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.

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

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

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 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

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).

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

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.

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

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

Formula

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, n
C(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

From Paul D. Hanna, Mar 24 2011: (Start)
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)

Recurrence equation: T(n,k) = T(n-1,k)*(n + k)/(n - k) - T(n-1,k-1) for n >= 2 and 1 <= k < n, with boundary conditions T(n,0) = T(n,n) = 1. Note, changing the minus sign in the recurrence to a plus sign gives a recurrence for the square of the binomial coefficients - see A008459.
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.
Let P denote the present triangle. For k = 0,1,2,... define P(k) to be the lower unit triangular block array

The infinite product P(0)*P(1)*P(2)*..., which is clearly well-defined, is equal to the triangle of Stirling numbers of the second kind A008277. The infinite product in the reverse order, that is, ...*P(2)*P(1)*P(0), is equal to the triangle of Stirling cycle numbers A130534. (End)
C(a+b,c) = Sum_{k=0..a} C(a,k)*C(b,b-c+k). This is a generalization of equation 1 from section 4.2.5 of the Prudnikov et al. reference, for a=b=c=n: C(2*n,n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)^2. See Links section for animation of new formula. - Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt, Aug 26 2015
The row polynomials of the Pascal matrix P(n,x) = (1+x)^n are related to the Bernoulli polynomials Br(n,x) and their umbral compositional inverses Bv(n,x) by the umbral relation P(n,x) = (-Br(.,-Bv(.,x)))^n = (-1)^n Br(n,-Bv(.,x)), which translates into the matrix relation P = M * Br * M * Bv, where P is the Pascal matrix, M is the diagonal matrix diag(1,-1,1,-1,...), Br is the matrix for the coefficients of the Bernoulli polynomials, and Bv that for the umbral inverse polynomials defined umbrally by Br(n,Bv(.,x)) = x^n = Bv(n,Br(.,x)).

Polynomial reduction: an introduction
...
We begin with an example. Suppose that p(x) is a polynomial, so that p(x)=(x^2)t(x)+r(x) for some polynomials t(x) and r(x), where r(x) has degree 0 or 1. Replace x^2 by x+1 to get (x+1)t(x)+r(x), which is (x^2)u(x)+v(x) for some u(x) and v(x), where v(x) has degree 0 or 1. Continuing in this manner results in a fixed polynomial w(x) of degree 0 or 1. If p(x)=x^n, then w(x)=x*F(n)+F(n-1), where F=A000045, the sequence of Fibonacci numbers.
In order to generalize, write d(g) for the degree of an arbitrary polynomial g(x), and suppose that p, q, s are polynomials satisfying d(s)s in this manner until reaching w such that d(w)s.
The coefficients of (reduction of p by q->s) comprise a vector of length d(q)-1, so that a sequence p(n,x) of polynomials begets a sequence of vectors, such as (F(n), F(n-1)) in the above example. We are interested in the component sequences (e.g., F(n-1) and F(n)) for various choices of p(n,x).
Following are examples of reduction by x^2->x+1:
n-th Fibonacci p(x) -> A192232+x*A112576
n-th cyclotomic p(x) -> A192233+x*A051258
n-th 1st-kind Chebyshev p(x) -> A192234+x*A071101
n-th 2nd-kind Chebyshev p(x) -> A192235+x*A192236
x(x+1)(x+2)...(x+n-1) -> A192238+x*A192239
(x+1)^n -> A001519+x*A001906
(x^2+x+1)^n -> A154626+x*A087635
(x+2)^n -> A020876+x*A030191
(x+3)^n -> A192240+x*A099453
...
Suppose that b=(b(0), b(1),...) is a sequence, and let p(n,x)=b(0)+b(1)x+b(2)x^2+...+b(n)x^n. We define (reduction of sequence b by q->s) to be the vector given by (reduction of p(n,x) by q->s), with components in the order of powers, from 0 up to d(q)-1. For k=0,1,...,d(q)-1, we then have the "k-sequence of (reduction of sequence b by q->s)". Continuing the example, if b is the sequence given by b(k)=1 if k=n and b(k)=0 otherwise, then the 0-sequence of (reduction of b by x^2->x+1) is (F(n-1)), and the 1-sequence is (F(n)).
...
For selected sequences b, here are the 0-sequences and 1-sequences of (reduction of b by x^2->x+1):
b=A000045, Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,...) yields
0-sequence A166536 and 1-sequence A064831.
b=(1,A000045)=(1,1,1,2,3,5,8,...) yields
0-sequence A166516 and 1-sequence A001654.
b=A000027, natural number sequence (1,2,3,4,...) yields
0-sequence A190062 and 1-sequence A122491.
b=A000032, Lucas sequence (1,3,4,7,11,...) yields
0-sequence A192243 and 1-sequence A192068.
b=A000217, triangular sequence (1,3,6,10,...) yields
0-sequence A192244 and 1-sequence A192245.
b=A000290, squares sequence (1,4,9,16,...) yields
0-sequence A192254 and 1-sequence A192255.
More examples: A192245-A192257.
...
More comments:
(1) If s(n,x)=(reduction of x^n by q->s) and
p(x)=p(0)x^n+p(1)x^(n-1)+...+p(n)x^0, then
(reduction of p by q->s)=p(0)s(n,x)+p(1)s(n-1,x)
+...+p(n-1)s(1,x)+p(n)s(0,x). See A192744.
(2) For any polynomial p(x), let P(x)=(reduction of p(x)
by q->s). Then P(r)=p(r) for each zero r of
q(x)-s(x). In particular, if q(x)=x^2 and s(x)=x+1,
then P(r)=p(r) if r=(1+sqrt(5))/2 (golden ratio) or
r=(1-sqrt(5))/2.

