%N A140414 Triangle T(p,s) showing the coefficients of sequences which are half their p-th differences.
%C A140414 The p-th differences of a sequence a(n) are Delta^p(n) = sum_{l=0}^p (-1)^(l+p)*binomial(p,l)*a(n+l).
%C A140414 Setting this equal to 2*a(n) as demanded gives a recurrence with coefficients tabulated here,
%C A140414 a(n+p) = sum_{s=1..p} T(p,s)*a(n+p-s).
%F A140414 T(p,p) = 3 if p odd, =1 if p even. T(p,s) = (-1)^(s+1)*A014410(p,s), s<p.
%F A140414 Sum_{s=0..p} T(p,s) = 3.
%F A140414 Sum_{s=0..p} |T(p,s)| = A062510(n+1).
%e A140414 The triangle starts in row p=0 as:
%e A140414    3; (p=1, example A000244, a(n+1)=3*a(n) )
%e A140414    2,  1; (p=2 example A000244 or A000129, a(n+2) = 2*a(n+1)+a(n) )
%e A140414    3, -3,  3; (p=3 example A052103 or A136297, a(n+3) = 3*a(n+2)-3*a(n+1)+3*a(n) )
