%N Array read by antidiagonals upwards: a(i,0) = 2, i >= 0; a(i,1) = i+2, i >= 0; a(i,j) = (i+2) * a(i,j-1) - a(i,j-2), for i >= 0, j > 1.

%C Note the similarity in form of the recursive steps in the array definition above and the polynomial definition under FORMULA.

%F Let k be an integer, and let r1 and r2 be the roots of x + 1/x = k. Then f(k,n) = r1^n + r2^n is an integer, for integer n >= 0. Theorem: a(i,j) = f(i+2,j), for i,j >= 0. Proof: See the Collier link.

%F Define polynomials recursively by:

%F p[0](n) = 2, for n >= 0 ( [ and ] demark subscripts).

%F p[1](n) = n + 2, for n >= 0.

%F p[j](n) = p[j-1](n) * p[1](n) - p[j-2](n), for j > 1, n >= 0. The coefficients of these polynomials occur as the even numbered, upward diagonals in the OEIS Wiki link. Conjecture: a(i,j) = p[j](i), i,j >= 0.

%Y The array first appeared in A298675.

%Y Rows 1 through 29 of the array appear in these OEIS entries: A005248, A003500, A003501, A003499, A056854, A086903, A056918, A087799, A057076, A087800, A078363, A067902, A078365, A090727, A078367, A087215, A078369, A090728, A090729, A090730, A090731, A090732, A090733, A090247, A090248, A090249, A090251. Also entries occur for rows 45, 121, and 320: A087265, A065705, A089775. Each of these entries asserts that a(i,j)=f(i+2,j) is true for that row.

%Y A few of the columns appear in the OEIS: A008865 (for column 2), A058794 and A007754 (for column 3), and A230586 (for column 5).

%Y Main diagonal gives A343261.
