%N The Eta triangle.

%C The ES1 matrix coefficients are defined by ES1[2*m-1,n] = 2^(2*m-1) * int(y^(2*m-1)/(cosh(y))^(2*n),y=0..infinity)/(2*m-1)! for m = 1, 2, 3, .. and n = 1, 2, 3 .. .

%C This definition leads to ES1[2*m-1,n=1] = 2*eta(2*m-1) and the recurrence relation ES1[2*m-1,n] = ((2*n-2)/(2*n-1))*(ES1[2*m-1,n-1] - ES1[2*m-3,n-1]/(n-1)^2) which we used to extend our definition of the ES1 matrix coefficients to m = 0, -1, -2, .. . We discovered that ES1[ -1,n] = 0.5 for n = 1, 2, .. . As usual eta(m) = (1-2^(1-m))*zeta(m) with eta(m) the Dirichlet eta function and zeta(m) the Riemann zeta function.

%C The coefficients in the columns of the ES1 matrix, for m = 1, 2, 3, .. , and n = 2, 3, 4 .. , can be generated with the polynomials GF(z,n) for which we found the following general expression GF(z;n) = ((-1)^(n-1)*r(n)*CFN1(z,n)*GF(z;n=1) + ETA(z,n))/p(n).

%C The CFN1(z,n) polynomials depend on the central factorial numbers A008955.

%C The ETA(z,n) are the Eta polynomials which lead to the Eta triangle.

%C The zero patterns of the Eta polynomials resemble a UFO. These patterns resemble those of the Zeta, Beta and Lambda polynomials, see A160474, A160480 and A160487.

%C The first Maple algorithm generates the coefficients of the Eta triangle. The second Maple algorithm generates the ES1[2*m-1,n] coefficients for m= 0, -1, -2, -3, .. .

%C The M(n) sequence, see the second Maple algorithm, leads to Gould's sequence A001316 and a sequence that resembles the denominators of the Taylor series for tan(x), A156769(n).

%C Some of our results are conjectures based on numerical evidence, see especially A160466.

%F We discovered an interesting relation between the Eta triangle coefficients ETA(n,m) = q(n)*((-1)*ETA(n-1,m-1)+(n-1)^2*ETA(n-1,m)), for n = 3, 4, ... and m = 2, 3, ... , with

%F q(n) = 1 + (-1)^(n-3)*(floor(log(n-1)/log(2)) - floor(log(n-2)/log(2))) for n = 3, 4, ....

%F See A160465 for ETA(n,m=1) and furthermore ETA(n,n) = 0 for n = 2, 3, ....

%F The generating functions GF(z;n) of the coefficients in the matrix columns are defined by

%F GF(z;n) = sum_{m>=1} ES1[2*m-1,n] * z^(2*m-2), with n = 1, 2, 3, .... This leads to

%F GF(z;n=1) = (2*log(2) - Psi(z) - Psi(-z) + Psi(1/2*z) + Psi(-1/2*z)); Psi(z) is the digamma-function.

%F GF(z;n) = ((2*n-2)/(2*n-1)-2*z^2/((n-1)*(2*n-1)))*GF(z;n-1)-1/((n-1)*(2*n-1)).

%F We found for GF(z;n), for n = 2, 3, ..., the following general expression:

%F GF(z;n) = ((-1)^(n-1)*r(n)*CFN1(z,n)*GF(z;n=1) + ETA(z,n) )/p(n) with

%F r(n) = 2^floor(log(n-1)/log(2)+1) and

%F p(n) = 2^(-GCS(n))*(2*n-1)! with

%F GCS(n) = log(1/(2^(-(2*(n-1)-1-floor(log(n-1)/ log(2))))))/log(2).
