Formula

T(n, k) = ((-1)^((n-k)/2))*(2^k)*n!/(k!*((n-k)/2)!) if n-k is even and >= 0, else 0.

E.g.f.: exp(-y^2 + 2*y*x).

From Paul Barry, Aug 28 2005: (Start)

T(n, k) = n!/(k!*2^((n-k)/2)((n-k)/2)!)2^((n+k)/2)cos(Pi*(n-k)/2)(1 + (-1)^(n+k))/2;

T(n, k) = A001498((n+k)/2, (n-k)/2)*cos(Pi*(n-k)/2)2^((n+k)/2)(1 + (-1)^(n+k))/2.

a(n*(n+3)/2) = a(A000096(n)) = 2^n. - Derek Orr, Mar 12 2015

Recurrence for fixed n: T(n, k) = -(k+2)*(k+1)/(2*(n-k)) * T(n, k+2), starting with T(n, n) = 2^n. - Ralf Stephan, Mar 26 2016

The m-th row consecutive nonzero entries in increasing order are (-1)^(c/2)*(c+b)!/(c/2)!b!*2^b with c = m, m-2, ..., 0 and b = m-c if m is even and with c = m-1, m-3, ..., 0 with b = m-c if m is odd. For the 10th row starting at a(55) the 6 consecutive nonzero entries in order are -30240,302400,-403200,161280,-23040,1024 given by c = 10,8,6,4,2,0 and b = 0,2,4,6,8,10. - Richard Turk, Aug 20 2017

Thus H_0(x) = 1, H_1(x) = 2*x, H_2(x) = -2 + 4*x^2, H_3(x) = -12*x + 8*x^3, H_4(x) = 12 - 48*x^2 + 16*x^4, ...
