Comments

The matrix inverse of H*[C^-1]*H is H*C*H = A118438, where H^2 = I (identity). The matrix log, log(T) = A118441, is a matrix square root of a triangular matrix with a single diagonal (two rows down from the main diagonal).

Programs

Mathematica

nmax = 12;
h[n_, k_] := Binomial[n, k]*(-1)^(Quotient[n+1, 2] - Quotient[k, 2]+n-k);
H = Table[h[n, k], {n, 0, nmax}, {k, 0, nmax}];
Cn = Table[Binomial[n, k], {n, 0, nmax}, {k, 0, nmax}];
Tn = H.Inverse[Cn].H;
T[n_, k_] := Tn[[n+1, k+1]];
Table[T[n, k], {n, 0, nmax}, {k, 0, n}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Apr 08 2024 *)

PARI

{T(n,k)=local(M=matrix(n+1,n+1,r,c,if(r>=c,binomial(r-1,c-1)*(-1)^(r\2- (c-1)\2+r-c))),C=matrix(n+1,n+1,r,c,if(r>=c,binomial(r-1,c-1))));(M*C^-1*M)[n+1,k+1]}

Formula

Since T + T^-1 = C + C^-1, then [T^-1](n,k) = (1+(-1)^(n-k))*C(n,k) - T(n,k) is a formula for the matrix inverse T^-1 = A118438.
