FORMULA
Let c, d, and g be given by: c(t) = (1-sqrt(1-4*t))/(2*t), d(t) = (1-(1+ 2*t)*sqrt(1-4*t) -(1-2*t)*sqrt(1+4*t) +sqrt(1-16*t^2))/(4*t^2), and
g(t, r) = d(t)*(t*c(t))^r*(t*c(t)^3 + 2*r*c(t)) then the rows are calculated by the expansion of g(t,k) for n>=0, 0 <= k <= n. - G. C. Greubel, Jan 17 2019
