COMMENT

The matrices M_n for n=1, 2, 3, ... are: 1 X 1 {{1}}, 2 X 2 {{1, -1}, {-1, 3}}, 3 X 3 {{1, -1, 0}, {-1, 3, -1}, {0, -1, 3}}, 4 X 4 {{1, -1, 0, 0}, {-1, 3, -1, 0}, {0, -1, 3, -1}, {0, 0, -1, 3}},

5 X 5 {{1, -1, 0, 0, 0}, {-1, 3, -1, 0, 0}, {0, -1, 3, -1, 0}, {0, 0, -1, 3, -1}, {0, 0, 0, -1, 3}}, 6 X 6 {{1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {-1, 3, -1, 0, 0, 0}, {0, -1, 3, -1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, -1, 3, -1, 0}, { 0, 0, 0, -1, 3, -1}, {0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 3}}, ...

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

{1},

{1, -1},

{2, -4, 1},

{5, -13, 7, -1},

{13, -40, 33, -10, 1},

{34, -120,132, -62, 13, -1},

{89, -354, 483, -308, 100, -16, 1},

For example, the characteristic polynomial of M_3 is x^3-7*x^2+13*x-5, so row 3 is 5, -13, 7, -1.
