A. W. F. Edwards writes: "It [the triangle] was first written down long before 1654, the year in which Blaise Pascal wrote his Traité du triangle arithmétique, but it was this work that brought together all the different aspects of the numbers for the first time. In it Pascal developed the properties of the number as a piece of pure mathematics ... and then, in a series of appendices, showed how these properties were relevant to the study of the figurate numbers, to the theory of combinations, to the expansion of binomial expressions, and to the solution of an important problem in the theory of probability." (A. W. F. Edwards, Pascal's Arithmetical Triangle, Johns Hopkins University Press (2002), p. xiii)
Edwards reports that the naming of the triangle after Pascal was done first by Montmort in 1708 as the "Table de M. Pascal pour les combinaisons" and then by De Moivre in 1730 as the "Triangulum Arithmeticum PASCALANIUM". (Edwards, p. xiv)
In China, Yang Hui in 1261 listed the coefficients of (a+b)^n up to n=6, crediting the expansion to Chia Hsein's Shih-so suan-shu circa 1100. Another prominent early use was in Chu Shih-Chieh's Precious Mirror of the Four Elements in 1303. (Edwards, p. 51)
In Persia, Al-Karaji discovered the binomial triangle "some time soon after 1007", and Al-Samawal published it in the Al-bahir some time before 1180. (Edwards, p. 52)
In India, Halayuda's commentary (circa 900) on Pingala's treatise on syllabic combinations (circa 200 B.C.E.) contains a clear description of the additive computation of the triangle. (Amulya Kumar Bag, Binomial Theorem in Ancient India, p. 72)
Also in India, the multiplicative formula for C(n,k) was known to Mahavira in 850 and restated by Bhaskara in 1150. (Edwards, p. 27)
In Italy, Tartaglia published the triangle in his General trattato (1556), and Cardano published it in his Opus novum (1570). (Edwards, p. 39, 44) - Russ Cox, Mar 29 2022
Also sometimes called Omar Khayyam's triangle.
Also sometimes called Yang Hui's triangle.
C(n,k) = number of k-element subsets of an n-element set.
Row n gives coefficients in expansion of (1+x)^n.
Binomial(n+k-1,n-1) is the number of ways of placing k indistinguishable balls into n boxes (the "bars and stars" argument - see Feller).
Binomial(n-1,k-1) is the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of n with k summands.
Binomial(n+k-1,k-1) is the number of weak compositions (ordered weak partitions) of n into exactly k summands. - Juergen Will, Jan 23 2016
Binomial(n,k) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) using steps (1,0) and (1,1). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011

Can be viewed as an array, read by antidiagonals, where the entries in the first row and column are all 1's and A(i,j) = A(i-1,j) + A(i,j-1) for all other entries. The determinant of each of its n X n subarrays starting at (0,0) is 1. - Gerald McGarvey, Aug 17 2004
Also the lower triangular readout of the exponential of a matrix whose entry {j+1,j} equals j+1 (and all other entries are zero). - Joseph Biberstine (jrbibers(AT)indiana.edu), May 26 2006
Binomial(n-3,k-1) counts the permutations in S_n which have zero occurrences of the pattern 231 and one occurrence of the pattern 132 and k descents. Binomial(n-3,k-1) also counts the permutations in S_n which have zero occurrences of the pattern 231 and one occurrence of the pattern 213 and k descents. - David Hoek (david.hok(AT)telia.com), Feb 28 2007

