COMMENTS
Number the rows of the triangle beginning with n=0. For each row construct a degree n polynomial with regularly decreasing powers, denoting the polynomial as f_n(x); e.g., for row 2 we have f_2(x)=1x^2+2x+0. Then construct g_n(x)=x^2*f_{n-1}(x)-(n+1)x+1. It obtains that g_n(x)=(1-x)(2-(1+x)^n). These g_n(x) are the denominators of the generating functions for the following sequences: A024537 (n=2); A195350 (n=3); A301417 (n=4); A301420 (n=5); A301421 (n=6); A301424 (n=7). For these sequences the asymptotic term-to-term ratios are 1/(2^(1/n)-1). The numerators of the generating functions are 1-x(x+1)^(n-1).
FORMULA
T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1) with T(n, 0) = 1 and T(n, n) = (n+1)*(2-n)/2.
