Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (-1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 26 2011

Aside from signs and index shift, the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the Coxeter adjacency matrix for the Coxeter group A_n related to the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind (cf. Damianou link p. 19). - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2014