Consider integer lists LL of lists L of the form LL = [m#L] = [m#[k#2]] (where '#' means 'times') like LL(m=3,k=3) = [[2,2,2],[2,2,2],[2,2,2]]. The number of the integer list partitions of LL(m,k) is equal to binomial(m+k,k) if multiple partitions like [[1,1],[2],[2]] and [[2],[2],[1,1]] and [[2],[1,1],[2]] are counted only once. For the example, we find 4*5*6/3! = 20 = binomial(6,3). - Thomas Wieder, Oct 03 2007
The infinitesimal generator for Pascal's triangle and its inverse is A132440. - Tom Copeland, Nov 15 2007
Row n>=2 gives the number of k-digit (k>0) base n numbers with strictly decreasing digits; e.g., row 10 for A009995. Similarly, row n-1>=2 gives the number of k-digit (k>1) base n numbers with strictly increasing digits; see A009993 and compare A118629. - Rick L. Shepherd, Nov 25 2007
From Lee Naish (lee(AT)cs.mu.oz.au), Mar 07 2008: (Start)
Binomial(n+k-1, k) is the number of ways a sequence of length k can be partitioned into n subsequences (see the Naish link).
Binomial(n+k-1, k) is also the number of n- (or fewer) digit numbers written in radix at least k whose digits sum to k. For example, in decimal, there are binomial(3+3-1,3)=10 3-digit numbers whose digits sum to 3 (see A052217) and also binomial(4+2-1,2)=10 4-digit numbers whose digits sum to 2 (see A052216). This relationship can be used to generate the numbers of sequences A052216 to A052224 (and further sequences using radix greater than 10). (End)

Denote by sigma_k(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) the elementary symmetric polynomials. Then:
Binomial(2n+1,2k+1) = sigma_{n-k}(x_1,x_2,...,x_n), where x_i = tan^2(i*Pi/(2n+1)), (i=1,2,...,n).
Binomial(2n,2k+1) = 2n*sigma_{n-1-k}(x_1,x_2,...,x_{n-1}), where x_i = tan^2(i*Pi/(2n)), (i=1,2,...,n-1).
Binomial(2n,2k) = sigma_{n-k}(x_1,x_2,...,x_n), where x_i = tan^2((2i-1)Pi/(4n)), (i=1,2,...,n).
Binomial(2n+1,2k) = (2n+1)sigma_{n-k}(x_1,x_2,...,x_n), where x_i = tan^2((2i-1)Pi/(4n+2)), (i=1,2,...,n). (End)
Given matrices R and S with R(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*r(n-k) and S(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*s(n-k), then R*S = T where T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*[r(.)+s(.)]^(n-k), umbrally. And, the e.g.f.s for the row polynomials of R, S and T are, respectively, exp(x*t)*exp[r(.)*x], exp(x*t)*exp[s(.)*x] and exp(x*t)*exp[r(.)*x]*exp[s(.)*x] = exp{[t+r(.)+s(.)]*x}. The row polynomials are essentially Appell polynomials. See A132382 for an example. - Tom Copeland, Aug 21 2008
As the rectangle R(m,n) = binomial(m+n-2,m-1), the weight array W (defined generally at A144112) of R is essentially R itself, in the sense that if row 1 and column 1 of W=A144225 are deleted, the remaining array is R. - Clark Kimberling, Sep 15 2008
If A007318 = M as an infinite lower triangular matrix, M^n gives A130595, A023531, A007318, A038207, A027465, A038231, A038243, A038255, A027466, A038279, A038291, A038303, A038315, A038327, A133371, A147716, A027467 for n=-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 11 2008

