FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, May 31 2009: (Start)
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) = A080956(n).
Conjecture: Sum_{i=0..n} |T(n,k)| = A047926(n). (End)
T(n,k) = (-1)^k*Sum_{i=0..n-k} binomial(n+1,i+k+1)*binomial(i+k-1,k-1) for k > 0. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Nov 22 2016 [corrected by Werner Schulte, May 09 2024]
G.f.: (1-2*x)/(1-x)^2/(1-2*x+y*x). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Nov 22 2016
