%N Triangle of coefficients of polynomials concerning Newman-like phenomenon of multiples of b+1 in even base b in interval [0,b^n) (see comment).

%C In 1969, D. J. Newman (see the reference) proved that difference between numbers of multiples of 3 with even and odd binary digit sums in interval [0,x] is always positive. This fact now is known as Newman phenomenon.

%C Consider difference between numbers of multiples of b+1 with even and odd digit sums in even base b in interval [0, b^n). It is a polynomial in b P_n(b) of degree n-1 and multiple of b, if n is even, and n-2, if n is odd, such that all polynomials Q_n(b):=A156769(n/2)*P_n(b)/b, if n is even, and Q_n(b):=A156769((n-1)/2)*P_n(b), if n is odd, presumably have integer coefficients and are of degree n-2. The sequence is triangle of coefficients of polynomials Q_n(b).

%C The r-th row contains r-1 entries.

%C Since, evidently, P_n(1)=1, then the row sums form sequence A156769 repeated.

%F If n>=2 is even, then P_(n+1)(b) = (-1)^((n-2)/2)*(C(b+1,n)-C(b-1,n))-sum{i=2,4,...,n-2}(-1)^((n+i)/2)*C(b+1, n-i)*P_(i+1)(b), where P_n(b)=b*Q_n(b)/A156769(n/2);

%F if n>=3 is odd, then P_(n+1)(b) = (-1)^((n-1)/2)*(C(b,n)-b*C(b+1,n-1))+sum{i=3,5,...,n-2}(-1)^((n+i)/2)*C(b+1, n-i)*P_(i+1)(b), where

%F P_n(b) = Q_n(b)/A156769((n-1)/2).

%F P_n(b) = 2/(b+1)*Sum_{j=1..b/2}(tan(j*Pi/(b+1)))^n, if n is even, and

%F P_n(b) = 2/(b+1)*Sum_{j=1..b/2}(tan(j*Pi/(b+1)))^n*sin(j*Pi/(b+1)), if n is odd.

%e For example, if r=4, the polynomial

%e P_4(b)=b*(b^2+3*b-1)/A156769(4/2)=b/3*(b^2+3*b-1) (b==0 mod 2)

%e gives difference between multiples of b+1 with even and odd digit sums in base b in interval [0, b^4). Note also that P_2(b)=b. Therefore, setting in the formula n=r=3, again for P_4(b) we have P_4(b)=b*C(b+1,2)-C(b,3)=b/3*(b^2+3*b-1).