The triangle or chess sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link Pascal's triangle with twenty different sequences, see the crossrefs. All sums come in pairs due to the symmetrical nature of this triangle. The knight sums Kn14 - Kn110 have been added. It is remarkable that all knight sums are related to the Fibonacci numbers, i.e., A000045, but none of the others. - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010
Binomial(n,k) is also the number of ways to distribute n+1 balls into k+1 urns so that each urn gets at least one ball. See example in the example section below. - Dennis P. Walsh, Jan 29 2011
Binomial(n,k) is the number of increasing functions from {1,...,k} to {1,...,n} since there are binomial(n,k) ways to choose the k distinct, ordered elements of the range from the codomain {1,...,n}. See example in the example section below. - Dennis P. Walsh, Apr 07 2011
Central binomial coefficients: T(2*n,n) = A000984(n), T(n, floor(n/2)) = A001405(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 09 2011
Binomial(n,k) is the number of subsets of {1,...,n+1} with k+1 as median element. To see this, note that Sum_{j=0..min(k,n-k)}binomial(k,j)*binomial(n-k,j) = binomial(n,k). See example in Example section below. - Dennis P. Walsh, Dec 15 2011
This is the coordinator triangle for the lattice Z^n, see Conway-Sloane, 1997. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 17 2012
One of three infinite families of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1 (see Bober, Theorem 1.2). The other two are A046521 and A068555. For real r >= 0, C_r(n,k) := floor(r*n)!/(floor(r*k)!*floor(r*(n-k))!) is integral. See A211226 for the case r = 1/2. - Peter Bala, Apr 10 2012
Define a finite triangle T(m,k) with n rows such that T(m,0) = 1 is the left column, T(m,m) = binomial(n-1,m) is the right column, and the other entries are T(m,k) = T(m-1,k-1) + T(m-1,k) as in Pascal's triangle. The sum of all entries in T (there are A000217(n) elements) is 3^(n-1). - J. M. Bergot, Oct 01 2012
The lower triangular Pascal matrix serves as a representation of the operator exp(RLR) in a basis composed of a sequence of polynomials p_n(x) characterized by ladder operators defined by R p_n(x) = p_(n+1)(x) and L p_n(x) = n p_(n-1)(x). See A132440, A218272, A218234, A097805, and A038207. The transposed and padded Pascal matrices can be associated to the special linear group SL2. - Tom Copeland, Oct 25 2012

A permutation p_1...p_n of the set {1,...,n} has a descent at position i if p_i > p_(i+1). Let S(n) denote the subset of permutations p_1...p_n of {1,...,n} such that p_(i+1) - p_i <= 1 for i = 1,...,n-1. Then binomial(n,k) gives the number of permutations in S(n+1) with k descents. Alternatively, binomial(n,k) gives the number of permutations in S(n+1) with k+1 increasing runs. - Peter Bala, Mar 24 2013
Sum_{n=>0} binomial(n,k)/n! = e/k!, where e = exp(1), while allowing n < k where binomial(n,k) = 0. Also Sum_{n>=0} binomial(n+k-1,k)/n! = e * A000262(k)/k!, and for k>=1 equals e * A067764(k)/A067653(k). - Richard R. Forberg, Jan 01 2014
The square n X n submatrix (first n rows and n columns) of the Pascal matrix P(x) defined in the formulas below when multiplying on the left the Vandermonde matrix V(x_1,...,x_n) (with ones in the first row) translates the matrix to V(x_1+x,...,x_n+x) while leaving the determinant invariant. - Tom Copeland, May 19 2014
For k>=2, n>=k,  k/((k/(k-1) - Sum_{n=k..m} 1/binomial(n,k))) = m!/((m-k+1)!*(k-2)!). Note: k/(k-1) is the infinite sum. See A000217, A000292, A000332 for examples. - Richard R. Forberg, Aug 12 2014
Let G_(2n) be the subgroup of the symmetric group S_(2n) defined by G_(2n) = {p in S_(2n) | p(i) = i (mod n) for i = 1,2,...,2n}. G_(2n) has order 2^n. Binomial(n,k) gives the number of permutations in G_(2n) having n + k cycles. Cf. A130534 and A246117. - Peter Bala, Aug 15 2014
C(n,k) = the number of Dyck paths of semilength n+1, with k+1 "u"'s in odd numbered positions and k+1 returns to the x axis.

The binomial coefficients binomial(n,k) give the number of individuals of the k-th generation after n population doublings. For each doubling of population, each individual's clone has its generation index incremented by 1, and thus goes to the next row. Just tally up each row from 0 to 2^n - 1 to get the binomial coefficients.

This is a fractal process: to get the pattern from 0 to 2^n - 1, append a shifted down (by one row) copy of the pattern from 0 to 2^(n-1) - 1 to the right of the pattern from 0 to 2^(n-1) - 1. (Inspired by the "binomial heap" data structure.)

