%C A236106 Gives an identity for the twice sigma function (A074400), the sum of the even divisors of 2n.
%C A236106 Alternating sum of row n equals A074400(n), i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k) = 2*A000203(n) = A074400(n).
%C A236106 Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).
%C A236106 The number of positive terms in row n is A001227(n).

%e A236106 For n = 9 the divisors of 2*9 = 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, therefore the sum of the even divisors of 18 is 2 + 6 + 18 = 26. On the other hand the 9th row of triangle is 34, 14, 6, therefore the alternating row sum is 34 - 14 + 6 = 26, equaling the sum of the even divisors of 18.
%e A236106 If n is even then the alternating sum of the n-th row of triangle is simpler than the sum of the even divisors of 2n. Example: for n = 12 the sum of the even divisors of 2*12 = 24 is 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 56, and the alternating sum of the 12th row of triangle is 46 - 0 + 10 - 0 = 56.
