COMMENTS

The SF(z; n) formulae, see below, were discovered while studying certain properties of the Dirichlet eta function.

From Peter Bala, Apr 3 2011 (Start)

Let D be the differential operator 2*x*d/dx. The row polynomials of this table come from repeated application of the operator D to the function g(x) = 1/sqrt(1-x). For example,

D(g) = x*g^3

  D^2(g) = x*(2+x)*g^5

  D^3(g) = x*(4+10*x+x^2)*g^7

  D^4(g) = x*(8+60*x+36*x^2+x^3)*g^9.

Thus this triangle is analogous to the triangle of Eulerian numbers A008292, whose row polynomials come from the  repeated application of the operator x*d/dx to the function 1/(1-x). (End)

FORMULA

SF(z; n) = sum(m^(n-1)*4^(-m)*z^(m-1)*GAMMA(2*m+1)/(GAMMA(m)^2), m=1..infinity) = P(z;n) / (2^(n+1)*(1-z)^((2*n+3)/2)) for n >= 0. The polynomials P(z;n) = sum( a(k)*z^k, k=0..n) generate the a(n) sequence.

If we write the sequence as a triangle the following relation holds: T(n,m) = (2*m+2)*T(n-1,m) + (2*n-2*m+1)*T(n-1,m-1) with T(n,m=0) = 2^n and T(n,n) = 1. n >= 0 and 0 <= m <= n.

G.f.: 1/(1-xy-2x/(1-3xy/(1-4x/(1-5xy/(1-6x/(1-7xy/(1-8x/(1-... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry, Jan 26 2011]

From Peter Bala , Apr 3 2011 (Start)

E.g.f.: exp(z*(x+2)){(1-x)/(exp(2*x*z)-x*exp(2*z))}^(3/2) = sum {n = 0..inf} P(x,n)*z^n/n! = 1 + (2+x)*z + (4+10*x+x^2)*z^2/2! + (8+60*x+36*x^2+x^3)*z^3/3! +...

Explicit formula for the row polynomials:

P(x,n-1) = sum {k = 1..n} 2^(n-2*k)*binomial(2k,k)*k!*Stirling2(n,k)*x^(k-1)*(1-x)^(n-k).

The polynomials x*(1+x)^n*P(x/(x+1),n) are the row polynomials of A187075.

The polynomials x^(n+1)*P((x+1)/x,n) are the row polynomials of A186695.

Row sums are A001147(n+1). (End)

sum((-1)^k*T(n,k), k=0..n) = (-1)^binomial(n,2)*A012259(n+1) [Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 27, 2011]

EXAMPLE

The first few rows of the triangle are:

[1]

[2, 1]

[4, 10, 1]

[8, 60, 36, 1]

[16, 296, 516, 116, 1]

The first few P(z;n) are:

P(z; n=0) = 1

P(z; n=1) = 2 + z

P(z; n=2) = 4 + 10*z + z^2

P(z; n=3) = 8 + 60*z + 36*z^2 + z^3

The first few SF(z;n) are:

SF(z; n=0) = (1/2)*(1)/(1-z)^(3/2);

SF(z; n=1) = (1/4)*(2+z)/(1-z)^(5/2);

SF(z; n=2) = (1/8)*(4+10*z+z^2)/(1-z)^(7/2);

SF(z; n=3) = (1/16)*(8+60*z+36*z^2+z^3)/(1-z)^(9/2);
