%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is number of Motzkin paths of length n and having k horizontal steps.

%C Row sums are the Motzkin numbers (A001006). Column 0 gives the aerated Catalan numbers (A000108).

%C Let P_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k. P_0(x) = 1, P_1(x) = x, P_n(x) = x*P_(n-1)(x) + Sum_{j=0..n-2} P_j(x)*P_(n-2-j)(x); essentially the same as A124027. - _Philippe Deléham_, Oct 03 2007

%C G. J. Chaitin's numbers of s-expressions of size n are given by the coefficients of polynomials p(k, x) satisfying: p(k, x) = Sum_{j=2..k-1} p(j, x)*p(k-j, x). The coefficients of these polynomials also give (essentially) the triangle shown here. - _Roger L. Bagula_, Oct 31 2006

%C Exponential Riordan array [Bessel_I(1,2x)/x,x]. - _Paul Barry_, Mar 24 2010

%C Diagonal sums are the aerated large Schroeder numbers. - _Paul Barry_, Apr 21 2010

%C Non-vanishing antidiagonals are rows of A060693. - _Tom Copeland_, Feb 03 2016

%C These polynomials are related to the Gegenbauer polynomials which in turn are specializations of the Jacobi polynomials. The o.g.f. of the Gegenbauer polynomials is 1 / [1-2tx+x^2]^a. For the generating function Gb(x,h1,h2,a) = [x / (1 + h1 x + h2 x^2)]^a, the compositional inverse in x is Gbinv(x,h1,h2,a) = [(1-h1*y) - sqrt[(1-h1*y)^2-4h2*y^2]]/(2*h2*y) with y = x^(1/a). The polynomials of this entry are generated by Gbinv(x,t,1,1). The Legendre polynomials are related to the o.g.f. Gb(x,-2t,1,1/2). Cf. A121448. - _Tom Copeland_, Feb 07 2016

%C The bivariate o.g.f. in Copeland's Jan 29 2016 formulas can be related to conformal mappings of the complex plane and a solution of the dKP hierarchy. Cf. p. 24 of the Takebe et al. paper. - _Tom Copeland_, May 30 2018

%F From _Tom Copeland_, Jan 23 2016: (Start)

%F E.g.f.: M(x,t) = e^(xt) AC(t) = e^(xt) I_1(2t)/t = e(xt) * e.g.f.(A126120(t)) = e^(xt) Sum_{n>=0} t^(2n)/(n!(n+1)!) = exp[t P(.,x)].

%F The e.g.f. of this Appell sequence of polynomials P(n,x) is e^(xt) times the e.g.f. AC(t) of the aerated Catalan numbers A126120. AC(t) = I_1(2t)/t, where I_n(x) = T_n(d/dx) I_0(x) are the modified Bessel functions of the first kind and T_n, the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.

%F P(n,x) has the lowering and raising operators L = d/dx = D and R = d/dD log{M(x,D)} = x + d/dD log{AC(D)} = x + Sum_{n>=0} c(n) D^(2n+1)/(2n+1)! with c(n) = (-1)^n A180874(n+1), i.e., L P(n,x) = n P(n-1,x) and R P(n,x) = P(n+1,x).

%F (P(.,x) + y)^n = P(n,x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) P(k,x) y^(n-k) = (b.+x+y)^n, where (b.)^k = b_k = A126120(k).

%F Exp(b.D) e^(xt) = exp[(x+b.)t] = exp[P(.,x)t] = e^(b.t) e^(xt) = e^(xt) AC(t).

%F See p. 12 of the Alexeev et al. link and A055151 for a refinement.

%F Shifted o.g.f: G(x,t) = [1-tx-sqrt[(1-tx)^2-4x^2]] / 2x = x + t x^2 + (1+t) x^3 + ... has the compositional inverse Ginv(x,t) = x / [1 + tx + x^2] = x - t x^2 +(-1+t^2) x^3 + (2t-t^3) x^4 + (1-3t^2+t^4) x^5 + ..., a shifted o.g.f. for the signed Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind of A049310 (cf. also the Fibonacci polynomials of A011973). Then the inversion formula of A134264, involving non-crossing partitions and free probability with their multitude of interpretations (cf. A125181 also), can be used with h_0 = 1, h_1 = t, and h_2 = 1 to interpret the coefficients of the Motzkin polynomials combinatorially.

%F From _Tom Copeland_, Jan 29 2016: (Start)

%F Provides coefficients of the inverse of f(x) = x / [1 + h1 x + h2 x^2], a bivariate generating function of A049310 (mod signs).

%F finv(x) = [(1-h1*x) - sqrt[(1-h1*x)^2-4h2*x^2]]/(2*h2*x) = x + h1 x^2 + (h2 + h1^2) x^3 + (3 h1 h2 + h1^3) x^4 + ... is a bivariate o.g.f. for this entry.

