Comments

The coefficients of the LS1 matrix are defined by LS1[2*m,n] = int(y^(2*m)/(sinh(y))^(2*n-1),y=0..infinity)/factorial(2*m) for m = 1, 2, 3, .. and n = 1, 2, 3, .. under the condition that n <= m.

This definition leads to LS1[2*m,n=1] = 2*lambda(2*m+1), for m = 1, 2, .. , and the recurrence relation LS1[2*m,n] = ((2*n-3)/(2*n-2))*(LS1[2*m-2,n-1]/(2*n-3)^2- LS1[2*m,n-1]). As usual lambda(m) = (1-2^(-m))*zeta(m) with zeta(m) the Riemann zeta function.

These two formulas enable us to determine the values of the LS1[2*m,n] coefficients, for all integers m and all positive integers n, but not for all n. If we choose, somewhat but not entirely arbitrarily, LS1[m=0,n=1] = gamma, with gamma the Euler-Mascheroni constant, we can determine them all.

The coefficients in the columns of the LS1 matrix, for m = 0, 1, 2, .. , and n = 2, 3, 4 .. , can be generated with the GL(z;n) polynomials for which we found the following general expression GL(z;n) = (h(n)*CFN2(z;n)*GL(z;n=1) + LAMBDA(z;n))/p(n).

The CFN2(z;n) polynomials depend on the central factorial numbers A008956.

The LAMBDA(z;n) are the Lambda polynomials which lead to the Lambda triangle.

The zero patterns of the Lambda polynomials resemble a UFO. These patterns resemble those of the Eta, Zeta and Beta polynomials, see A160464, A160474 and A160480.

The first Maple algorithm generates the coefficients of the Lambda triangle. The second Maple algorithm generates the LS1[2*m,n] coefficients for m= -1, -2, -3, .. .

Some of our results are conjectures based on numerical evidence.

Formula

We discovered a remarkable relation between the Lambda triangle coefficients Lambda(n,m) = ZL(n)*(Lambda(n-1,m-1)-(2*n-3)^2*Lambda(n-1,m)) for n = 3, 4, .. and m = 2, 3, .. . See A160488 for LAMBDA(n,m=1) and furthermore LAMBDA(n,n) = 0 for n = 2, 3, .. .

We observe that the ZL(n) = A160479(n) sequence also rules the Zeta triangle A160474.

The generating functions GL(z;n) of the coefficients in the matrix columns are defined by

GL(z;n) = sum(LS1[2*m-2,n]*z^(2*m-2), m=1..infinity), with n = 1, 2, 3, .. .

This definition, and our choice of LS1[m=0,n=1] = gamma, leads to GL(z;n=1) = -2*Psi(1-z)+Psi(1-(z/2))-(Pi/2)*tan(Pi*z/2) with Psi(z) the digamma-function. Furthermore we discovered that GL(z;n) =GL(z;n-1)*(z^2/((2*n-2)*(2*n-3)) -(2*n-3)/((2*n-2)))+LS1[ -2,n-1]/((2*n-2)*(2*n-3)) for n = 2, 3 , .. . with LS1[ -2,n] = (-1)^(n-1)*4*A058962(n-1)*A002197(n-1)/A002198(n-1) for n = 1, 2, .. , with A058962(n-1) = 2^(2*n-2)*(2*n-1).

We found the following general expression for the GL(z;n) polynomials, for n = 2, 3, ..

GL(z;n) = (h(n)*CFN2(z;n)*GL(z;n=1) + LAMBDA(z;n))/p(n) with

h(n) = 6*A160476(n) and p(n) = A160490(n).

Example

The first few rows of the triangle LAMBDA(n,m) with n=2,3,.. and m=1,2,.. are
  [1]
  [ -107, 10]
  [59845, -7497, 210]
  [ -6059823, 854396, -35574, 420]
The first few LAMBDA(z;n) polynomials are
  LAMBDA (z;n=2) = 1
  LAMBDA (z;n=3) = -107 +10*z^2
  LAMBDA (z;n=4) = 59845-7497*z^2+210*z^4
The first few CFN2(z;n) polynomials are
  CFN2(z;n=2) = (z^2-1)
  CFN2(z;n=3) = (z^4-10*z^2+9)
  CFN2(z;n=4) = (z^6- 35*z^4+259*z^2-225)
The first few generating functions GL(z;n) are:
  GL(z;n=2) = (6*(z^2-1)*GL(z,n=1) + (1)) /12
  GL(z;n=3) = (60*(z^4-10*z^2+9)*GL(z,n=1)+ (-107+10*z^2)) / 1440
  GL(z;n=4) = (1260*( z^6- 35*z^4+259*z^2-225)*GL(z,n=1) + (59845-7497*z^2+ 210*z^4))/907200
