FORMULA
T(n, k) = c_k(n) = Sum_{m=1..k, (m,k)=1} cos(2*Pi*m*n / k) = mu(k/gcd(k,n)) * phi(k) / phi(k/gcd(k,n)) = Sum_{d | gcd(k,n)} mu(k/d) * d. (All formulas were proved by Kluyver (1906, p. 410).) - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 20 2019
EXAMPLE
Triangle T(n,k) (with rows n >= 1 and columns k >= 1) begins as follows:
1;
1, 1;
1, -1, 2;
1, 1, -1, 2;
1, -1, -1, 0, 4;
1, 1, 2, -2, -1, 2;
1, -1, -1, 0, -1, 1, 6;
1, 1, -1, 2, -1, -1, -1, 4;
1, -1, 2, 0, -1, -2, -1, 0, 6;
...
