Comments

Columns are partial sums of the columns of A004248. Row sums are A104879. Diagonal sums are A104880.

The rows of this triangle (apart from the initial "1" in each row) are the antidiagonals of rectangle A055129. The diagonals of this triangle (apart from the initial "1") are the rows of rectangle A055129. The columns of this triangle (apart from the leftmost column) are the same as the columns of rectangle A055129 but shifted downward. - Mathew Englander, Dec 21 2020
