%N A008310 Triangle of coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials T_n(x).
%C A008310 The row length sequence of this irregular array is A008619(n), n >= 0. Even or odd powers appear in increasing order starting with 1 or x for even or odd row numbers n, respectively. This is the standard triangle A053120 with 0 deleted. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 02 2014
%C A008310 Let T* denote the triangle obtained by replacing each number in this triangle by its absolute value. Then T* gives the coefficients for cos(nx) as a polynomial in cos x. - _Clark Kimberling_, Aug 04 2024

The authors write, "Since the algebra of these is 'hyperbolic', contrary to the usual Chebyshev polynomials defined on the interval 0 <= x <= 1, we call the set of functions (21) the hyperbolic Chebyshev polynomials." (This refers to the triangle T* described in Comments.)
