A187566
Let A be the infinite lower triangular Toplitz matrix with Sigma(n) in every column; and B the diagonalized, signed variant of A002040 with the rest zeros. Sequence gives the triangle in the lower half of A*B read by rows.

COMMENTS
Row sums = A000041, left border = A000203, main diagonal = A002040 (signed)
Equivalent to the statement that Sigma(n) convolved with A002040(signed +-+-+-...) = the partition numbers; such that (1 + 3x + 4x^2 +7x^3 + ...)*(1 -2x + 4x^2 - 8x^3 + ...) = (1 + x + 2x^2 + 3x^3 + 5x^4 + 7x^5 + ...).
A002040 = (1, 2, 4, 8, 21, 52, 131, 316, 765,...)
