%N Array: row n shows the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the n-th principal submatrix of the symmetric matrix A202869; by antidiagonals.
%C Let p(n)=p(n,x) be the characteristic polynomial of the n-th principal submatrix. The zeros of p(n) are positive, and they interlace the zeros of p(n+1).
