COMMENTS

The first element has been changed to 1 to produce an invertible matrix. Alternatively, this is the coefficient array for the polynomials P(z,n)= product{j=0..n-1, z-(1+w(n)^j)} where w(n)=e^(2pi*i/n), i=sqrt(-1).

The row entries determine interesting recurrences. For instance, a(n)=4a(n-1)+6a(n-2)+4a(n-3), a(0)=a(1)=a(2)=1, gives A038503. Sequences of the form a(n)=sum{k=0..n, if (mod(k,m)=r, binomial(n,k), 0)}, for r=0..m-1, result. Equivalently, a(n)=sum{j=0..n-1, 2^n(cos(pi*j/m))^n*cos((n-2r)pi*j/m)}/m, r=0..m-1. These include A024493, A024494, A024495, A038503, A038504, A038505. The inverse matrix is A091918.

Triangle T(n,k), 0<=k<=n, read by rows given by [ -2, 2, 1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...] DELTA [1, 0, -1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 11 2007