Let {A(n)} be a set with exactly n identical elements, with {A(0)} being the empty set E. Let {A(n,k)} be the k-th iteration of {A(n)}, with {A(n,0)} = {A(n)}. {A(n,1)} = The set of all the subsets of A{(n)}, including {A(n)} and E. {A(n,k)} = The set of all subsets of {A(n,k-1)}, including all of the elements of {A(n,k-1)}. Let A(n,k) be the number of elements in {A(n,k)}. Then A(n,k) = C(n+k,k), with each successive iteration replicating the members of the k-th diagonal of Pascal's Triangle. See examples. - Gregory L.

C(n,k-1) is the number of unoriented colorings of the facets (or vertices) of an n-dimensional simplex using exactly k colors. Each chiral pair is counted as one when enumerating unoriented arrangements. - Robert A. Russell, Oct 20 2020
From Dilcher and Stolarsky: "Two of the most ubiquitous objects in mathematics are the sequence of prime numbers and the binomial coefficients (and thus Pascal's triangle). A connection between the two is given by a well-known characterization of the prime numbers: Consider the entries in the k-th row of Pascal's triangle, without the initial and final entries. They are all divisible by k if and only if k is a prime." - Tom Copeland, May 17 2021
Named "Table de M. Pascal pour les combinaisons" by Pierre Remond de Montmort (1708) after the French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623-1662). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 11 2021
Consider the n-th diagonal of the triangle as a sequence b(n) with n starting at 0. From it form a new sequence by leaving the 0th term as is, and thereafter considering all compositions of n, taking the product of b(i) over the respective numbers i in each composition, adding terms corresponding to compositions with an even number of parts subtracting terms corresponding to compositions with an odd number of parts. Then the n-th row of the triangle is obtained, with every second term multiplied by -1, followed by infinitely many zeros. For sequences starting with 1, this operation is a special case of a self-inverse operation, and therefore the converse is true. - Thomas Anton, Jul 05 2021
C(n,k) is the number of vertices in an n-dimensional unit hypercube, at an L1 distance of k (or: with a shortest path of k 1d-edges) from a given vertex. - Eitan Y. Levine, May 01 2023
C(n+k-1,k-1) is the number of vertices at an L1 distance from a given vertex in an infinite-dimensional box, which has k sides of length 2^m for each m >= 0. Equivalently, given a set of tokens containing k distinguishable tokens with value 2^m for each m >= 0, C(n+k-1,k-1) is the number of subsets of tokens with a total value of n. - Eitan Y. Levine, Jun 11 2023

Let r(k) be the k-th row and c(k) the k-th column. Denote convolution by * and repeated convolution by ^. Then r(k)*r(m)=r(k+m) and c(k)*c(m)=c(k+m+1). This is because r(k) = r(1) ^ k and c(k) = c(0) ^ k+1. - Eitan Y. Levine, Jul 23 2023
Number of permutations of length n avoiding simultaneously the patterns 231 and 312(resp., 213 and 231; 213 and 312) with k descents (equivalently, with k ascents). An ascent (resp., descent) in a permutation a(1)a(2)...a(n) is position i such that a(i)a(i+1)). - Tian Han, Nov 25 2023

