As triangle T(n,k) with 0<=k<=n, it is (0, 1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (2, 1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 28 2012
FORMULA
u(n,x)=x*u(n-1,x)+x*v(n-1,x),
v(n,x)=2x*u(n-1,x)+(x+1)*v(n-1,x),
where u(1,x)=1, v(1,x)=1.
T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + 2*T(n-1,k-1) - T(n-2,k-1) + T(n-2,k-2), T(1,0) = 1, T(2,0) = 0, T(2,1) = 2 and T(n,k) = 0 if k<0 or if k>=n. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 28 2012
G.f.: (-1+x)/(-1+x+2*x*y-x^2*y+x^2*y^2). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 12 2015
EXAMPLE
First five rows:
1
0...2
0...1...5
0...1...5...12
0...1...6...18...29
First three polynomials v(n,x): 1, 2x, x + 5x^2.
