A230206 Trapezoid of dot products of row 3 (signs alternating) with sequential 4-tuples read by rows in Pascal's triangle A007318: T(n,k) is the linear combination of the 4-tuples (C(3,0), -C(3,1), C(3,2), -C(3,3)) and (C(n-1,k-3), C(n-1,k-2), C(n-1,k-1), C(n-1,k)), n >= 1, 0 <= k <= n+2. 7

%N Trapezoid of dot products of row 3 (signs alternating) with sequential 4-tuples read by rows in Pascal's triangle A007318: T(n,k) is the linear combination of the 4-tuples (C(3,0), -C(3,1), C(3,2), -C(3,3)) and (C(n-1,k-3), C(n-1,k-2), C(n-1,k-1), C(n-1,k)), n >= 1, 0 <= k <= n+2.

%C The array is trapezoidal rather than triangular because C(n,k) is not uniquely defined for all negative n and negative k.

%C Row sums are 0.

%C Coefficients of (x-1)^3 (x+1)^(n-1) for n > 0.
