%N Riordan array (1/(1+x)^3,x).

%C Sequence array for (-1)^n*C(n+2,2). Inverse of A122431. Row sums are -A083392(n+1). Antidiagonal sums are (-1)^n*A002623(n).

%C Call the unsigned version of this array M and for k = 0,1,2,... define M(k) to be the lower unit triangular block array

%C /I_k 0\

%C \ 0 M/

%C having the k X k identity matrix I_k as the upper left block; in particular, M(0) = M. The infinite matrix product M(0)*M(1)*M(2)*..., which is clearly well-defined, is equal to A127893. - _Peter Bala_, Jul 22 2014

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Apr 05 2020: (Start)

%C Triangle T(n, k) has the k=0 column (-1)^n*A000217(n+1) = (-1)^n*binomial(n+2, 2), then repeated and down-shifted.

%C The unsigned triangle, i.e., Tup(n, k) := (-1)^(n-k)*T(n-1,k-1) = binomial(n-k+2, 2) with n >= 1, k = 1..n, gives the number of triangles of length k (in some units), for k = 1..n, in the matchstick arrangement (or tower of cards, with n cards as basis) with an enclosing triangle of length n, but only triangles with orientation (up) like the enclosing triangle are counted. The total number of matchsticks (cards) is 3*A000217(n). (See the comment by _Andrew Howroyd_ in A085691). Recurrence: Tup(n, k) = 0 for n < k, Tup(1, 1) = 1, and Tup(n, k) = Tup(n-1, k) + n - k + 1, for n >= 2, k = 1..n. Row sums give A000292(n). (End)

%F Number triangle T(n, k) = [k<=n]*(-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n-k+2, 2).

%F Recurrence: T(n, k) = - T(n-1, k) + (-1)^(n-k)*(n-k+1), for n >= 0, and k = 0..n. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Apr 06 2020
