With T(n,0) = n for n >= 0, this becomes J. M. Bergot's triangular array in the definition of A190730. - Petros Hadjicostas, Feb 15 2021

FORMULA
T(n, k) = (n + 1)*2^k - 1 for n >= 1 and 1 <= k <= n.
From Petros Hadjicostas, Feb 15 2021: (Start)
Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k) = A190730(n).
T(n,2) = 4*n + 3 for n >= 2.
T(n,n) = A087323(n).
T(n,n-1) = A099035(n) = (n+1)*2^(n-1) - 1 for n >= 2.
Recurrence: T(n,k) = 3*T(n,k-1) - 2*T(n,k-2) for n >= 2 and 2 <= k <= n with initial conditions the values of T(n, 1) and T(n,2).
Bivariate o.g.f.: Sum_{n,k>=1} T(n,k)*x^n*y^k = (4*x^3*y^2 - 2*x^2*y - 4*x*y - x + 3)*x*y/((1 - 2*x*y)^2*(1 - x*y)*(1 - x)^2). (End)
