COMMENTS
The g.f. for the sequence of column r=4*k+j, k >= 0, j=1,2,3,4, of the staircase array A062985(n,r) is N(5; k,x)*(x^(k+1))/(1-x)^(4*k+1+j) with N(5; k,x) := sum(a(k,p)*x^p,p=0..4*k).
The m=0 column gives A002294(k+1). The row sums give A000012 (powers of 1) and (unsigned) A062987.
The sequence of step width of this staircase array is [1,4,4,4,...], i.e. the degree of the row polynomials is [0,4,8,12,...]= A008586.
FORMULA
a(k, p) := [x^p]N(5; k, x) with N(5; k, x)=(N(5; k-1, x)- A002294(k)*(1-x)^(4*k+1))/x, N(5; 0, x) := 1.
a(n, k)= a(n-1, k+1)+((-1)^k)*binomial(4*n+1, k+1)*binomial(5*n+1, n)/(5*n+1) if k=0, .., (4*n-5); a(n, k)= ((-1)^k)*binomial(4*n+1, k+1)*binomial(5*n+1, n)/(5*n+1) if k=(4*n-4), ..., 4*n; else 0.
EXAMPLE
{1}; {5,-10,10,-5,1}; {35,-170,415,-629,630,-420,180,-45,5}; ...; N(5; 1,x)= 5-10*x+10*x^2-5*x^3+x^4 = (1-(1-x)^5)/x.
