Subtriangle of the triangle given by (1, 0, 1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (0, 2, 1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 24 2012
FORMULA
u(n,x) = x*u(n-1,x) + (x+1)*v(n-1,x),
v(n,x) = 2x*u(n-1,x) + (x+1)*v(n-1,x),
where u(1,x)=1, v(1,x)=1.

As DELTA-triangle T(n,k) with 0 <= k <= n:
G.f.: (1-2*y*x-y*x^2-y^2*x^2)/(1-x-2*y*x-y*x^2-y^2*x^2).
T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + 2*T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-2,k-1) + T(n-2,k-2), T(0,0) = T(1,0) = T(2,0) = 1, T(1,1) = T(2,2) = 0, T(2,1) = 2 and T(n,k) = 0 if k < 0 or if k > n. (End)
EXAMPLE
First five rows:
1;

First three polynomials u(n,x):
