Compare to the corresponding array A108553 of crystal ball sequences for D_n lattice.
This array has a remarkable relationship with the constant zeta(2). The row, column and diagonal entries of the array occur in series acceleration formulas for zeta(2).
For the entries in row n we have zeta(2) = 2*(1 - 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 - ... + (-1)^(n+1)/n^2) + (-1)^n*Sum_{k >= 1} 1/(k^2*T(n,k-1)*T(n,k)). For example, n = 4 gives zeta(2) = 2*(1 - 1/4 + 1/9 - 1/16) + 1/(1*21) + 1/(4*21*131) + 1/(9*131*471) + ... . See A142995 for further details.
For the entries in column k we have zeta(2) = (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + ... + 1/k^2) + 2*Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(n^2*T(n-1,k)*T(n,k)). For example, k = 4 gives zeta(2) = (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16) + 2*(1/(1*9) - 1/(4*9*61) + 1/(9*61*309) - ... ). See A142999 for further details.
Also, as consequence of Apery's proof of the irrationality of zeta(2), we have a series acceleration formula along the main diagonal of the table: zeta(2) = 5 * Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(n^2*T(n,n)*T(n-1,n-1)) = 5*(1/3 - 1/(2^2*3*19) + 1/(3^2*19*147) - ...).
There also appear to be series acceleration results along other diagonals. For example, for the main subdiagonal, calculation supports the result zeta(2) = 2 - Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)*(n^2+(2*n+1)^2)/(n^2*(n+1)^2*T(n,n-1)*T(n+1,n)) = 2 - 10/(2^2*7) + 29/(6^2*7*55) - 58/(12^2*55*471) + ..., while for the main superdiagonal we appear to have zeta(2) = 1 + Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)*((n+1)^2 + (2*n+1)^2)/(n^2*(n+1)^2*T(n-1,n)*T(n,n+1)) = 1 + 13/(2^2*5) - 34/(6^2*5*37) + 65/(12^2*37*309) - ... .
Similar series acceleration results hold for Apery's constant zeta(3) involving the crystal ball sequences for the product lattices A_n x A_n; see A143007 for further details. Similar results also hold between the constant log(2) and the crystal ball sequences of the hypercubic lattices A_1 x...x A_1 and between log(2) and the crystal ball sequences for lattices of type C_n ; see A008288 and A142992 respectively for further details.

This array is the Hilbert transform of triangle A008459 (see A145905 for the definition of the Hilbert transform). - Peter Bala, Oct 28 2008

FORMULA

T(n, k) = Sum_{i=0..k} C(n, i)^2 * C(n+k-i, k-i).
G.f. for row n: (Sum_{i=0..n} C(n, i)^2 * x^i)/(1-x)^(n+1).
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n-k, k) = A108626(n) (antidiagonal sums).
O.g.f. row n: 1/(1 - x)*Legendre_P(n,(1 + x)/(1 - x)).
G.f. for square array: 1/sqrt((1 - x)*((1 - t)^2 - x*(1 + t)^2)) = (1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + ...) + (1 + 3*x + 5*x^2 + 7*x^3 + ...)*t + (1 + 7*x + 19*x^2 + 37*x^3 + ...)*t^2 + ... . Cf. A142977.
Recurrence relations:
Row n entries: (k+1)^2*T(n,k+1) = (2*k^2+2*k+n^2+n+1)*T(n,k) - k^2*T(n,k-1), k = 1,2,3,... ;
Column k entries: (n+1)^2*T(n+1,k) = (2*k+1)*(2*n+1)*T(n,k) + n^2*T(n-1,k), n = 1,2,3,... ;
Main diagonal entries: (n+1)^2*T(n+1,n+1) = (11*n^2+11*n+3)*T(n,n) + n^2*T(n-1,n-1), n = 1,2,3,... .
Series acceleration formulas for zeta(2):
Row n: zeta(2) = 2*(1 - 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 - ... + (-1)^(n+1)/n^2) + (-1)^n*Sum_{k >= 1} 1/(k^2*T(n,k-1)*T(n,k));
Column k: zeta(2) = 1 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 + ... + 1/k^2 + 2*Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(n^2*T(n-1,k)*T(n,k));
Main diagonal: zeta(2) = 5 * Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(n^2*T(n-1,n-1)*T(n,n)).
Conjectural result for superdiagonals: zeta(2) = 1 + 1/2^2 + ... + 1/k^2 + Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1) * (5*n^2 + 6*k*n + 2*k^2)/(n^2*(n+k)^2*T(n-1,n+k-1)*T(n,n+k)), k = 0,1,2... .
Conjectural result for subdiagonals: zeta(2) = 2*(1 - 1/2^2 + ... + (-1)^(k+1)/k^2) + (-1)^k*Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)*(5*n^2 + 4*k*n + k^2)/(n^2*(n+k)^2*T(n+k-1,n-1)*T(n+k,n)), k = 0,1,2... .
Conjectural congruences: the main superdiagonal numbers S(n) := T(n,n+1) appear to satisfy the supercongruences S(m*p^r - 1) = S(m*p^(r-1) - 1) (mod p^(3*r)) for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers m and r. If p is prime of the form 4*n + 1 we can write p = a^2 + b^2 with a an odd number. Then calculation suggests the congruence S((p-1)/2) == 2*a^2 (mod p). (End)
T(n, k) = hypergeom([-n, -k, n + 1], [1, 1], 1).
T(n, k) = binomial(n, k)*hypergeom([-k, k - n, k - n], [1, -n], 1). - Peter Luschny, Feb 10 2018
T(n, k) = Sum_{i = 0..k} (-1)^i * binomial(n, i)*binomial(n+k-i, k-i)^2.
T(n, k) = binomial(n+k, k)^2 * hypergeom([-n, -k, -k], [-n - k, -n - k], 1). (End)
T(n,k) = the coefficient of (x^n)*(y^k)*(z^n) in the expansion of 1/( (1 - x - y)*(1 - z ) - x*y*z ).
T(n,k) = B(n, k, n) in the notation of Straub, equation 24.
The supercongruences T(n*p^r, k*p^r) == T(n*p^(r-1), k*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r)) hold for all primes p >= 5 and positive integers n and k.
The formula T(n,k) = hypergeom([n+1, -n, -k], [1, 1], 1) allows the table indexing to be extended to negative values of n and k; clearly, we find that T(-n,k) = T(n-1,k) for all n and k. It appears that T(n,-k) = (-1)^n*T(n,k-1) for n >= 0, while T(n,-k) = (-1)^(n+1)*T(n,k-1) for n <= -1 [added Sep 10 2023: these follow from the identities immediately below]. (End)
T(n,k) = Sum_{i = 0..n} (-1)^(n+i) * binomial(n, i)*binomial(n+i, i)*binomial(k+i, i) = (-1)^n * hypergeom([n + 1, -n, k + 1], [1, 1], 1). - Peter Bala, Sep 10 2023
Let t(n,k) = T(n-k, k) (antidiagonals).
t(n, k) = Hypergeometric3F2([k-n, -k, n-k+1], [1,1], 1).
T(n, k) = Sum_{i = 0..n} binomial(n, i)*binomial(n+i, i)*binomial(k, i). - Peter Bala, Feb 26 2024