%F The infinitesimal generator for finv(x) is g(x) d/dx with g(x) = 1 /[df(x)/dx] = x^2 / [(f(x))^2 (1 - h2 x^2)] = (1 + h1 x + h2 x^2)^2 / (1 - h2 x^2) so that [g(x)d/dx]^n/n! x evaluated at x = 0 gives the row polynomials FI(n,h1,h2) of the compositional inverse of f(x), i.e., exp[x g(u)d/du] u |_(u=0) = finv(x) = 1 / [1 -x FI(.,h1,h2)]. Cf. A145271. E.g.,

%F FI(0,h1,h2) = 0

%F FI(1,h1,h2) = 1

%F FI(2,h1,h2) = 1 h1

%F FI(3,h1,h2) = 1 h2 + 1 h1^2

%F FI(4,h1,h2) = 3 h2 h1 + 1 h1^3

%F FI(5,h1,h2) = 2 h2^2 + 6 h2 h1^2 + 1 h1^4

%F FI(6,h1,h2) = 10 h2^2 h1 + 10 h2 h1^3 + 1 h1^5.

%F And with D = d/dh1, FI(n+1, h1,h2) = MT(n,h1,h2) = (b.y + h1)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) b(k) y^k h1^(n-k) = exp[(b.y D] (h1)^n = AC(y D) (h1)^n, where b(k) = A126120(k), y = sqrt(h2), and AC(t) is defined in my Jan 23 formulas above. Equivalently, AC(y D) e^(x h1) = exp[x MT(.,h1,h2)].

%F The MT polynomials comprise an Appell sequence in h1 with e.g.f. e^(h1*x) AC(xy) = exp[x MT(.,h1,h2)] with lowering operator L = d/dh1 = D, i.e., L MT(n,h1,h2) = dMT(n,h1,h2)/dh1 = n MT(n-1,h1,h2) and raising operator R = h1 + dlog{AC(y L)}/dL = h1 + Sum_{n>=0} c(n) h2^(n+1) D^(2n+1)/(2n+1)! = h1 + h2 d/dh1 - h2^2 (d/dh1)^3/3! + 5 h2^3 (d/dh1)^5/5! - ... with c(n) = (-1)^n A180874(n+1) (consistent with the raising operator in the Jan 23 formulas).

%F The compositional inverse finv(x) is also obtained from the non-crossing partitions of A134264 (or A125181) with h_0 = 1, h_1 = h1, h_2 = h2, and h_n = 0 for all other n.

%F See A238390 for the umbral compositional inverse in h1 of MT(n,h1,h2) and inverse matrix.

%F (End)

%F From _Tom Copeland_, Feb 13 2016: (Start)

%F z1(x,h1,h2) = finv(x), the bivariate o.g.f. above for this entry, is the zero that vanishes for x=0 for the quadratic polynomial Q(z;z1(x,h1,h2),z2(x,h1,h2)) = (z-z1)(z-z2) = z^2 - (z1+z2) z + (z1*z2) = z^2 - e1 z + e2 = z^2 - [(1-h1*x)/(h2*x)] z + 1/h2, where e1 and e2 are the elementary symmetric polynomials for two indeterminates.

%F The other zero is given by z2(x,h1,h2) = (1 - h1*x)/(h2*x) - z1(x,h1,h2) = [1 - h1*x + sqrt[(1-h1*x)^2 - 4 h2*x^2]] / (2h2*x).

%F The two are the nontrivial zeros of the elliptic curve in Legendre normal form y^2 = z (z-z1)(z-z2), (see Landweber et al., p. 14, Ellingsrud, and A121448), and the zeros for the Riccati equation z' = (z - z1)(z - z2), associated to soliton solutions of the KdV equation (see Copeland link).

%F (End)

%F Comparing the shifted o.g.f. S(x) = x / (1 - h_1 x + h_2 x^2) for the bivariate Chebyshev polynomials S_n(h_1,h_2) of A049310 with the shifted o.g.f. H(x) = x / ((1 - a x)(1 - b x)) for the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials H_n(a,b) = (a^(n+1)-b^(n+1)) / (a - b) shows that S_n(h_1,h_2) = H_n(a,b) for h_1 = a + b and h_2 = ab and, conversely, a = (h_1 + sqrt(h_1^2 - 4 h_2)) / 2 and b = (h_1 - sqrt(h_1^2 - 4 h_2)) / 2. The compositional inverse about the origin of S(x) gives a bivariate o.g.f. for signed Motzkin polynomials M_n(h_1,h_2) of this entry, and that of H(x) gives one for signed Narayana polynomials N_n(a,b) of A001263, thereby relating the bivariate Motzkin and Narayana polynomials by the indeterminate transformations. E.g., M_2(h_1,h_2) = h_2 + h_1^2 = ab + (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 3 ab + b^2 = N_2(a,b). - _Tom Copeland_, Jan 27 2024
