%N Triangle read by rows: coefficients of the complementary Swiss-Knife polynomials.

%C Definition. V_n(x) = (skp(n, x+1) - skp(n, x-1))/2 where skp(n,x) are the Swiss-Knife polynomials A153641. - _Peter Luschny_, Jul 23 2012

%C Equivalently, let the polynomials V_n(x) (n>=0) defined by V_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{v=0..k} (-1)^v*C(k,v)*L(k)*(x+v+1)^n; the sequence L(k) = -1 - H(k-1)*(-1)^floor((k-1)/4) / 2^floor(k/2) if k > 0 and L(0)=0; H(k) = 1 if k mod 4 <> 0, otherwise 0.

%C (1) V_n(0) = 2^n * Euler(n,1) for n > 0, A155585.

%C (2) V_n(1) = 1 - Euler(n).

%C (3) V_{n-1}(0) n / (4^n - 2^n) = B_n gives for n > 1 the Bernoulli numbers A027641/A027642.

%C (4) V_{n-1}(0) n (2/2^n-2)/(2^n-1) = G_n the Genocchi number A036968 for n > 1.

%C (5) V_n(1/2)2^{n} - 1 is a signed version of the generalized Euler (Springer) numbers, see A001586.

%C The Swiss-Knife polynomials (A153641) are complementary to the polynomials defined here. Adding both gives polynomials with e.g.f. exp(x*t)*(sech(t)+tanh(t)), the coefficients of which are a signed variant of A109449.

%C The Swiss-Knife polynomials as well as the complementary Swiss-Knife polynomials are closely related to the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Let F be a sequence and

%C P_{F}[n](x) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{v=0..k} (-1)^v*C(k,v)*F(k)*(x+v+1)^n.

%C V_n(x) = P_{F}[n](x) with F(k)=L(k) defined above, are the Co-Swiss-Knife polynomials,

%C W_n(x) = P_{F}[n](x) with F(k)=c(k) the Chen sequence defined in A153641 are the Swiss-Knife polynomials.

%C B_n(x) = P_{F}[n](x-1) with F(k)=1/(k+1) are the Bernoulli polynomials,

%C E_n(x) = P_{F}[n](x-1) with F(k)=2^(-k) are the Euler polynomials.

%C The most striking formal difference between the Swiss-Knife-type polynomials and the Bernoulli-Euler type polynomials is: The SK-type polynomials have integer coefficients whereas the BE-type polynomials have rational coefficients.

%C Let R be the exponential Riordan array (exp(x)*sech(x), x) = P * A119879 = 2*P(I + P^2)^(-1) where P denotes Pascal's triangle A007318. Then T = R - I. - _Peter Bala_, Mar 07 2024
