A table of numerators of 1/n^2 - 1/m^2 extended to negative m looks as follows, stacked such that values of common m are aligned
and the central column of -1 is defined for m=0:
.............................0..-1...0...3...8..15..24..35..48..63..80..99. A005563
.........................0..-3..-1..-3...0...5...3..21...2..45..15..77...6. A061037
.....................0..-5..-8..-1..-8..-5...0...7..16...1..40..55...8..91. A061039
.................0..-7..-3.-15..-1.-15..-3..-7...0...9...5..33...3..65..21. A061041
.............0..-9.-16.-21.-24..-1.-24.-21.-16..-9...0..11..24..39..56...3. A061043

.....0.-13.-24.-33.-40.-45.-48..-1.-48.-45.-40.-33.-24.-13...0..15..32..51. A061047
.0.-15..-7.-39..-3.-55.-15.-63..-1.-63.-15.-55..-3.-39..-7.-15...0..17...9. A061049
The row-reversed variant of A120072 appears (negated) after the leftmost 0.
Equals A061035 with the first column removed. - Georg Fischer, Jul 26 2023
