COMMENTS

Apart from signs, identical to A078812.

G.f. for row polynomials S(n,x-2) (signed triangle): 1/(1+(2-x)*z+z^2). Unsigned triangle |a(n,m)| has g.f. 1/(1-(2+x)*z+z^2) for row polynomials.

Row sums (signed triangle) A049347(n) (periodic(1,-1,0)). Row sums (unsigned triangle) A001906(n+1)=F(2*(n+1)) (even indexed Fibonacci).

In the language of Shapiro et al. (see A053121 for the reference) such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as a matrix, belongs to the Bell-subgroup of the Riordan-group.

The (unsigned) column sequences are A000027, A000292, A000389, A000580, A000582, A001288 for m=0..5, resp. For m=6..23 they are A010966..(+2)..A011000 and for m=24..49 they are A017713..(+2)..A017763.

Riordan array (1/(1+x)^2,x/(1+x^2)). Inverse array is A039598. Diagonal sums have g.f. 1/(1+x^2). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 17 2005

Unsigned version is in A078812 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 05 2006

Also row n gives (except for an overall sign) coefficients of characteristic polynomial of the Cartan matrix for the root system A_n. - Roger L. Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), May 23 2007

FORMULA

a(n, m) := 0 if n<m else ((-1)^(n-m))*binomial(n+m+1, 2*m+1);

a(n, m) = -2*a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1) - a(n-2, m), a(n, -1) := 0 =: a(-1, m), a(0, 0)=1, a(n, m) := 0 if n<m; G.f. for m-th column (signed triangle):((x/(1+x)^2)^m)/(1+x)^2.

EXAMPLE

{1}; {-2,1}; {3,-4,1}; {-4,10,-6,1}; {5,-20,21,-8};... E.g. fourth row (n=3) {-4,10,-6,1} corresponds to polynomial S(3,x-2)= -4+10*x-6*x^2+x^3.

MATHEMATICA

T[n_, m_, d_] := If[ n == m, 2, If[n == m - 1 || n == m + 1, -1, 0]]; M[d_] := Table[T[n, m, d], {n, 1, d}, {m, 1, d}]; a = Join[M[1], Table[CoefficientList[Det[M[d] - x*IdentityMatrix[d]], x], {d, 1, 10}]]; Flatten[a] - Roger L. Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), May 23 2007
