Formula

From Petros Hadjicostas, Feb 20 2021: (Start)

H(n,0) = A122045(n).

H(0,k) = (-1)^n*A155585(n).

H(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n,i)*H(0,k+i).

H(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..k} (-1)^i*binomial(k,i)*H(n+k-i,0).

H(n,n) = A099023(n).

Bivariate e.g.f.: Sum_{n,k>=0} H(n,k)*(x^n/n!)*(y^k/k!) = 2*exp(x)/(1 + exp(2*(x+y))).

H(n,k) = (-1)^(n+k)*A239005(n+k,k), where the latter is a triangle.

H(n,k) = -A008280(n+k,k) if ((n+k) mod 4) == 1 or 2, and H(n,k) = A008280(n+k,k) if ((n+k) mod 4) == 3 or 0, provided A008280 is read as a triangle. (End)
