Comments

The matrix J(n) realizing the change of coordinates for n particles is

[1, -1, 0, 0, 0, ... 0],

[1/2, 1/2, -1, 0, ... 0],

[1/3, 1/3, 1/3, -1, 0 ... 0],

...

[1/n, 1/n, 1/n, 1/n, ... 1/n]

Diagonals T(n,1)=T(n,n-1) are A002805, corresponding to the fact that the matrix J(n) above has trace equal to the n-th harmonic number.

See A223256 for numerators.
