COMMENTS
Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows given by [1,-2,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] DELTA [-1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938.
FORMULA
T(n,k) = T(n-2,k-2) - T(n-2,k), T(0,0)=T(1,0)=1, T(1,1)=-1.
G.f.: (1+(1-y)*x)/(1+(1-y^2)*x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Dec 02 2011
