Comments

Rows are of lengths 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ... (A008619).
This triangle is generated from A118800 by shifting down columns to allow for (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ...) terms in each row. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 16 2007
Unsigned triangle = A034839 * A007318. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 28 2008
Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (0, -1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 16 2011
From Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 02 2014: (Start)
This irregular triangle is the row reversed version of the Chebyshev T-triangle A053120 given by A039991 with vanishing odd-indexed columns removed.
If zeros are appended in each row n >= 1, in order to obtain a regular triangle (see the Philippe Deléham comment, g.f. and example) this becomes the Riordan triangle (1-x)/(1-2*x), -x^2/(1-2*x). See also the unsigned version A201701 of this regular triangle.

Apparently, unsigned diagonals of this array are rows of A200139. - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2014
It appears that the coefficients are generated by the following: Let SM_k = Sum( d_(t_1, t_2)* eM_1^t_1 * eM_2^t_2) summed over all length 2 integer partitions of k, i.e., 1*t_1 + 2*t_2 = k, where SM_k are the averaged k-th power sum symmetric polynomials in 2 data (i.e., SM_k = S_k/2 where S_k are the k-th power sum symmetric polynomials, and where eM_k are the averaged k-th elementary symmetric polynomials, eM_k = e_k/binomial(2,k) with e_k being the k-th elementary symmetric polynomials. The data d_(t_1, t_2) form an irregular triangle, with one row for each k value starting with k=1. Thus this procedure and associated OEIS sequences A287768, A288199, A288207, A288211, A288245, A288188 are generalizations of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. - Gregory Gerard Wojnar, Jul 01 2017

Examples

			Letting c = cos x, we have: cos 0x = 1, cos 1x = 1c; cos 2x = 2c^2-1; cos 3x = 4c^3-3c, cos 4x = 8c^4-8c^2+1, etc.
T4 = 8x^4 - 8x^2 + 1 = 8, -8, +1 = 2^(3) - (4)(2) + [2^(-1)](4)/2.
