Apart from signs, identical to A078812.
Another version with row-leading 0's and differing signs is given by A285072.
G.f. for row polynomials S(n,x-2) (signed triangle): 1/(1+(2-x)*z+z^2). Unsigned triangle |a(n,m)| has g.f. 1/(1-(2+x)*z+z^2) for row polynomials.
Row sums (signed triangle) A049347(n) (periodic(1,-1,0)). Row sums (unsigned triangle) A001906(n+1)=F(2*(n+1)) (even-indexed Fibonacci).
In the language of Shapiro et al. (see A053121 for the reference) such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as a matrix, belongs to the Bell-subgroup of the Riordan-group.
The (unsigned) column sequences are A000027, A000292, A000389, A000580, A000582, A001288 for m=0..5, resp. For m=6..23 they are A010966..(+2)..A011000 and for m=24..49 they are A017713..(+2)..A017763.
Riordan array (1/(1+x)^2,x/(1+x)^2). Inverse array is A039598. Diagonal sums have g.f. 1/(1+x^2). - Paul Barry, Mar 17 2005. Corrected by Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2012.
Unsigned version is in A078812. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 05 2006
Also row n gives (except for an overall sign) coefficients of characteristic polynomial of the Cartan matrix for the root system A_n. - Roger L. Bagula, May 23 2007
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2012: (Start)
The A-sequence for this Riordan triangle is A115141, and the Z-sequence is A115141(n+1), n>=0. For A- and Z-sequences for Riordan matrices see the W. Lang link under A006232 with details and references.
S(n,x^2-2) = sum(r(j,x^2),j=0..n) with Chebyshev's S-polynomials and r(j,x^2) := R(2*j+1,x)/x, where R(n,x) are the monic integer Chebyshv T-polynomials with coefficients given in A127672. Proof from comparing the o.g.f. of the partial sum of the r(j,x^2) polynomials (see a comment on the signed Riordan triangle A111125) with the present Riordan type o.g.f. for the row polynomials with x -> x^2. (End)
S(n,x^2-2) = S(2*n+1,x)/x, n >= 0, from the odd part of the bisection of the o.g.f. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 17 2012
For a relation to a generator for the Narayana numbers A001263, see A119900, whose columns are unsigned shifted rows (or antidiagonals) of this array, referring to the tables in the example sections. - Tom Copeland, Oct 29 2014
The unsigned rows of this array are alternating rows of a mirrored A011973 and alternating shifted rows of A030528 for the Fibonacci polynomials. - Tom Copeland, Nov 04 2014
Boas-Buck type recurrence for column k >= 0 (see Aug 10 2017 comment in A046521 with references): a(n, m) = (2*(m + 1)/(n - m))*Sum_{k = m..n-1} (-1)^(n-k)*a(k, m), with input a(n, n) = 1, and a(n,k) = 0 for n < k. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 03 2020
Row n gives the characteristic polynomial of the (n X n)-matrix M where M[i,j] = 2 if i = j, -1 if |i-j| = 1 and 0 otherwise. The matrix M is positive definite and has 2-condition number (cot(Pi/(2*n+2)))^2. - Jianing Song, Jun 21 2022
Also the convolution triangle of (-1)^(n+1)*n. - Peter Luschny, Oct 07 2022

... Reformatted and extended by _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 13 2012
E.g., fourth row (n=3) {-4,10,-6,1} corresponds to the polynomial S(3,x-2) = -4+10*x-6*x^2+x^3.
From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 13 2012: (Start)
Recurrence: a(5,1) = 35 = 1*5 + (-2)*(-20) -1*(10).
Recurrence from Z-sequence [-2,-1,-2,-5,...]: a(5,0) = -6 = (-2)*5 + (-1)*(-20) + (-2)*21 + (-5)*(-8) + (-14)*1.
Recurrence from A-sequence [1,-2,-1,-2,-5,...]: a(5,1) = 35 = 1*5  + (-2)*(-20) + (-1)*21 + (-2)*(-8) + (-5)*1.
(End)
E.g., the fourth row (n=3) {-4,10,-6,1} corresponds also to the polynomial S(7,x)/x = -4 + 10*x^2 - 6*x^4 + x^6. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Dec 17 2012
Boas-Buck type recurrence: -56 = a(5, 2) = 2*(-1*1 + 1*(-6) - 1*21) = -2*28 = -56. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jun 03 2020

