COMMENT

Row sums are: ( different from the cyclotomics)

{1, -1, 1, -5, 1, -21, 1, -85, 1, -341}:

Plotting the roots shows that they are all cyclotomic like of complex radius one:

w = Flatten[Table[Table[{Re[x], Im[x]} /. NSolve[p[x, n] == 0, x][[m]], {m, 1, n}], {n, 1, 10}], 1];

FORMULA

p(x,n)=Sum((-1)^i*x^i,{i,0,n)); M(n)=SylvesterMatrix(p(x,n),p(x,n-1)); out_n,m=Coefficients(CharacteristicPolynomial(M(n))).
