COMMENTS
Sum of terms in row n = sigma(n) (sum of divisors of n).
Euler's derivation of A127093 in polynomial form is in his proof of the formula for Sigma(n): (let S=Sigma, then Euler proved that S(n) = S(n-1) + S(n-2) - S(n-5) - S(n-7) + S(n-12) + S(n-15) - S(n-22) - S(n-26), ...).
[Young, pp. 365-366], Euler begins, s = (1-x)*(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)*... = 1 - x - x^2 + x^5 + x^7 - x^12 ...; log s = log(1-x) + log(1-x^2) + log(1-x^3) ...; differentiating and then changing signs, Euler has t = x/(1-x) + 2x^2/(1-x^2) + 3x^3/(1-x^3) + 4x^4/(1-x^4) + 5x^5/(1-x^5) + ...
Finally, Euler expands each term of t into a geometric series, getting A127093 in polynomial form: t =
x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8 + ...
+ 2x^2 + 2x^4 + 2x^6 + 2x^8 + ...
+ 3x^3 + 3x^6 + ...
+ 4x^4 + 4x^8 + ...
+ 5x^5 + ...
+ 6x^6 + ...
+ 7x^7 + ...
+ 8x^8 + ...
T(n,k) is the sum of all the k-th roots of unity each raised to the n-th power. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 02 2016
From Davis Smith, Mar 11 2019: (Start)
For n > 1, A020639(n) is the leftmost term, other than 0 or 1, in the n-th row of this array. As mentioned in the Formula section, the k-th column is period k: repeat [k, 0, 0, ..., 0], but this also means that it's the characteristic function of the multiples of k multiplied by k. T(n,1) = A000012(n), T(n,2) = 2*A059841(n), T(n,3) = 3*A079978(n), T(n,4) = 4*A121262(n), T(n,5) = 5*A079998(n), and so on.
The terms in the n-th row, other than 0, are the factors of n. If n > 1 and for every k, 1 <= k < n, T(n,k) = 0 or 1, then n is prime. (End)
From Gary W. Adamson, Aug 07 2019: (Start)
Row terms of the triangle can be used to calculate E(n) in A002654): (1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, ...), and A004018, the number of points in a square lattice on the circle of radius sqrt(n), A004018: (1, 4, 4, 0, 4, 8, 0, 0, 4, ...).
As to row terms in the triangle, let E(n) of even terms = 0,
E(integers of the form 4*k - 1 = (-1), and E(integers of the form 4*k + 1 = 1.
Then E(n) is the sum of the E(n)'s of the factors of n in the triangle rows. Example: E(10) = Sum: ((E(1) + E(2) + E(5) + E(10)) = ((1 + 0 + 1 + 0) = 2, matching A002654(10).
To get A004018, multiply the result by 4, getting A004018(10) = 8.
The total numbers of lattice points = 4r^2 = E(1) + ((E(2))/2 + ((E(3))/3 + ((E(4))/4 + ((E(5))/5 + .... Since E(even integers) are zero, E(integers of the form (4*k - 1)) = (-1), and E(integers of the form (4*k + 1)) = (+1); we are left with 4r^2 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - ..., which is approximately equal to Pi(r^2). (End)
T(n,k) is also the number of parts in the partition of n into k equal parts. - Omar E. Pol, May 05 2020

k-th column is composed of "k" interspersed with (k-1) zeros.
Let M = A127093 as an infinite lower triangular matrix and V = the harmonic series as a vector: [1/1, 1/2, 1/3, ...]. then M*V = d(n), A000005: [1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4, ...]. M^2 * V = A060640: [1, 5, 7, 17, 11, 35, 15, 49, 34, 55, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, May 10 2007
