COMMENTS

Inverse of triangle in A061554.

Signed version of A046854.

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 21 2009: (Start)

Riordan array ((1-x)/(1+x^2),x/(1+x^2)).

This triangle is the coefficient triangle for the Hankel transforms of the family of generalized Catalan numbers that satisfy a(n;r)=r*a(n-1;r)+sum{k=1..n-2, a(k)*a(n-1-k;r)}, a(0;r)=a(1;r)=1. The Hankel transform of a(n;r) is h(n)=sum{k=0..n, T(n,k)*r^k} with g.f. (1-x)/(1-r*x+x^2). These sequences include A086246, A000108, A002212. (End)

From W. Lang, Jun 11 2011: (Start)

The Riordan array ((1+x)/(1+x^2),x/(1+x^2)) with entries Phat(n,k)= ((-1)^(n-k))*T(n,k) and o.g.f. Phat(x,z)=(1+z)/(1-x*z+z^2) for the row polynomials Phat(n,x) is related to Chebyshev C and S polynomials as follows.

Phat(n,x) = (R(n+1,x)-R(n,x))/(x+2) = S(2*n,sqrt(2+x))

  with R(n,x)=C_n(x) in the Abramowitz and Stegun notation, p. 778, 22.5.11. See A049310 for the S polynomials. Proof from the o.g.f.s.

Recurrence for the row polynomials Phat(n,x):

  Phat(n,x) = x*Phat(n-1,x) - Phat(n-2,x) for n>=1; Phat(-1,x)=-1, Phat(0,x)=1.

The A-sequence for this Riordan array Phat (see the W. Lang link under A006232 for A-  and Z-sequences for Riordan matrices) is given by 1, 0, -1, 0, -1, 0, -2, 0, -5,.., starting with 1 and interlacing the negated A000108 with zeros (o.g.f. 1/c(x^2) = 1-c(x^2)*x^2, with the o.g.f. c(x) of A000108).

The Z-sequence has o.g.f. sqrt((1-2*x)/(1+2*x)), and it is given by A063886(n)*(-1)^n.

  The A-sequence of the Riordan array T(n,k) is identical with the one for the Riordan array Phat, and the Z-sequence is -A063886(n).

(End)

The row polynomials P(n,x) are the characteristic polynomials of the adjacency matrices of the graphs which look like P_n (n vertices (nodes), n-1 lines (edges)), but vertex no. 1 has a loop. - From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 17 2011.

FORMULA

Number triangle T(n,k)=(-1)^C(n-k+1,2)*C(floor((n+k)/2),k). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 21 2009]

From W. Lang, Jun 11 2011: (Start)

Row polynomials: P(n,x):= sum(k=0..n, T(n,k)*x^k ) = R(2*n+1,sqrt(2+x)) / sqrt(2+x), with Chebyshev polynomials R with coefficients given in A127672 (scaled T-polynomials).

R(n,x) is called C_n(x) in Abramowitz and Stegun's handbook, p. 778, 22.5.11.

P(n,x) = S(n,x)-S(n-1,x), n>=0, S(-1,x)=0, with the Chebyshev S-polynomials (see the coefficient triangle A049310).

O.g.f. for row polynomials: P(x,z):= sum(n>=0, P(n,x)*z^n ) = (1-z)/(1-x*z+z^2).

  (from the o.g.f. for R(2*n+1,x), n>=0, computed from the o.g.f. for the R-polynomials (2-x*z)/(1-x*z+z^2) (see A127672).)

Proof of the Chebyshev connection from the o.g.f. for Riordan array property of this triangle (see the P. Barry comment above).

For the A- and Z-sequences of this Riordan array see a comment above. (End)

From Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 08 2011: (Start)

  abs(T(n,k)) = A046854(n,k) = abs(A066170(n,k))

  T(n,n-k) = A108299(n,k); abs(T(n,n-k) ) = A065941(n,k) (End)
