A140882 A set of Cartan like Martices with the properties that either the rows or columns as sums are zero that give a triangle of coefficients of characteristic polynomials: Example matrix 3x3(row sums zero): {{2, -2, 0}, {-1, 2, -1}, {0, -2, 2}}. +0

COMMENT

Row sums are:

{1, 1, -3, -3, 0, 3, 3, 0, -3, -3, 0}.

This sequence of matrices was inspired by the Kemeny "dominant","hybrid"

and "recessive" matrix of genetic characteristics:

{{2, 2, 0},

{1, 2, 1},

{0, 2, 2}}/2^2

That type matrix has row sums equal one.

I noticed that it resembled an unsigned Cartan matrix of a D_n or B_n type

with rows sums zero.
