%N Irregular triangular array read by rows: row n gives the coefficients of the second of two factors of even-degree polynomials described in Comments.

%C Let p(n) denote the polynomial (1/n!)*(numerator of n-th derivative of (1-x)/(1-x-x^2)). It is conjectured in A326925 that if n = 2k, then p(n) = f(k)*g(k), where f(k) and g(k) are polynomials of degree k. Row k of the present array shows the coefficients of f(k).

%C It appears that, after the first term, column 1 consists of the Lucas numbers, L(k), for k >= 1; see A000032. It appears that after the first row, the row sums are L(2k+1), for k >= 1.
