Comments

Row sums are A009545(n+1), with e.g.f. exp(x)(cos(x)+sin(x)). Diagonal sums are A077948.

The rows are the diagonals of the Krawtchouk matrices. Coincides with the Riordan array (1/(1-x),(1-2x)/(1-x)). - Paul Barry, Sep 24 2004

Corresponds to Pascal-(1,-2,1) array, read by antidiagonals. The Pascal-(1,-2,1) array has n-th row generated by (1-2x)^n/(1-x)^(n+1). - Paul Barry, Sep 24 2004

A modified version (different signs) of this triangle is given by T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n} C(n-k,j)*C(k,j)*cos(Pi*(k-j)). - Paul Barry, Jun 14 2007

Programs

Mathematica

T[n_, k_] := Sum[Binomial[n - k, k - j]*Binomial[k, j]*(-1)^(k - j), {j, 0, n}]; Table[T[n, k], {n, 0, 49}, {k, 0, n}] // Flatten (* G. C. Greubel, Oct 15 2017 *)

PARI

for(n=0,10, for(k=0,n, print1(sum(i=0,k, binomial(n-k, k-i) *binomial(k, i)*(-1)^(k-i)), ", "))) \\ G. C. Greubel, Oct 15 2017

Formula

T(n, k) = Sum_{i=0..k} binomial(n-k, k-i)*binomial(k, i)*(-1)^(k-i), k<=n.

T(n, k) = T(n-1, k) + T(n-1, k-1) - 2*T(n-2, k-1) (n>0). - Paul Barry, Sep 24 2004

T(n, k) = [k<=n]*Hypergeometric2F1(-k,k-n;1;-1). - Paul Barry, Jan 24 2011

E.g.f. for the n-th subdiagonal: exp(x)*P(n,x), where P(n,x) is the polynomial Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(n,k)* x^k/k!. For example, the e.g.f. for the second subdiagonal is exp(x)*(1 - 2*x + x^2/2) = 1 - x - 2*x^2/2! - 2*x^3/3! - x^4/4! + x^5/5! + .... - Peter Bala, Mar 05 2017
