Formula

Form the n X n Hankel matrices F(i+j-1), 1<=i, j<=n for the Fibonacci numbers and take the characteristic polynomials of these matrices. Triangle rows give coefficients of these characteristic polynomials. (Construction described by Michael Somos in A064831). Diagonal is (-1)^n*F(2n+2). Subdiagonal is A064831. Row sums are A110034. The unsigned matrix has row sums A110035.
