Comments

In Pascal's triangle, the product of the six entries surrounding C(n,k) is a perfect square.

In fact, C(n-1,k-1)*C(n,k+1)*C(n+1,k) = C(n-1,k)*C(n+1,k+1)*C(n,k-1).

Formula

T(n,k) = sqrt(C(n-1,k-1)*C(n-1,k)*C(n,k+1)*C(n+1,k+1)*C(n+1,k)* C(n,k-1)).

T(n,k) = C(n-1,k-1)*C(n,k+1)*C(n+1,k) = C(n-1,k)*C(n+1,k+1)*C(n,k-1).

T(n,k) = 1/2*(n^3-n)*A056939(n-2,k-1), for n >= 2 and 1 <= k <= n-1.

Row sums are A197209.