a(n, k) = C(n,k) = binomial(n, k).
C(n, k) = C(n-1, k) + C(n-1, k-1).
The triangle is symmetric: C(n,k) = C(n,n-k).
a(n+1, m) = a(n, m) + a(n, m-1), a(n, -1) := 0, a(n, m) := 0, nC(n, k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!) if 0<=k<=n, otherwise 0.
C(n, k) = ((n-k+1)/k) * C(n, k-1) with C(n, 0) = 1. - Michael B. Porter, Mar 23 2025
G.f.: 1/(1-y-x*y) = Sum_(C(n, k)*x^k*y^n, n, k>=0)
G.f.: 1/(1-x-y) = Sum_(C(n+k, k)*x^k*y^n, n, k>=0).
G.f. for row n: (1+x)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n, k)*x^k.
G.f. for column k: x^k/(1-x)^(k+1); [corrected by Werner Schulte, Jun 15 2022].
E.g.f.: A(x, y) = exp(x+x*y).
E.g.f. for column n: x^n*exp(x)/n!.
In general the m-th power of A007318 is given by: T(0, 0) = 1, T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + m*T(n-1, k), where n is the row-index and k is the column; also T(n, k) = m^(n-k)*C(n, k).
Triangle T(n, k) read by rows; given by A000007 DELTA A000007, where DELTA is Deléham's operator defined in A084938.
Let P(n+1) = the number of integer partitions of (n+1); let p(i) = the number of parts of the i-th partition of (n+1); let d(i) = the number of different parts of the i-th partition of (n+1); let m(i, j) = multiplicity of the j-th part of the i-th partition of (n+1). Define the operator Sum_{i=1..P(n+1), p(i)=k+1} as the sum running from i=1 to i=P(n+1) but taking only partitions with p(i)=(k+1) parts into account. Define the operator Product_{j=1..d(i)} = product running from j=1 to j=d(i). Then C(n, k) = Sum_{p(i)=(k+1), i=1..P(n+1)} p(i)! / [Product_{j=1..d(i)} m(i, j)!]. E.g., C(5, 3) = 10 because n=6 has the following partitions with m=3 parts: (114), (123), (222). For their multiplicities one has: (114): 3!/(2!*1!) = 3; (123): 3!/(1!*1!*1!) = 6; (222): 3!/3! = 1. The sum is 3 + 6 + 1 = 10 = C(5, 3). - Thomas Wieder, Jun 03 2005

Let A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(n*(n+1)/2)*(1+x)^n be the g.f. of the flattened triangle:
A(x) = 1 + (x + x^2) + (x^3 + 2*x^4 + x^5) + (x^6 + 3*x^7 + 3*x^8 + x^9) + ...
then A(x) equals the series Sum_{n>=0} (1+x)^n*x^n*Product_{k=1..n} (1-(1+x)*x^(2*k-1))/(1-(1+x)*x^(2*k));
also, A(x) equals the continued fraction 1/(1- x*(1+x)/(1+ x*(1-x)*(1+x)/(1- x^3*(1+x)/(1+ x^2*(1-x^2)*(1+x)/(1- x^5*(1+x)/(1+ x^3*(1-x^3)*(1+x)/(1- x^7*(1+x)/(1+ x^4*(1-x^4)*(1+x)/(1- ...))))))))).
These formulas are due to (1) a q-series identity and (2) a partial elliptic theta function expression. (End)

There is a relation between the e.g.f.'s of the rows and the diagonals of the triangle, namely, exp(x) * e.g.f. for row n = e.g.f. for diagonal n. For example, for n = 3 we have exp(x)*(1 + 3*x + 3*x^2/2! + x^3/3!) = 1 + 4*x + 10*x^2/2! + 20*x^3/3! + 35*x^4/4! + .... This property holds more generally for the Riordan arrays of the form ( f(x), x/(1 - x) ), where f(x) is an o.g.f. of the form 1 + f_1*x + f_2*x^2 + .... See, for example, A055248 and A106516.

This is an example for a subclass of Riordan convolution arrays (lower triangular matrices) called Bell arrays. See the L. W. Shapiro et al. reference under A007318. If a Riordan array is named (G(z),F(z)) with F(z)=z*Fhat(z), the o.g.f. for the row polynomials is G(z)/(1-x*z*Fhat(z)), and it becomes a Bell array if G(z)=Fhat(z). For the present Bell type triangle G(z)=1/(1+z^2) (see the o.g.f. comment above). This leads to the o.g.f. for the column no. k, k >= 0, x^k/(1+x^2)^(k+1) (see the formula section), the one for the row sums and for the alternating row sums (see comments above). The Riordan (Bell) A- and Z-sequences (defined in a W. Lang link under A006232, with references) have o.g.f.s 1-x*c(x^2) and -x*c(x^2), with the o.g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108.

