COMMENTS
The (n,k)-entry of the square array is p(n,k) in the R. Kemp reference (see Table 1 on p. 160 and Theorem 2 on p. 159). - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 16 2011

FORMULA
An explicit expression for the (n,k)-entry of the square array can be found in the R. Kemp reference (Theorem 2 on p. 159). - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 16 2011
The g.f. of column k is (1 + v^2)*(1 - v^(k+1))/((1 - v)*(1 + v^(k+2))), where v = (1 - sqrt(1-4*z^2))/(2*z) (see p. 159 of the R. Kemp reference). - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 16 2011
EXAMPLE
Rows start:
1,0,0,0,0,...;
1,1,1,1,1,...;
1,1,2,2,4,...;
1,1,2,3,5,...;
etc.
MAPLE
v := ((1-sqrt(1-4*z^2))*1/2)/z: G := proc (k) options operator, arrow: (1+v^2)*(1-v^(k+1))/((1-v)*(1+v^(k+2))) end proc: a := proc (n, k) options operator, arrow: coeff(series(G(k), z = 0, 80), z, n) end proc: for n from 0 to 15 do seq(a(n, k), k = 0 .. 15) end do; # yields the first 16 entries of the first 16 rows of the square array
v := ((1-sqrt(1-4*z^2))*1/2)/z: G := proc (k) options operator, arrow: (1+v^2)*(1-v^(k+1))/((1-v)*(1+v^(k+2))) end proc: a := proc (n, k) options operator, arrow: coeff(series(G(k), z = 0, 80), z, n) end proc: for n from 0 to 13 do seq(a(n-i, i), i = 0 .. n) end do; # yields the first 14 antidiagonals of the square array in triangular form
MATHEMATICA
v = (1-Sqrt[1-4z^2])/(2z); f[k_] = (1+v^2)*(1-v^(k+1))/((1-v)*(1+v^(k+2))) ; m = 14; a = Table[ PadRight[ CoefficientList[ Series[f[k], {z, 0, m}], z], m], {k, 0, m}]; Flatten[Table[a[[n+1-k, k]], {n, m}, {k, n, 1, -1}]][[;; 95]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 13 2011, after Emeric Deutsch *)
PROG
(PARI) T(n, k) = sum(j=floor(-n/(k+2)), ceil(n/(k+2)), (-1)^j*binomial(n, floor((n+(k+2)*j)/2))); \\ Stefano Spezia, May 08 2020
CROSSREFS
Rows include effectively A000007, A000012, A016116, A000045, A038754, A028495, A030436, A061551. Central and lower diagonals are A001405. Cf. A068913 for starting in the middle rather than an edge.
