1): R(n,x) = x*R(n-1,x) + (x + 1)*R(n-2,x) with R(1,x) = 1 and R(2,x) = x. - Peter Bala, Feb 07 2024

Seen as a square array read by antidiagonals this is the coefficient of x^k in expansion of 1/((1-x^2)*(1-x)^n) with rows A002620, A002623, A001752, A001753, A001769, A001779, A001780, A001781, A001786, A001808 etc. (allowing for signs). A058393 would then effectively provide the table for nonpositive n. - Henry Bottomley, Jun 25 2001
