The columns of this triangle are related to factorial numbers (A000142).
There is a family of triangles T(m;n,k) = 1 + m*k*(n-k) for some fixed integer m (for m >= 0 see A296180, Comments) and 0 <= k <= n. They satisfy the equation T(-m;n,k) = 2 - T(m;n,k). The corresponding matrices inverse M = T^(-1) are given by: M(m;n,n) = 1 for n >= 0, and M(m;n,n-1) = m*(1-n) - 1 for n > 0, and M(m;n,k) = (-1)^(n-k) * m * (m * k*(k+1) + 1) * Product_{i=k+1..n-2} (m*(i+1) - 1) for 0 <= k <= n-2. For special cases of the M(m;n,k) see A338817 (m=-1), and A167374 (m=0), and this triangle (m=1).

FORMULA
|
T(n,n) = 1 for n >= 0, and T(n,n-1) = -n for n > 0, and T(n,n-2) = n^2 - 3*n + 3 for n > 1, and T(n,k) = (-1)^(n-k) * (k^2 + k + 1) * (n-2)! / k! for 0 <= k <= n-2.
T(n,k) = (2-n) * T(n-1,k) for 0 <= k < n-2.
T(n,k) = T(k+2,k) * (-1)^(n-k) * (n-2)! / k! for 0 <= k <= n-2.
Row sums are A000007(n) for n >= 0.
