Row n of the matrix inverse (A124645) has g.f.: x^[n/2]*(1-x)^(n-[n/2]). - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Jun 12 2005

For odd N=2*n+1, with n>2, T(n,k) (0<=k<=n) gives the k-th coefficient in the characteristic function p_N(x)=0, of degree n in x, for the n X n tridiagonal unit-primitive "generating" matrix G_N (see [Jeffery]) of the form

G_N=A_{N,1}=

(0 1 0 ... 0)

(1 0 1 0 ... 0)

(0 1 0 1 0 ... 0)

...

(0 ... 0 1 0 1)

(0 ... 0 1 1),

with solutions phi_j=2*cos((2*j-1)*Pi/N), j=1,2,...,n. For example, for n=3,

G_7=A_{7,1}=

(0 1 0)

(1 0 1)

(0 1 1).

We have {T(3,k)}=(1,-1,-2,1), so the characteristic function of G_7 is p(x)=x^3-x^2-2*x+1=0, with solutions phi_j=2*cos((2*j-1)*Pi/7), j=1,2,3. (End)

The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link A108299 with several sequences, see the crossrefs. [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 08 2011]

The roots to the polynomials are chaotic using iterates of the operation (x^2 - 2), with cycle lengths L and initial seeds returning to the same term or (-1)* the seed. Periodic cycle lengths L are shown in A003558 such that for the polynomial represented by row r, the cycle length L is A003558(r-1). The matrices corresponding to the rows as characteristic polynomials are likewise chaotic [Cf. Kappraff, et al, 2005] with the same cycle lengths but substituting 2*I for the "2" in (x^2 - 2), where I = the Identity matrix.  For example, the roots to x^3 - x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0 are 1.801937..., -1.246979..., and .445041...With 1.801937...as the initial seed and using (x^2 - 2), we obtain the 3-period trajectory of 8.801937...-> 1.246979...-> -.445041...(returning to -1.801937...). We note that A003558(2) = 3.  The corresponding matrix M is: [0,1,0; 1,0,1; 0,1,1,]. Using seed M with (x^2 - 2*I), we obtain the 3-period with the cycle completed at (-1)*M. - Gary W.

FORMULA

T(n,k) = binomial(n-[(k+1)/2],[k/2])*(-1)^[(k+1)/2]

T(n+1, k) = if sign(T(n, k-1))=sign(T(n, k)) then T(n, k-1)+T(n, k) else -T(n, k-1) for 0<k<n, T(n, 0) = 1, T(n, n) = (-1)^[(n+1)/2].

G.f.: A(x, y) = (1 - x*y)/(1 - x + x^2*y^2). - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Jun 12 2005

The generating polynomial (in z) of row n>=0 is (u^(2*n+1) + v^(2*n+1))/(u + v), where u and v are defined by u^2 + v^2 = 1 and u*v = z. [Emeric Deutsch, Jun 16 2011]

abs(T(n,k)) = A065941(n,k) = abs(A187660(n,n-k))

T(n,n-k) = A130777(n,k);  abs(T(n,n-k)) = A046854(n,k) = abs(A066170(n,k)) (End)
