The Chebyshev polynomials have many special cases which have been studied under other names, most famously the Lucas polynomials.
Denote by the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and by the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.
Dickson polynomials
Dickson polynomials of the first kind
Dickson polynomials (of the first kind) are defined by
The first few Dickson polynomials of the first kind are
Dickson polynomials of the first kind (with πͺ = 1)
The Dickson polynomials (with πͺ = 1) are given by
The first few Dickson polynomials (with πͺ = 1) are
Dickson polynomials (with πͺ = 1),[1]
[2]
[3]
[4] , are equivalent to Chebyshev polynomials , with a slight and trivial change of variable
Dickson polynomials of the second kind
Dickson polynomials of the second kind are defined by
They have not been studied much, and have properties similar to those of Dickson polynomials of the first kind.
The first few Dickson polynomials of the second kind are
Fibonacci polynomials

If you look at the Fibonacci polynomials triangle, you will see that the rising diagonals corresponding to odd are the "(1,1)-Pascal polynomials". And the column of degree 1 have natural numbers as coefficients, the column of degree 2 have triangular numbers as coefficients, the column of degree 3 have tetrahedral numbers as coefficients, and so on... (Cf. rows of (1,1)-Pascal triangle, i.e. Pascal triangle.)
Lucas polynomials
- Main article page: Lucas polynomials
The Lucas polynomials (or Cardan polynomials) were created by Γdouard Lucas in 1878 to study linear recurrence relations, prime numbers, and other aspects of mathematics.
The sequence of Lucas polynomials [6] is a sequence of polynomials defined by the recurrence relation (compare with Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind recurrence on the right)
The ordinary generating function of the Lucas polynomials is

If you look at the Lucas polynomials triangle, you will see that the rising diagonals corresponding to even are the "(1,2)-Pascal polynomials". And the column of degree 1 have odd numbers as coefficients, the column of degree 2 have square numbers as coefficients, the column of degree 3 have square pyramidal numbers as coefficients, and so on... (Cf. rows of (1,2)-Pascal triangle, i.e. Lucas triangle.)
Boubaker polynomials
The Boubaker polynomials can be defined by the recurrence relation[7]
They are given by the closed form formula
The ordinary generating function is
In terms of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we have
In terms of both the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we have