Solutions of the Diophantine equation u^2 + v^2 - k*u*v = 1 for integer k given by (u(k,n), v(k,n)) = (S(n,k), S(n-1,k)) because of the Cassini-Simson identity: S(n,x)^2 - S(n+1,x)*S(n-1, x) = 1, after use of the S-recurrence. Note that S(-n, x) = -S(-n-2, x), n >= 1, and the periodicity of some S(n, k) sequences.
Hence another way to obtain the row polynomials would be to take powers of the matrix [x, -1; 1,0]: S(n, x) = (([x, -1; 1, 0])^n)[1,1], n >= 0.

Thus S(q-1, 2*cos(2*Pi*k/p)) = ((-4)^Q)*Product_{l=1..Q} (sin^2(2*Pi*k/p) - sin^2(Pi*l/q)) = ((-4)^Q)*Product_{m=1..Q} (sin^2(2*Pi*k/p) - sin^2(2*Pi*m/q)). For the proof of the last equality see a W. Lang comment on the triangle A057059 for n = Q and an obvious function f. This leads to Eisenstein's proof of the quadratic reciprocity law Legendre(q,p) = ((-1)^(P*Q)) * Legendre(p,q), See the Lemmermeyer reference, pp. 236-237. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 28 2016

The formula for Ramanujan's tau function (see A000594) for prime powers is tau(p^k) = p^(11*k/2)*S(k, p^(-11/2)*tau(p)) for k >= 1, and p = A000040(n), n >= 1. See the Hardy reference, p. 164, eqs. (10.3.4) and (10.3.6) rewritten in terms of S. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 27 2017
From Wolfdieter Lang, May 08 2017: (Start)
The number of zeros Z(n) of the S(n, x) polynomials in the open interval (-1,+1) is 2*b(n) for even n >= 0 and 1 + 2*b(n) for odd n >= 1, where b(n) = floor(n/2) - floor((n+1)/3). This b(n) is the number of integers k in the interval (n+1)/3 < k <= floor(n/2). See a comment on the zeros of S(n, x) above, and b(n) = A008615(n-2), n >= 0. The numbers Z(n) have been proposed (with a conjecture related to A008611) by Michel Lagneau, as the number of zeros of Fibonacci polynomials on the imaginary axis (-I,+I), with I=sqrt(-1). They are Z(n) = A008611(n-1), n >= 0, with A008611(-1) = 0. Also Z(n) = A194960(n-4), n >= 0. Proof using the A008611 version. A194960 follows from this.
In general the number of zeros Z(a;n) of S(n, x) for n >= 0 in the open interval (-a,+a) for a from the interval (0,2) (x >= 2 never has zeros, and a=0 is trivial: Z(0;n) = 0) is with b(a;n) = floor(n//2) - floor((n+1)*arccos(a/2)/Pi), as above Z(a;n) = 2*b(a;n) for even n >= 0 and 1 + 2*b(a;n) for odd n >= 1. For the closed interval [-a,+a] Z(0;n) = 1 and for a from (0,1) one uses for Z(a;n) the values b(a;n) = floor(n/2) - ceiling((n+1)*arccos(a/2)/Pi) + 1. (End)
The Riordan row polynomials S(n, x) (Chebyshev S) belong to the Boas-Buck class (see a comment and references in A046521), hence they satisfy the Boas-Buck identity: (E_x - n*1)*S(n, x) = (E_x + 1)*Sum_{p=0..n-1} (1 - (-1)^p)*(-1)^((p+1)/2)*S(n-1-p, x), for n >= 0, where E_x = x*d/dx (Euler operator). For the triangle T(n, k) this entails a recurrence for the sequence of column k, given in the formula section. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 11 2017
The e.g.f. E(x,t) := Sum_{n>=0} (t^n/n!)*S(n,x) for the row polynomials is obtained via inverse Laplace transformation from the above given o.g.f. as E(x,t) = ((1/xm)*exp(t/xm) - (1/xp)*exp(t/xp) )/(xp - xm) with xp = (x + sqrt(x^2-4))/2 and xm = (x - sqrt(x^2-4))/2. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 08 2017

