A138773 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the coefficient of x^k in the polynomial P[n](x) = b(n)Q[n](x), where b(n) = numerator of binomial(2n,n)/2^n = A001790(n) and Q[n](x) = F(-n,1; 1/2-n; x) (hypergeometric function); 0 <= k <= n.

Comments

The polynomials Q[n](x) arise in a contact problem in elasticity theory.

Row sums yield A001803.

T(n,0) = A001790(n).

T(n,n) = A046161(n).

Formula

Q[n](x) = (2n+1)*(Integral_{t=0..sqrt(1-x)} (x+t^2)^n dt)/sqrt(1-x).

Q[n](x) = 1 + 2*n*x*Q[n-1](x)/(2n-1).
