COMMENTS
Let p(n) denote the polynomial (1/n!)*(numerator of n-th derivative of (1-x)/(1-x-x^2)). It is conjectured in A326925 that if n = 2k, then p(n) = f(k)*g(k), where f(k) and g(k) are polynomials of degree k. Row k of the present array shows the coefficients of f(k).
It appears that, after the first term, column 1 consists of the Fibonacci numbers, F(k), for k >= 1; see A000045. It appears that after the first row, the row sums are F(2k+1), and the alternating row sums are (-1)^k F(k).