Factorization of row polynomials S(n, x), for n >= 1, in terms of C polynomials (not Chebyshev C) with coefficients given in A187360. This is obtained from the factorization into Psi polynomials (see the Jul 12 2011 comment above) but written in terms of minimal polynomials of 2*cos(2*Pi/n) with coefficients in A232624:
S(2*k, x) = Product_{2 <= d | (2*k+1)} C(d, x)*(-1)^deg(d)*C(d, -x), with deg(d) = A055034(d) the degree of C(d, x).
S(2*k+1, x) = Product_{2 <= d | 2*(k+1)} C(d, x) * Product_{3 <= 2*d + 1 | (k+1)} (-1)^(deg(2*d+1))*C(2*d+1, -x).
Note that (-1)^(deg(2*d+1))*C(2*d+1, -x)*C(2*d+1, x) pairs always appear.
The number of C factors of S(2*k, x), for k >= 0, is 2*(tau(2*k+1) - 1) = 2*(A099774(k+1) - 1) = 2*A095374(k), and for S(2*k+1, x), for k >= 0, it is tau(2*(k+1)) + tau_{odd}(k+1) - 2 = A302707(k), with tau(2*k+1) = A099774(k+1), tau(n) = A000005 and tau(2*(k+1)) = A099777(k+1).
For the reverse problem, the factorization of C polynomials into S polynomials, see A255237. (End)
The S polynomials with general initial conditions S(a,b;n,x) = x*S(a,b;n-1,x) - S(a,b;n-2,x), for n >= 1, with S(a,b;-1,x) = a and S(a,b;0,x) = b are S(a,b;n,x) = b*S(n, x) - a*S(n-1, x), for n >= -1. Recall that S(-2, x) = -1 and S(-1, x) = 0. The o.g.f. is G(a,b;z,x) = (b - a*z)/(1 - x*z + z^2). - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 18 2019

Multi-section of S-polynomials: S(m*n+k, x) = S(m+k, x)*S(n-1, R(m, x)) - S(k, x)*S(n-2, R(m, x)), with R(n, x) = S(n, x) - S(n-2, x) (see A127672), S(-2, x) = -1, and S(-1, x) = 0, for n >= 0, m >= 1, and k = 0, 1, ..., m-1.
O.g.f. of {S(m*n+k, y)}_{n>=0}: G(m,k,y,x) = (S(k, y) - (S(k, y)*R(m, y) - S(m+k, y))*x)/(1 - R(m,y)*x + x^2).
See eqs. (40) and (49), with r = x or y and s =-1, of the G. Detlefs and W. Lang link at A034807. (End)
S(n, x) for complex n and complex x: S(n, x) = ((-i/2)/sqrt(1 - (x/2)^2))*(q(x/2)*exp(+n*log(q(x/2))) - (1/q(x/2))*exp(-n*log(q(x/2)))), with q(x) = x + sqrt(1 - x^2)*i. Here log(z) = |z| + Arg(z)*i, with Arg(z) from [-Pi,+Pi) (principal branch). This satisfies the recurrence relation for S because it is derived from the Binet - de Moivre formula for S. Examples: S(n/m, 0) = cos((n/m)*Pi/4), for n >= 0 and m >= 1. S(n*i, 0) = (1/2)*(1 + exp(n*Pi))*exp(-(n/2)*Pi), for n >= 0. S(1+i, 2+i) = 0.6397424847... + 1.0355669490...*i. Thanks to Roberto Alfano for asking a question leading to this formula. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 05 2023

The row polynomials satisfy also S(n,x) = 2*(T(n+2, x/2) - T(n, x/2))/(x^2-4) with the Chebyshev T-polynomials. Proof: Use the trace formula 2*T(n, x/2) = S(n, x) - S(n-2, x) (see the Dec 02 2010 comment above) and the S-recurrence several times. This is a formula which expresses the S- in terms of the T-polynomials. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 07 2014
