%N Triangle with trigonometric properties,

%C This triangle is #3 in an infinite set, where Pascal's triangle = #2. Generally, the infinite set is constrained by two properties: For triangle N, row sums are powers of N and upward sloping diagonals have roots equal to N + 2*cos(2*Pi/Q).

%C The triangle may be constructed by considering the rows of A152063 as upward sloping diagonals. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 26 2008

%F Upward sloping diagonals are alternating (unsigned) characteristic polynomial coefficients of two forms of matrices: all 1's in the super and subdiagonals and (2,3,3,3,...) in the main diagonal and the other form all 1's in the super and subdiagonals and (3,3,3,...) in the main diagonal.

%e First few rows of the triangle are:

%e 1;

%e 1, 2;

%e 1, 3, 5;

%e 1, 5, 8, 13;

%e 1, 6, 19, 21, 34;

%e 1, 8, 25, 65, 55, 89;

%e 1, 9, 42, 90, 210, 144, 233;

%e ...

%e For example, the upward-sloping diagonal (1, 8, 19, 13) is derived from x^3 - 8x^2 + 19x - 13, characteristic polynomial of the 3 X 3 matrix [2, 1, 0; 1, 3, 1;, 0, 1, 3], having an eigenvalue of 3 + 2*cos(2*Pi/7). The next upward-sloping diagonal is (1, 9, 25, 21), derived from the characteristic polynomial x^3 - 9x^2 + 25x - 21 and the matrix [3, 1, 0; 1, 3, 1; 0, 1, 3]. An eigenvalue of this matrix and a root of the corresponding characteristic polynomial is 4.414213562... = 3 + 2*cos(2*Pi/8).
