%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k), n>=1, k>=1, in which column k lists the numbers A016945 interleaved with k-1 zeros, and the first element of column k is in row k(k+1)/2.
%C Alternating sum of row n equals 3 times sigma(n), i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k) = 3*A000203(n) = A272027(n).
%C Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).
%C The number of positive terms in row n is A001227(n).
%C If T(n,k) = 9 then T(n+1,k+1) = 3 is the first element of the column k+1.
%C For more information see A196020.
%F T(n,k) = 3*A196020(n,k) = A196020(n,k) + A236106(n,k).

%e For n = 9 the divisors of 9 are 1, 3, 9, therefore the sum of the divisors of 9 is 1 + 3 + 9 = 13 and 3*13 = 39. On the other hand the 9th row of triangle is 51, 21, 9, therefore the alternating row sum is 51 - 21 + 9 = 39, equaling 3 times sigma(9).
%Y Column 1 is A016945.
