A235794
Triangle read by rows: T(n,k), n>=1, k>=1, in which column k starts with k zeros and then lists the odd numbers interleaved with k zeros, and the first element of column k is in row k(k+1)/2.

COMMENTS
It appears that the alternating row sums give A120444, the first differences of A004125, i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k) = A120444(n).
Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).

For n = 14 the 14th row of triangle is 13, 7, 0, 1, and the alternating sum is 13 - 7 + 0 - 1 = 5, the same as A120444(14) = 5.
