A122945 Recursive polynomials (p(k, x) = p(k - 1, x) - x^2*p(k - 2, x) ) used to produce a set of matrices a(i,j) at level n that then produce the characteristic polynomials which provide the triangular sequence t(n,m).

Comments

It was a real problem getting the matrices to agree with the polynomials: I was getting shift function polynomials!)

1 X 1 {{1}}

2 X 2 {{0, 1}, {1, -1}}

3 X 3 {{0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {1, -1, 0}}

4 X 4 {{0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1}, {1, -1, -1, 2}}

5 X 5 {{0, 1, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {1, -1, -2, 3, -1}}

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..95.

Formula

p(k, x) = p(k - 1, x) - x^2*p(k - 2, x) p(k,n)->t0(i,j) t0(i,j)->a[i,j) a(i,j)->p'(n,x) p'(n,k)->t(n,m)

Example

Input triangular sequence from the recurvise polynomials:
{{1},
{-1,1},
{-1, 1, -1},
{-1, 1, 0, -1},
{-1, 1, 1, -2, 1},
{-1, 1, 2, -3, 1, 1}
Output triangular sequence from characteristic polynomials of matrices:
{1},
{1, -1},
{-1, 1, 1},
{1, -1, 0, -1},
{-1, 1, 1, -2, 1},
{1, -1, -2, 3, -1, -1}

Mathematica

p[0, x] = 1; p[1, x] = x - 1; p[k_, x_] := p[k, x] = p[k - 1, x] - x^2*p[k - 2, x]; w = Table[CoefficientList[p[n, x], x], {n, 0, 20}] ; An[d_] := Table[If[n == d, -w[[n]][[m]], If[m == n, 1, 0]], {n, 2, d}, {m, 1, d - 1}]; Table[An[d], {d, 2, 19}] b = Join[{{1}}, Table[CoefficientList[CharacteristicPolynomial[An[d], x], x], \ {d, 2, 19}]]; Flatten[%]
