Coefficients of the (left, normalized) shifted cyclotomic polynomial. Or, coefficients of the basic n-th q-series for q=-2. Indeed, let Y_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n} x^k, having as roots all the n-th roots of unity except for 0; then coefficients in x of (-1)^n Y_n(-x-1) give exactly the n-th row of A059260 and a practical way to compute it. - Olivier Gérard, Jul 30 2002
The maximum in the (2n)-th row is T(n,n), which is A026641; also T(n,n) ~ (2/3)*binomial(2n,n). The maximum in the (2n-1)-th row is T(n-1,n), which is A014300 (but T does not have the same definition as in A026637); also T(n-1,n) ~ (1/3)*binomial(2n,n). Here is a generalization of the formula given in A026641: T(i,j) = Sum_{k=0..j} binomial(i+k-x,j-k)*binomial(j-k+x,k) for all x real (the proof is easy by induction on i+j using T(i,j) = T(i-1,j) + T(i,j-1)). - Claude Morin, May 21 2002
The second greatest term in the (2n)-th row is T(n-1,n+1), which is A014301; the second greatest term in the (2n+1)-th row is T(n+1,n) = 2*T(n-1,n+1), which is 2*A014301. - Claude Morin
Diagonal sums give A008346. - Paul Barry, Sep 23 2004

Columns of the triangle (cf. Example below) give alternate partial sums along nw-se diagonals of the Pascal triangle, i.e., sequences A000035, A004526, A002620 (or A087811), A002623 (or A173196), A001752, A001753, A001769, A001779, A001780, A001781, A001786, A001808, etc.
The dimension of the space of closed currents (distributional forms) of degree p on Gr(n), the Grassmann algebra with n generators, equivalently, the dimension of the space of Gr(n)-valued symmetric multilinear forms with vanishing graded divergence, is V(n,p) = 2^n T(p,n-1) - (-1)^p.
If p is odd V(n,p) is also the dimension of the cyclic cohomology group of order p of the Z2 graded algebra Gr(n).
If p is even the dimension of this cohomology group is V(n,p)+1.

The following remarks assume the row indexing starts at n = 1.
The sequence of row polynomials R(n,x), beginning R(1,x) = 1, R(2,x) = x, R(3,x) = 1 + x + x^2 , ..., is a strong divisibility sequence of polynomials in the ring Z[x]; that is, for all positive integers n and m, poly_gcd( R(n,x), R(m,x)) = R(gcd(n, m), x) - apply Norfleet (2005), Theorem 3. Consequently, the polynomial sequence {R(n,x): n >= 1} is a divisibility sequence; that is, if n divides m then R(n,x) divides R(m,x) in Z[x]. (End)
From Miquel A. Fiol, Oct 04 2024 (Start):
For j>=1, T(i,j) is the independence number of the (i-j)-supertoken graph FF_(i-j)(S_j) of the star graph S_j with j points.
(Given a graph G on n vertices and an integer k>=1, the k-supertoken (or reduced k-th power) FF_k(G) of G has vertices representing configurations of k indistinguishable tokens in the (not necessarily different) vertices of G, with two configurations being adjacent if one can be obtained from the other by moving one token along an edge. See an example below.)
Following the suggestion of Peter Munn, the k-supertoken graph FF_k(S_j) can also be defined as follows: Consider the Lattice graph L(k,j), whose vertices are the k^j j-vectors with elements in the set {0,..,k-1}, two being adjacent if they differ in just one coordinate by one unity. Then, FF_k(S_j) is the subgraph of L(k+1,j) induced by the vertices at distance at most k from (0,..,0).

T(i, 0) = 1 if i is even or 0 if i is odd, T(0, i) = 1 and otherwise T(i, j) = T(i-1, j) + T(i, j-1); also T(i, j) = Sum_{m=j..i+j} (-1)^(i+j+m)*binomial(m, j). - Robert FERREOL, May 17 2002
T(i, j) ~ (i+j)/(2*i+j)*binomial(i+j, j); more precisely, abs(T(i, j)/binomial(i+j, j) - (i+j)/(2*i+j) )<=1/(4*(i+j)-2); the proof is by induction on i+j using the formula 2*T(i, j) = binomial(i+j, j)+T(i, j-1). - Claude Morin, May 21 2002
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^(n-j)binomial(j, k). - Paul Barry, Aug 25 2004

Recurrence for row polynomials (with row indexing starting at n = 1): R(n,x) = x*R(n-1,x) + (x + 1)*R(n-2,x) with R(1,x) = 1 and R(2,x) = x. - Peter Bala, Feb 07 2024
From Miquel A. Fiol, Sep 30 2024 (Start):
The triangle can be seen as a slice of a 3-dimensional table that links it to well-known sequences as follows.
The j-th column of the triangle, T(i,j) for i >= j, equals A(n,c1,c2) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(c1+2*k-1,2*k)*binomial(c2+n-2*k-1,n-2*k) when c1=1, c2=j, and n=i-j.
This gives T(i,j) = Sum_{k=0..floor((i-j)/2)} binomial(i-2*k-1, j-1). For other values of (c1,c2), see the example below.
