%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = (-1)^(floor(3*k/2))*binomial(floor((n+k)/2),k), 0 <= k <= n.

%C Conjecture: (i) Let n > 1 and N=2*n+1. Row n of T gives the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial p_N(x)=Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^(n-k) of the n X n Danzer matrix D_{N,n-1} = {{0,...,0,1}, {0,...,0,1,1}, ..., {0,1,...,1}, {1,...,1}}. (ii) Let S_0(t)=1, S_1(t)=t and S_r(t)=t*S_(r-1)(t)-S_(r-2)(t), r > 1 (cf. A049310). Then p_N(x)=0 has solutions w_{N,j}=S_(n-1)(phi_{N,j}), where phi_{N,j}=2*(-1)^(j+1)*cos(j*Pi/N), j = 1..n. - _L.
