%N Triangle T(n,k) with the coefficient [x^k] of the characteristic polynomial of the following n X n matrix: 2 on the main antidiagonal, -1 on the adjacent sub-antidiagonals and 0 otherwise.

%C We start from tri-antidiagonal variants of the Cartan A-n group matrix. For n=1 this is {2}, for n=2 this is {{-1,2},{2,-1}}, for n=3 {{0,-1,2},{-1,2,-1},{2,-1,0}}, for n =4 {{0,0,-1,2},{0,-1,2,-1},{-1,2,-1,0},{2,-1,0,0}} etc. The n-th row of the triangle are the expansion coefficients of the characteristic polynomial.

%C For n=0, the empty product of the empty matrix is assigned the value T(0,0)=1.

%C Row sums (characteristic polynomials evaluated at x=0) are 1, 1, 0, 3, -11, -16, 29, 21, 0, 55, -199, -288, 521, 377, 0, 987, -3571, -5168, 9349, 6765, 0, ... (see A038150).
