COMMENTS
The row length sequence of this irregular array is A008619(n), n >= 0. Even or odd powers appear in increasing order starting with 1 or x for even or odd row numbers n, respectively. This is the standard triangle A053120 with 0 deleted. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 02 2014
Let T* denote the triangle obtained by replacing each number in this triangle by its absolute value. Then T* gives the coefficients for cos(nx) as a polynomial in cos x. - Clark Kimberling, Aug 04 2024

The authors write, "Since the algebra of these is 'hyperbolic', contrary to the usual Chebyshev polynomials defined on the interval 0 <= x <= 1, we call the set of functions (21) the hyperbolic Chebyshev polynomials."

FORMULA
a(n,m) = 2^(m-1) * n * (-1)^((n-m)/2) * ((n+m)/2-1)! / (((n-m)/2)! * m!) if n>0. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 20 2007
From Paul Weisenhorn, Oct 02 2019: (Start)
T_n(x) = 2*x*T_(n-1)(x) - T_(n-2)(x), T_0(x) = 1, T_1(x) = x.
T_n(x) = ((x+sqrt(x^2-1))^n + (x-sqrt(x^2-1))^n)/2. (End)
From Peter Bala, Aug 15 2022: (Start)
T(n,x) = [z^n] ( z*x + sqrt(1 + z^2*(x^2 - 1)) )^n.
Sum_{k = 0..2*n} binomial(2*n,k)*T(k,x) = (2^n)*(1 + x)^n*T(n,x).
exp( Sum_{n >= 1} T(n,x)*t^n/n ) = Sum_{n >= 0} P(n,x)*t^n, where P(n,x) denotes the n-th Legendre polynomial. (End)
EXAMPLE
Rows are: (1), (1), (-1,2), (-3,4), (1,-8,8), (5,-20,16) etc., since if c = cos(x): cos(0x) = 1, cos(1x) = 1c; cos(2x) = -1+2c^2; cos(3x) = -3c+4c^3, cos(4x) = 1-8c^2+8c^4, cos(5x) = 5c-20c^3+16c^5, etc.
