COMMENTS
The n-th row of the triangle T(n,k) is the coefficient sequence of a generating polynomial admitting a recursive formula given in Theorem 4.3 of the paper by A. Radhakrishnan et al. below.
The sum of the entries in the n-th row is A318406(n).
The entries in the n-th row appear to alway form a unimodal sequence.

FORMULA
A recursion whose n-th iteration is a polynomial with coefficient vector the n-th row of T(n,k):
W_0 = 0
W_1 = 1
W_2 = 1
W_3 = 1 + x
W_4 = 1 + 2*x
for n>4:
if n is even:
W_n = W_{n-1} + x*W_{n-2}
if n is odd:
W_n = (x + 2)*W_{n-2} + (x^3 - x^2 + x-2)*W_{n-3} + (x^2 + 1)*W_{n-4}
(see Theorem 4.3 of Radhakrishnan et al. for proof.)