This array is a member of a Catalan family (A091867) related by compositions of C(x)= (1-sqrt(1-4*x))/2, an o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108, its inverse Cinv(x) = x(1-x), and the special linear fractional (Möbius) transformation P(x,t) = x / (1+t*x) with inverse P(x,-t) in x.
O.g.f.: G(x) = P[P[Cinv(x),-1],-1] = P[Cinv(x),-2] = x*(1-x)/(1 - 2*x*(1-x)) = x*A146599(x).
Ginv(x) = C[P(x,2)] = (1 - sqrt(1-4*x/(1+2*x)))/2 = x*A126930(x).
G(-x) = -(x*(1+x) - 2*(x*(1+x))^2 + 2^2*(x*(1+x))^3 - ...), and so this array contains the -row sums of A030528 * Diag(1, (-2)^1, 2^2, (-2)^3, ...).
The inverse of -G(-x) is -C[-P(x,-2)]= (-1 + sqrt(1+4*x/(1-2*x)))/2, an o.g.f. for A210736 with a(0) set to zero there. (End)

Let {a_(k,i)}, k>=1, i=0,...,k, be the k-th antidiagonal of the array. Then s_k(n) = Sum_{i=0..k}a_(k,i)* binomial(n,k) is the n-th element of the k-th column of A111808. For example, s_1(n) = binomial(n,1) = n is the first column of A111808 for n>1, s_2(n) = binomial(n,1) + binomial(n,2) is the second column of A111808 for n>1, etc. Therefore, in cases k=3,4,5,6,7,8, s_k(n) is A005581(n), A005712(n), A000574(n), A005714(n), A005715(n), A005716(n), respectively.

Number of ordered trees with n edges having k leaves at odd height. Row sums are the Catalan numbers (A000108). T(n,0)=A005043(n). Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = binomial(2n-2,n-1).
T(n,k)=number of Dyck paths of semilength n and having k ascents of length 1 (an ascent is a maximal string of consecutive up steps). Example: T(4,2)=6 because we have UdUduud, UduuddUd, uuddUdUd, uudUdUdd, UduudUdd and uudUddUd (the ascents of length 1 are indicated by U instead of u).
T(n,k) is the number of Łukasiewicz paths of length n having k level steps (i.e., (1,0)). A Łukasiewicz path of length n is a path in the first quadrant from (0,0) to (n,0) using rise steps (1,k) for any positive integer k, level steps (1,0) and fall steps (1,-1) (see R. P. Stanley, Enumerative Combinatorics, Vol. 2, Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 1999, p. 223, Exercise 6.19w; the integers are the slopes of the steps). Example: T(4,1)=4 because we have HU(2)DD, U(2)HDD, U(2)DHD and U(2)DDH, where H=(1,0), U(1,1), U(2)=(1,2) and D=(1,-1). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 06 2005
T(n,k) = number of noncrossing partitions of [n] containing k singleton blocks. Also, T(n,k) = number of noncrossing partitions of [n] containing k adjacencies. An adjacency is an occurrence of 2 consecutive integers in the same block (here 1 and n are considered consecutive). In fact, the statistics # singletons and # adjacencies have a symmetric joint distribution.
Exponential Riordan array [e^x*(Bessel_I(0,2x)-Bessel_I(1,2x)),x]. - Paul Barry, Mar 03 2011
T(n,k) is the number of ordered trees having n edges and exactly k nodes with one child. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 25 2013

Summing the coeff. of the partitions in A134264 for a Lagrange inversion formula (see also A249548) containing (h_1)^k = (1')^k gives this triangle, so this array's o.g.f. H(x,t) = x + t * x^2 + (1 + t^2) * x^3 ... is the inverse of the o.g.f. of A104597 with a sign change, i.e., H^(-1)(x,t) = (x-x^2) / [1 + (t-1)(x-x^2)] = Cinv(x)/[1 + (t-1)Cinv(x)] = P[Cinv(x),t-1] where Cinv(x)= x * (1-x) is the inverse of C(x) = [1-sqrt(1-4*x)]/2, an o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108, and P(x,t) = x/(1+t*x) with inverse Pinv(x,t) = -P(-x,t) = x/(1-t*x). Therefore,
O.g.f.: H(x,t) = C[Pinv(x,t-1)] = C[P(x,1-t)] = C[x/(1-(t-1)x)] = {1-sqrt[1-4*x/(1-(t-1)x)]}/2 (for A091867). Reprising,
Inverse O.g.f.: H^(-1)(x,t) = x*(1-x) / [1 + (t-1)x(1-x)] = P[Cinv(x),t-1].
From general arguments in A134264, the row polynomials are an Appell sequence with lowering operator d/dt, having the umbral property (p(.,t)+a)^n=p(n,t+a) with e.g.f. = e^(x*t)/w(x), where 1/w(x)= e.g.f. of first column for the Motzkin numbers in A005043. (Mislabeled argument corrected on Jan 31 2016.)

