COMMENTS
The sequence for column m (m >= 1) (without leading zeros and the first 1) appears in the Derrida et al. 1992 reference as Z_{N}=:Y_{N}(N+1), N >=0, for (unphysical) alpha = -m, beta = 1 (or alpha = 1, beta = -m). In the Derrida et al. 1993 reference the formula in eq. (39) gives Z_{N}(alpha,beta)/(alpha*beta)^N for N>=1. See also Liggett reference, proposition 3.19, p. 269, with lambda for alpha and rho for 1-beta.

FORMULA
G.f. for column m: (x^m)/(1-x*c(-m*x))= (x^m)*((m+1)+m*x*c(-m*x))/((m+1)-x), m>0, with the g.f. c(x) of Catalan numbers A000108.
T(n, m) = Sum_{k=0..n-m-1} (n-m-k)*binomial(n-m-1+k, k)*(-m)^k/(n-m), with T(n,0) = T(n,n)=1.
T(n,m) = (1/(1+m))^(n-m)*(1 + m*Sum_{k=0..n-m-1} C(k)*(-m*(m+1))^k ), n-m >= 1, T(n, n) = T(n,0) =1, T(n, m)=0 if n<m, with C(k)=A000108(k) (Catalan).
T(n, k) = hypergeometric([1-n+k, n-k], [-n+k], -k) if k<n else 1. - Peter Luschny, Nov 30 2014

CROSSREFS
The unsigned column sequences (without leading zeros) are A000012, A064310-11, A064325-33 for m=0..11, respectively. Row sums (signed) give A064338. Row sums (unsigned) give A064339.
