COMMENTS

The row polynomials R(n,x):=sum(a(n,m)*x^m),m=0..n) have been called Chebyshev C_n(x) polynomials in the Abramowitz-Stegun handbook, p. 778, 22.5.11

(see A049310 for the reference, and note that on p. 774 the S and C polynomials have been mixed up in older printings). [From W. Lang, Jun 03 2011]

This is a signed version of triangle A114525.

The unsigned column sequences (without zeros) are, for m=1..11: A005408, A000290, A000330, A002415, A005585, A040977, A050486, A053347, A054333, A054334, A057788.

The row polynomials R(n,x):= sum(a(n,m)*x*m,m=0..n), give for n=2,3,...,floor(N/2) the positive zeros of the Chebyshev S(N-1,x)-polynomial (see A049310) in terms of its largest zero rho(N):= 2*cos(Pi/N) by putting x=rho(N). The order of the positive zeros is falling: n=1 corresponds to the largest zero rho(N) and n=floor(N/2) to the smallest positive zero. Example N=5: rho(5)=phi (golden section), R(2,phi)= phi^2-2 = phi-1, the second largest (and smallest) positive zero of S(4,x). W. Lang, Dec 01 2010.

The row polynomial R(n,x), for n>=1, factorizes into minimal polynomials of 2*cos(pi/k), called C(k,x), with coefficients given in A187360, as follows.

  R(n,x) = product(C(2*n/d,x),d|oddpart(n))

         = product(C(2^{k+1}*d,x),d|oddpart(n)),

  with oddpart(n)=A000265(n), and 2^k is the largest power of 2 dividing n, where k=0,1,2,...

  (Proof: R and C are monic, the degree on both sides coincides, and the zeros of R(n,x) appear all on the r.h.s.). [From W. Lang, Jul 31 2011]

The zeros of the row polynomials R(n,x) are 2*cos(Pi*(2*k+1)/(2*n)), k=0,1, ..., n-1; n>=1 (from those of the Chebyshev T-polynomials). [From W. Lang, Sep 17 2011]

The discriminants of the row polynomials R(n,x) are found under A193678. [From W. Lang, Aug 27 2011]

FORMULA

a(n,0)=0 if n is odd, a(n,0)=2*(-1)^(n/2) if n is even, else a(n,m)=t(n,m)/2^(m-1) with t(n,m):=A053120(n,m) (coefficients of Chebyshev T-polynomials).

G.f. for m-th column (signed triangle): 2/(1+x^2) if m=0 else (x^m)*(1-x^2)/(1+x^2)^(m+1).

Riordan type matrix ((1-x^2)/(1+x^2),x/(1+x^2)) if one puts a(0,0)=1 (instead of 2).

O.g.f. for row polynomials: R(x,z):=sum(n>=0, R(n,x)*z^n )=(2-x*z)*S(x,z), with the o.g.f. S(x,z)= 1/(1-x*z+z^2) for the S-polynomials (see A049310).

  Note that R(n,x) = R(2*n,sqrt(2+x)). n>=0 (from the o.g.f.s of both sides).

  [From W. Lang Jun 03 2011]

a(n,m) := 0 if n<m or n+m odd; a(n,0)= 2*(-1)^(n/2) (n even); else a(n,m)=((-1)^((n+m)/ 2+m))*n*binomial((n+m)/2-1,m-1)/m.

Recursion for n >= 2 and m>=2: a(n,m) = a(n-1,m-1)-a(n-2,m), a(n,m)=0 if n<m, a(2*k,1)=0, a(2*k+1,1)=(2*k+1)*(-1)^k. In addition, for column m=0: a(2*k,0)= 2*(-1)^k, a(2*k+1,0)=0, k>=0.

Chebyshev T(n,x) = sum(m=0..n, a(n,m)*(2^(m-1))*x^m ). [From W. Lang, Jun 03 2011]

R(n,x) = 2*T(n,x/2) = S(n,x) - S(n-2,x), n>=0, with Chebyshev's T- and S-polynomials, showing that they are integer and monic polynomials. - From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 08 2011.

EXAMPLE

Row n=4: [2,0,-4,0,1] stands for the polynomial 2*y^0 - 4*y^2 + 1*y^4. With y^m replaced by 2^(m-1)*x^m this becomes T(4,x)= 1-8*x^2+8*x^4.

Factorization into minimal C-polynomials:

R(12,x) = R((2^2)*3,x) = C(24,x)*C(8,x) = C((2^3)*1,x)*C((2^3)*3,x). [From W. Lang, Jul 31 2011]