O.g.f.: H(x,t) = {1-sqrt[1-4x/(1-(t-1)x)]}/2 (shifted index, as given in Copeland's comment, see comp. inverse there).
H(x,t)= x / [1-(C.+(t-1))x] = Sum_{n>=1} (C.+ (t-1))^(n-1)*x^n umbrally, e.g., (a.+b.)^2 = a_0*b_2 + 2 a_1*b1_+ a_0*b_2, where (C.)^n = C_n are the Catalan numbers (1,1,2,5,14,..) of A000108.
This shows directly that the lowering operator for the polynomials is D=d/dt, i.e., D p(n,t)= D(C. + (t-1))^n = n * (C. + (t-1))^(n-1) = n*p(n-1,t), so that the polynomials form an Appell sequence, and that p(n,0) gives a Motzkin sum, or Riordan, number A005043.

The row polynomials N(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/2)} T(n-1,k)*x^k, and D(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} A034839(n,k)*x^k, n >= 1, satisfy the recurrences N(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + N(n-1,x), D(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + x*N(n-1,x), with inputs N(1,x) = 1 = D(1,x). This is due to the Pascal triangle A007318 recurrence. Q(n,x) := tan(n*x)/tan(x) satisfies the recurrence Q(n,x) = (1 + Q(n-1,x))/(1 - v(x)*Q(n-1,x)) with input Q(1,x) = 1 and v = v(x) := (tan(x))^2. This recurrence is obtained from the addition theorem for tan(n*x) using n = 1 + (n-1). Therefore Q(n,x) = N(n,-v(x))/D(n,-v(x)). This proves the Gary W. Adamson contribution from above. See also A220673. This calculation was motivated by an e-mail of Thomas Olsen. The Oliver/Prodinger and Ma references resort to HAKEM Al Memo 239, Item 16, for the tan(n*x) formula in terms of tan(x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 17 2013
The infinitesimal generator (infinigen) for the Narayana polynomials A090181/A001263 can be formed from the row polynomials P(n,y) of this entry. The resulting matrix is an instance of a matrix representation of the analytic infinigens presented in A145271 for general sets of binomial Sheffer polynomials and in A001263 and A119900 specifically for the Narayana polynomials. Given the column vector of row polynomials V = (1, P(1,x) = 2x, P(2,y) = 3x + x^2, P(3,y) = 4x + 4x^2, ...), form the lower triangular matrix M(n,k) = V(n-k,n-k), i.e., diagonally multiply the matrix with all ones on the diagonal and below by the components of V. Form the matrix MD by multiplying A132440^Transpose = A218272 = D (representing derivation of o.g.f.s) by M, i.e., MD = M*D. The non-vanishing component of the first row of (MD)^n * V / (n+1)! is the n-th Narayana polynomial. - Tom Copeland, Dec 09 2015

