Table of n, a(n) for n=0..77.

Formula

T(n,n) = 1 for n >= 0; T(n,n-1) = n-1 for n > 0.

T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + 2 * T(n-2,k) for 0 <= k <= n-2.

T(n,k) = 2 * T(n-1,k) - (k-2) * (-1)^(n-k) for 0 <= k < n.

T(n,k) = T(n+1-k,1) + (k-1) * T(n-k,1) for 0 <= k < n.

T(n+1,k) * T(n-1,k) - T(n,k+1) * T(n,k-1) = T(n-k,1)^2 for 0 < k < n.

Row sums are A083579(n+1) for n >= 0.

G.f. of column k >= 0: (1+(k-1)*t) * t^k / (1-t-2*t^2).

G.f.: Sum_{n>=0, k=0..n} T(n,k) * x^k * t^n = (1 - (1+x)*t + 2*x*t^2) / ((1 - x*t)^2 * (1 - t - 2*t^2)).

Conjecture: Let M(n,k) be the matrix inverse of T(n,k), seen as a matrix. Then M(i,j) = 0 if j < 0 or j > i, M(n,n) = 1 for n >= 0, M(n,n-1) = 1-n for n > 0, and M(n,k) = (-1)^(n-k) * (k^2-2) * (n-2)! / k! for 0 <= k <= n-2.
