COMMENTS
"The familiar appearance of the first few rows [...] provides a good example of the perils of too hasty extrapolation in mathematics." - Slepian.
The difference between this triangle and the one for which it can be so easily mistaken is A250002. - Tilman Piesk, Nov 10 2014.

FORMULA
From Petros Hadjicostas, Sep 30 2019: (Start)
T(n,k) = Sum_{i = k..n} A034253(i,k) for 1 <= k <= n.
G.f. for column k=2: -(x^3 - x - 1)*x^2/((x^2 + x + 1)*(x + 1)*(x - 1)^4).
G.f. for column k=3: -(x^12 - 2*x^11 + x^10 - x^9 - x^6 + x^4 - x - 1)*x^3/((x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1)*(x^2 + x + 1)^2*(x^2 + 1)*(x + 1)^2*(x - 1)^8).
G.f. for column k >= 4: modify the Sage program below (cf. function f). It is too complicated to write it here. (See also some of the links above.)