This is a signed version of A011973 (Fibonacci polynomials) with different offset.
The sequence of row lengths is [1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,...] = A008619(n-1), n>=1.
The row sums give the period 6 sequence [1,1,0,-1,-1,0,...] = A010892(n-1), n>=1.
The o.g.f. for the column m sequence (with leading zeros) is ((-1)^m)*x^(2*m+1)/(1-x)^(m+1).
The unsigned row sums give the Fibonacci numbers A000045(n-1), n>=1.
The row polynomial are P(n,x):= Sum_{m=0..ceiling(n/2)-1} a(n,m)*x^m = (sqrt(x)^(n-1))*S(n-1,1/sqrt(x)), n>=1, with Chebyshev's S(n,x) polynomials A049310.
These polynomials appear in the formula 1/c(x)^n = P(n+1,x) - x*P(n,x)*c(x), n>=1, with the o.g.f. c(x):=(1-sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x) of A000108 (Catalan numbers). See the W. Lang reference, eqs. (1) and (2), p. 408, with P(n,x):=p(-n,x).
These polynomials also appear in the formula c(x)^n = (-P(n-1,x) + P(n,x)*c(x))/x^(n-1), n>=1, with the above given o.g.f. c(x) of A000108 (Catalan numbers). See the W. Lang reference, eq. (1), with P(n,x):=p(-n,x).
With offset n>=0 this array a(n,m) coincides with the row reversed coefficient table of Chebyshev's S-polynomials without interspersed zeros. See A049310 for the S(n,x) coefficient table with increasing powers of x.
The polynomials with this sequence as coefficients form the set of so-called "Catalan polynomials", having arisen from computations in looking at the problem of 'fitting' iterated generating function schemes to the Catalan sequence. A neighboring pair forms the basis of a first-order linear recurrence that generates, through a succession of iterated generating functions (polynomials in Z[x]), a predetermined number of Catalan numbers before 'failing' - see the Clapperton et al. 2008 reference in Utilitas Mathematica, where some of the essential mathematical properties of the Catalan polynomials are also listed (based mainly on existing results for Dickson and Chebyshev polynomials, to which they are related). - Peter J Larcombe, Sep 16 2008
In the Clapperton et al. 2008 Congressus Numerantium paper, a new class of nonlinear identities satisfied by Catalan polynomials are presented. They arise from the algebraic implementation of particular cases of a general root finding formulation due to Householder, of which the classic O(2) Newton-Raphson and O(3) Halley algorithms are special cases. The role of Catalan polynomials in forming Padé approximants to the Catalan sequence o.g.f. is also discussed. - Peter J Larcombe, Nov 02 2008
These polynomials appear in the following statements: (i) P(k+1,x)/P(k+2,x) is the g.f. of all ordered trees (Dyck paths) of height at most k; (ii) x^k/(P(k+1,x)*P(k+2,x)) is the g.f. of all ordered trees (Dyck paths) of height k. See the de Bruijn et al., the Kreweras, the Sedgewick and Flajolet (p. 258), and the Flajolet and Sedgewick (p. 326) references. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 16 2011
For a mirrored, shifted version showing the relation of these coefficients to the Pascal triangle, Fibonacci, and other number triangles, see A030528. See also A053122 for a relation to Cartan matrices. (Cf. A011973, A169803, A115139, A092865, A098925, and A102426.) - Tom Copeland, Nov 04 2014
M. Sinan Kul, Dec 09 2015, observed that (in a rewritten form) Chebyshev's S polynomials A049310 are given by S(n, x) = Sum_{m=0..floor(n/2)} a(n+1, m)*x^(n-2*m), n >= 0. This formula is well known and can be proved from the S recurrence by induction using the recurrence for the binomial coefficients. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 01 2016
These are the coefficients of generalized Fibonacci polynomials (see link bellow). - Rigoberto Florez, Aug 28 2022

Let A(n) be the n X n matrix with -1's along the main diagonal, 1's everywhere above the main diagonal, and 1's along the subdiagonal. Then a(n) equals (-1)^(n-1) times the sum of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of A(n-1), for all n>1 (see Mathematica code below). - John M. Campbell, Mar 16 2012
Start with x(0)=1, y(0)=0, z(0)=0 and set x(n+1) = x(n) - z(n), y(n+1) = y(n) - x(n), z(n+1) = z(n) - y(n). Then a(n) = -y(n). But this recurrence falls into a repetitive cycle of length 6 and multiplicative factor -27, so that a(n) = -27*a(n-6) for any n>6. - Stanislav Sykora, Jun 10 2012

Third binomial transform of A000108. In general, the k-th binomial transform of A000108 will have g.f. (1-sqrt((1-(k+4)*x)/(1-k*x)))/(2*x), e.g.f. exp((k+2)*x)*(BesselI(0,2*x) - BesselI(1,2*x)) and a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} C(n,i)*C(i)*k^(n-i).
Hankel transform of this sequence gives A000012 = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...]. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 24 2007
In general, the k-th binomial transform of A000108 can be generated from M^n, M = the production matrix of the form shown in the formula section, with a diagonal (k+1, k+1, k+1, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 21 2011

This array is one of a family of Catalan arrays related by compositions of the special fractional linear (Möbius) transformations P(x,t) = x/(1-t*x); its inverse Pinv(x,t) = P(x,-t); and an o.g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108, C(x) = [1-sqrt(1-4*x)]/2; and its inverse Cinv(x) = x*(1-x). (Cf A091867.)
O.g.f.: G(x) = C[P[P[P(x,-1),-1]]-1] = C[P(x,-3)] = [1-sqrt(1-4*x/(1-3*x)]/2 = x*A104455(x).
Ginv(x) = Pinv[Cinv(x),-3]= P[Cinv(x),3] = x*(1-x)/[1+3*x*(1-x)] = (x-x^2)/[1+3(x-x^2)] = x*A125145(-x). (Cf. A030528.) (End)
