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^(2*Pi*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} (binomial(n,k) if k mod m = r, otherwise 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 Deléham, Oct 11 2007
