Let s=(1,3,4,6,8,...)=A000201 and let T be the infinite square matrix whose n-th row is formed by putting n-1 zeros before the terms of s. Let T' be the transpose of T. Then A202869 represents the matrix product M=T'*T. M is the self-fusion matrix of s, as defined at A193722. See A202870 for characteristic polynomials of principal submatrices of M, with interlacing zeros.
