A124031 Alternating sign center tridiagonal matrices as triangular sequences: m(n,m,d)=If[ n == m, (-1)^n, If[n == m - 1 || n == m + 1, -1, 0]]. 0

%N Alternating sign center tridiagonal matrices as triangular sequences: m(n,m,d)=If[ n == m, (-1)^n, If[n == m - 1 || n == m + 1, -1, 0]].

%C The scalar change effect between first elements of the matrix tridiagonals and their recursive polynomial counter parts reminded me of pseudoscalar results in tensors ( sign changes of scalars). Determinant sequence is Fibonacci: Table[Det[M[d]], {d, 1, 10}] {-1, -2, 3, 5, -8, -13, 21, 34, -55, -89} Matrices: 1 X 1 {{-1}}, 2 X 2 {{-1, -1}, {-1, 1}}, 3 X 3 {{-1, -1,0}, {-1, 1, -1}, {0, -1, -1}}, 4 X 4 {{-1, -1, 0, 0}, {-1, 1, -1, 0}, {0, -1, -1, -1}, {0, 0, -1, 1}}, 5 X 5 {{-1, -1, 0, 0, 0}. {-1, 1, -1, 0, 0}, {0, -1, -1, -1, 0}, {0, 0, -1, 1, -1}, {0, 0, 0, -1, -1}}, 6 X 6 {{-1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {-1, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0}, {0, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, -1, 1, -1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1}, {0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 1}}
