%N A204154 Symmetric matrix based on f(i,j) = max(2i-j, 2j-i), by antidiagonals.
%C A204154 A204154 represents the matrix M given by f(i,j) = max(2i-j, 2j-i) for i >= 1 and j >= 1.  See A204155 for characteristic polynomials of principal submatrices of M, with interlacing zeros. See A204016 for a guide to other choices of M.
%C A204154 From _Nathaniel J. Strout_, Nov 14 2019: (Start)
%C A204154 The sum of the terms in the n-th "_|" shape is given by the octagonal numbers, A000567. For example,
%C A204154       5,
%C A204154       4,
%C A204154   5,4,3,
%C A204154   is considered the 3rd such shape.
%C A204154 The sum of the terms in the n-th antidiagonal is the absolute value of the (n+1)-th term of A266085. (End)
