Comments

The matrices (A345197) count the integer compositions of n of length k with alternating sum i, where 1 <= k <= n, and i ranges from -n + 2 to n in steps of 2. Here, the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.

Problem: What are the column sums? They appear to match A239201, but it is not clear why.
