Comments

The row lengths sequence for this array is 2*n+1, given in A005408.

The coefficient triangle for the monic Chebyshev S-polynomials S(n,x) = U(n,x/2) are given in A049310.

The coefficients for S(n,x)^2 are given in A158454 and in A181878 (odd numbered rows shifted by one unit to the left).

Formula

a(n, m) = [x^(2*m)] S(n, x)^4, n >= 0, with the monic Chebyshev S-polynomials given in terms of the U-polynomials in a comment above.

The o.g.f. GS4(x, z) := sum((S(n, x)^4)*z^n,n=0..infinity) = ((1+z)/(1-z))*(1 - (2-3*x^2)*z + z^2)/((1-z*(-2+x^2)+z^2)*(1-z*(2-4*x^2+x^4)+z^2)). For the o.g.f. of the row polynomials p(n,x) :=sum(a(n,m)*x^m,m=0..n) take GS4(sqrt(x), z).

The row polynomial p(n, x^2) = Sum_{m=0..2*n} a(n, m)*x^(2*m) = (S(n, x))^4 = (R(4*(n+1), x) - 4*R(2*(n+1), x) + 6)/(x^2 - 4)^2, where R are the monic Chebyshev T polynomials with coefficients given in A127672. For factorizations of the S polynomials see comments on A049310. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 09 2018
