From Amiram Eldar, May 15 2023: (Start)
Named "Lucas triangle" by Josef (1983), and "Josef's triangle" by Koshy (2007).
The rows of the triangle are the antidiagonals of the array in which the 0th row is T(0, k) = Lucas(k) = A000032(k), the 1st row is T(1, k) = Fibonacci(k+2) = A000045(k+2), and each subsequent row is the sum of the previous 2 rows.
The central elements in the even rows are in A127546, starting from the 2nd row, i.e., the central element of the k-th row, for even k >= 2, is A127546(k/2-1). (End)
