T(n,k) is the number of subsets of {1,2,...,n-1} of size k and containing no consecutive integers. Example: T(6,2)=6 because the subsets of size 2 of {1,2,3,4,5} with no consecutive integers are {1,3},{1,4},{1,5},{2,4},{2,5} and {3,5}. Equivalently, T(n,k) is the number of k-matchings of the path graph P_n. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 10 2003

T(n,k) = number of compositions of n+2 into k+1 parts, all >= 2. Example: T(6,2)=6 because we have (2,2,4),(2,4,2),(4,2,2),(2,3,3),(3,2,3) and (3,3,2). - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 09 2005

Given any recurrence sequence S(k) = x*a(k-1) + a(k-2), starting (1, x, x^2+1, ...); the (k+1)-th term of the series = f(x) in the k-th degree polynomial: (1, (x), (x^2 + 1), (x^3 + 2x), (x^4 + 3x^2 + 1), (x^5 + 4x^3 + 3x), (x^6 + 5x^4 + 6x^2 + 1), ...). Example: let x = 2, then S(k) = 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70, 169, ... such that A000129(7) = 169 = f(x), x^6 + 5x^4 + 6x^2 + 1 = (64 + 80 + 24 + 1). - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 16 2008

Row k gives the nonzero coefficients of U(k,x/2) where U is the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind. For example, row 6 is 1,5,6,1 and U(6,x/2) = x^6 - 5x^4 + 6x^2 - 1. - David Callan, Jul 22 2008

T(n,k) is the number of nodes at level k in the Fibonacci tree f(k-1). The Fibonacci trees f(k) of order k are defined as follows: 1. f(-1) and f(0) each consist of a single node. 2. For k >= 1, to the root of f(k-1), taken as the root of f(k), we attach with a rightmost edge the tree f(k-2). See the Iyer and Reddy references. These trees are not the same as the Fibonacci trees in A180566. Example: T(3,0)=1 and T(3,1)=2 because in f(2) = /\ we have 1 node at level 0 and 2 nodes at level 1. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 21 2011

If we set F(0;x) = 0, F(1;x) = 1, F(n+1;x) = x*F(n;x) + F(n-1;x), then we obtain the sequence of Vieta-Fibonacci polynomials discussed by Gary W. Adamson above. We note that F(n;x) = (-i)^n * U(n;i*x/2), where U denotes the respective Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind (see David Callan's remark above). Let us fix a,b,f(0),f(1) in C, b is not the zero, and set f(n) = a*f(n-1) + b*f(n-2). Then we deduce the relation: f(n) = b^((n-1)/2) * F(n;a/sqrt(b))*f(1) + b^(n/2) * F(n-1;a/sqrt(b))*f(0), where for a given value of the complex root sqrt(b) we set b^(n/2) = (sqrt(b))^n. Moreover, if b=1 then we get f(n+k) + (-1)^k * f(n-k) = L(k;a)*f(n), for every k=0,1,...,n, and where L(0;a)=2, L(1;a)=a, L(n+1;a)=a*L(n;a) + L(n-1;a) are the Vieta-Lucas polynomials. Let us observe that L(n+2;a) = F(n+2;a) + F(n;a), L(m+n;a) = L(m;a)*F(n;a) + L(m-1;a)*F(n-1;a), which implies also L(n+1;a) = a*F(n;a) + 2*F(n-1;a). Further we have L(n;a) = 2*(-i)^n * T(n;i*x/2), where T(n;x) denotes the n-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. For the proofs, other relations and facts - see Witula-Slota's papers. - Roman Witula, Oct 12 2012

Alternate rows can be parsed into those with odd integer coefficients to the right of the leftmost 1, and those with even integer coefficients to the right of the leftmost 1. The first set is shown in A054142 and are characteristic polynomials of submatrices of an infinite tridiagonal matrix (A332602) with all -1's in the super and subdiagonals and (1,2,2,2,...) as the main diagonal. For example, the characteristic equation of the 3 X 3 submatrix (1,-1,0; -1,2,-1; 0,-1,2) is x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 1. The roots are the Beraha constants B(7,1) = 3.24697...; B(7,2) = 1.55495...; and B(7,3) = 0.198062.... For n X n matrices of this form, the largest eigenvalue is B(2n+1, 1). The 3 X 3 matrix has an eigenvalue of 3.24697... = B(7,1).

Polynomials with even integer coefficients to the right of the leftmost 1 are in A053123 with roots being the even-indexed Beraha constants. The generating Cartan matrices are those with (2,2,2,...) as the main diagonal and -1's as the sub- and superdiagonals. The largest eigenvalue of n X n matrices of this form are B(2n+2,1). For example, the largest eigenvalue of (2,-1,0; -1,2,-1; 0,-1,2) is 3.414... = B(8,1) = a root to x^3 - 6x^2 + 10x - 4. (End)

T(n,k) is the number of edge covers of P_(n+2) with (n-k) edges. For example, T(6,2)=6 because among edges 1, 2, ..., 7 of P_8, we can eliminate any two non-consecutive edges among 2-6. These numbers can be found using the recurrence relation for the edge cover polynomial of P_n, which is E(P_n,x) = xE(P_(n-1),x)+xE(P_(n-2),x) and E(P_1,x)=0, E(P_2,x)=x (ref. Akbari and Oboudi). - Feryal Alayont, Jun 03 2022

T(n,k) is the number of positive integer sequences (s(1),s(2),...,s(n-2k)) such that s(i) < s(i+1), s(1) is odd, s(n-2k) <= n, and s(i) and s(i+1) have opposite parity (ref. Donnelly, Dunkum, and McCoy). Example: T(6,0)=1 corresponds to 123456; T(6,1)=5 corresponds to 1234, 1236, 1256, 1456, 3456; T(6,2)=6 corresponds to 12, 14, 16, 34, 36; and T(6,3)=1 corresponds to the empty sequence () with length 0. - Molly W.

In the same way that the sum of any two alternating terms of A006498 produces a term from A000045 (the Fibonacci sequence), so it could be thought of as a "meta-Fibonacci," and the sum of any two alternating terms of A013979 produces a term from A000930 (Narayana’s cows), so it could analogously be called "meta-Narayana’s cows," this sequence embeds (can generate) A000931 (the Padovan sequence), as the odd terms of A000931 are generated by the sum of successive elements (e.g. 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+6=9, 6+10=16) and its even terms are generated by the difference of "supersuccessive" (second-order successive or "alternating," separated by a single other term) terms (e.g. 10-3=7, 18-6=12, 31-10=21, 55-18=37) — or, equivalently, adding "supersupersuccessive" terms (separated by 2 other terms, e.g. 1+6=7, 2+10=12, 3+18=21, 6+31=37) — so it could be dubbed the "metaPadovan." - Michael Cohen and Yasuyuki Kachi, Jun 13 2024
