If U_n(x), T_n(x) are Chebyshev's polynomials then U_n(x)=P_{n,0}(x), T_n(x)=P_{n,1}(x).
Let n>=4 and k be of the same parity. Consider a set X consisting of (n+k)/2-4 blocks of the size 2 and an additional block of the size 4, then (-1)^((n-k)/2)a(n,k) is the number of n-4-subsets of X intersecting each block of the size 2.

FORMULA
|
If n>=4 and k are of the same parity then a(n,k)= (-1)^((n-k)/2)*sum((-1)^i*binomial((n+k)/2-4, i)*binomial(n+k-4-2*i, n-4), i=0..(n+k)/2-4) and a(n,k)=0 if n and k are of different parity.

EXAMPLE
|
Rows are (1),(-4,2),(6,-9,4),(-4,16,-20,8),... since P_{4,4}=x^4, P_{5,4}=-4x^3+2x^5, P_{6,4}=6x^2-9x^4+4x^6,...

MAPLE
|
if modp(n-k, 2)=0 then a[n, k]:=(-1)^((n-k)/2)*sum((-1)^i*binomial((n+k)/2-4, i)*binomial(n+k-4-2*i, n-4), i=0..(n+k)/2-4); end if;
