Comments

A row of A(0,k)= 1 is added on top of the array shown in A172157, which is then read upwards by antidiagonals.

One may also interpret this as appending a 1 to each row of A173651 or adding a column of -1's and a diagonal of +1's to A165507.

Formula

A(n, k) = numerator(1/n^2 - 1/k^2) with A(0,k) = 1 and A(n,0) = -1 (array).

A(n, 0) = -A158388(n).

A(n, k) = A172157(n,k), n>=1.

From G. C. Greubel, Mar 10 2022: (Start)

T(n, k) = numerator(1/(n-k)^2 -1/k^2), with T(n,n) = 1, T(n,0) = -1 (triangle).

A(n, n) = T(2*n, n) = 0^n.

Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k) = 0^n.

T(n, n-k) = -T(n,k).

T(2*n+1, n) = -A005408(n). (End)

Example

The array, A(n, k), of numerators starts in row n=0 with columns m>=0 as:
  .1...1...1...1...1...1...1...1...1...1...1.
  -1...0...3...8..15..24..35..48..63..80..99. A005563, A147998
  -1..-3...0...5...3..21...2..45..15..77...6. A061037, A070262
  -1..-8..-5...0...7..16...1..40..55...8..91. A061039
Antidiagonal triangle, T(n, k), begins as:
   1;
  -1,   1;
  -1,   0,   1;
  -1,  -3,   3,  1;
  -1,  -8,   0,  8,  1;
  -1, -15,  -5,  5, 15,  1;
  -1, -24,  -3,  0,  3, 24,  1;
  -1, -35, -21, -7,  7, 21, 35, 1;
