Comments

Row sums are n^2 = A000290(n).

The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link this triangle of odd numbers with seventeen different sequences, see the crossrefs. The knight sums Kn14 - Kn110 have been added. - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010

A208057 is the eigentriangle of A158405 such that as infinite lower triangular matrices, A158405 * A208057 shifts the latter, deleting the right border of 1's. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 22 2012

T(n,k) = A099375(n-1,n-k), 1<=k<=n. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 31 2012]
