Example

Triangular array:
  {2},
  {1, -1},
  {-4, 2, 1},
  {4, -4, 2, -1},
  {-16, 24, -16, 4, 1},

Mathematica

An[d_] := Table[If[n == d, 1, If[m == n + 1, 1, 0]], {n, 1, d}, {m, 1, d}];
Join[{{2}}, Table[CoefficientList[CharacteristicPolynomial[2*IdentityMatrix[d] + MatrixPower[An[d], -1], x], x], {d, 1, 20}]]
