%N Triangle in which row n has the n(n+1)/2 elements of the lower triangular part of the inverse of the n-th order Hilbert matrix.
%C The n-th order Hilbert matrix has elements h(i,j) = 1/(i+j-1) for 1 <= i,j <=n. Only the lower triangular matrix is shown because the Hilbert matrix and its inverse are symmetric. The n-th row begins with n^2 and ends with A000515(n+1).
%C The sums of select rows of the inverse matrix are sequences A002457, A002736, A002738, A007531, and A054559.
%C The largest magnitude in the matrix is A210356(n). - T. D. Noe, Mar 28 2012
%C The sum of the elements of the n-th matrix is n^2. - T. D. Noe, Apr 02 2012
