COMMENTS
T(n,n) = Fibonacci(n+1) = A000045(n+1).
A202390 is jointly generated with A208340 as an array of coefficients of polynomials v(n,x): initially, u(1,x)=v(1,x)=1; for n>1, u(n,x)=u(n-1,x)+x*v(n-1)x and v(n,x)=(x+1)*u(n-1,x)+(x+1)v(n-1,x). The alternating row sums of A202390, and also A208340, are 0 except for the first one. See the Mathematica section. [From Clark Kimberling, Feb 27 2012]
FORMULA
T(n,k) = 2*T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-2,k-2) - T(n-2,k) with T(0,0) = T(1,0) = T(1,1) = 1 and T(n,k) = 0 if k<0 or if n<k.
G.f.: (1-x)/(1-(2+y)*x+(1-y^2)*x^2).
Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} T(n,k)*x^k = (-1)^n*A108411(n), A000007(n), A000012(n), A025192(n), A122558(n) for x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 respectively.
