Formula

T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n} C(k,k-j)*C(k,n-k-j)*(-1)^j.

T(n, k) = C(k,(n-k)/2))*(-1)^((n-k)/2)*(1 + (-1)^(n-k))/2.

Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k) = A050935(n+2).

Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} T(n-k, k) = A014021(n).

T(2*n, n) = (1 - 2*0^(n+2 mod 4))*A126869(n).

From G. C. Greubel, Aug 18 2023: (Start)

T(2*n-1, n-1) = (1 - 2*0^(n+1 mod 4))*A138364(n-1).

T(2*n-1, n+1) = (1 - 2*0^(n mod 4))*((1+(-1)^n)/2)*A002054(floor(n/2)).

Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*T(n, k) = A176971(n+3).

Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (-1)^k*T(n-k, k) = (1 - 2*0^(n+2 mod 4))*A079977(n).

G.f.: 1/(1 - x*y*(1-x^2)). (End)
