Row n has the unsigned coefficients of a polynomial whose roots are 2*tan(Pi*k/(2n+1)) [for k = 1 to 2n].
Polynomial of row n = Sum_{m=0..n} (-1)^m T(n,m) x^(2n-2m).
FORMULA
From Peter Bala, Apr 10 2017: (Start)
O.g.f.: (1 - (1 - 4*x)*t)/(1 - 2*(1 + 4*x)*t + (1 - 4*x)^2*t^2) = 1 + (1 + 12*x)*t + (1 + 40*x + 80*x^2)*t^2 + ....
n_th row polynomial R(n,x) = 1/2*( (1 + 2*sqrt(x))^(2*n+1) + (1 - 2*sqrt(x))^(2*n+1) ). These polynomials occur in the expansion cosh((2*n + 1)*arctanh(2*x)) = R(n,x^2)/(1 - 4*x^2)^(n+1/2). See A285043 - A285046.
For n >= 1, R(n,x) = (1 - 4*x)^n( U(n,(1 + 4*x)/(1 - 4*x)) - U(n-1,(1 + 4*x)/(1 - 4*x)) ), where U(n,x) is the n-th Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind. (End)