Examples

			The first four Fibonacci polynomials and their reductions by x^2->x+1 are shown here:
F1(x)=1 -> 1 + 0x
F2(x)=x -> 0 + 1x
F3(x)=x^2+1 -> 2+1x
F4(x)=x^3+2x -> 1+4x
F5(x)=x^4+3x^2+1 -> (x+1)^2+3(x+1)+1 -> 6+6x.
From these, read A192232=(1,0,1,1,6,...) and A112576=(0,1,1,4,6,...).

Triangulate (hyperbolic) 2-space such that around every vertex exactly 7 triangles touch. Call any 7 triangles having a common vertex the first layer and let the (n+1)-st layer be all triangles that do not appear in any of the first n layers and have a common vertex with the n-th layer. Then the n-th layer contains 7*a(n-1) triangles. E.g., the first layer (by definition) contains 7 triangles, the second layer (the "ring" of triangles around the first layer) consists of 28 triangles, the third layer (the next "ring") consists of 77 triangles, and so on. - Nicolas Nagel, Aug 13 2022

The general result is: for k >= 0, a(k*n + (k-1)/2) = 2 * T(k, a(n)/2), where T(k, x) denotes the k-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind and a(n) = ((1 + sqrt(5))/2)^(2*n+1) + ((1 - sqrt(5))/2)^(2*n+1).
Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (1/4)* (theta_3(phi) - theta_3(phi^2)) = 0.815947983588122..., where theta_3(x) = 1 + 2*Sum_{n >= 1} x^(n^2) (see A000122) and phi = (sqrt(5) - 1)/2. See Borwein and Borwein, Exercise 3 a, p. 94 and Carlitz, 1967. (End)
From Peter Bala, May 15 2025: (Start)
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n) - 1/a(n)) = 1/5 (telescoping series: 5/(a(n) - 1/a(n)) = 1/A001906(n+1) + 1/A001906(n) ).
More generally, for k >= 1, Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(k*n) - s(k)/a(k*n)) = 1/(1 + a(k)) where s(k) = a(0) + a(1) + ... + a(k-1) = Lucas(2*k) - 2.
For k >= 1, Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n) + L(2*k)^2/a(n)) = (1/5) * A064170(k+2).
Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n) + 9/a(n)) = 3/10 (follows from 1/(a(n) + 9/a(n)) = L(2*n)/A081076(n) - L(2*n+2)/A081076(n+1) ).
More generally, it appears that for k >= 1, Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n) + L(2*k)^2/a(n)) is rational.
Product_{n >= 1} (a(n) + 1)/(a(n) - 1) = sqrt(5) [telescoping product: Product_{k = 1..n} ((a(k) + 1)/(a(k) - 1))^2 = 5*(1 - 4/A240926(n+1)) ]. (End)

For the difference equation a(n) = c*a(n-1) - d*a(n-2), with a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, the solution is a(n) = d^((n-1)/2) * ChebyshevU(n-1, c/(2*sqrt(d))) and has the alternate form a(n) = ( ((c + sqrt(c^2 - 4*d))/2)^n - ((c - sqrt(c^2 - 4*d))/2)^n )/sqrt(c^2 - 4*d). In the case c^2 = 4*d then the solution is a(n) = n*d^((n-1)/2). The generating function is x/(1 - c*x + d^2) and the exponential generating function takes the form (2/sqrt(c^2 - 4*d))*exp(c*x/2)*sinh(sqrt(c^2 - 4*d)*x/2) for c^2 > 4*d, (2/sqrt(4*d - c^2))*exp(c*x/2)*sin(sqrt(4*d - c^2)*x/2) for 4*d > c^2, and x*exp(sqrt(d)*x) if c^2 = 4*d. - G.

From Peter Bala, Aug 17 2007: (Start)
With an offset of 0, the row polynomials F(n,x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} C(n,k)* Fibonacci(n-k)*x^k satisfy F(n,x)*L(n,x) = F(2*n,x), where L(n,x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} C(n,k)*Lucas(n-k)*x^k.
Other identities and formulas include:
F(n+1,x)^2 - F(n,x)*F(n+2,x) = (x^2 + x - 1)^n;
Sum_{k = 0..n} C(n,k)*F(n-k,x)*L(k,x) = (2^n)*F(n,x);
F(n,2*x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} C(n,k)*F(n-k,x)*x^k;
F(n,3*x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} C(n,k)*F(n-k,2*x)*x^k, etc.
The sequence {F(n,r)}n>=1 gives the r-th binomial transform of the Fibonacci numbers: r = 1 gives A001906, r = 2 gives A030191, r = 3 gives A099453, r = 4 gives A081574, r = 5 gives A081575.
F(n,1/phi) = (-1)^(n-1)*F(n,-phi) = sqrt(5)^(n-1) for n >= 1, where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2.
The polynomials F(n,-x) satisfy a Riemann hypothesis: the zeros of F(n,-x) lie on the vertical line Re x = 1/2 in the complex plane.
G.f.: t/(1 - (2*x + 1)*t + (x^2 + x - 1)*t^2) = t + (1 + 2*x)*t^2 + (2 + 3*x + 3*x^2)*t^3 + (3 + 8*x + 6*x^2 + 4*x^3)*t^4 + ... . (End)
From Peter Bala, Jun 29 2016: (Start)
Working with an offset of 0, the n-th row polynomial F(n,x) = 1/sqrt(5)*( (x + phi)^n - (x - 1/phi)^n ), where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2.
d/dx(F(n,x)) = n*F(n-1,x).
F(-n,x) = -F(n,x)/(x^2 + x - 1)^n.
F(n,x - 1) = (-1)^(n-1)*F(n,-x).
F(n,x) is a divisibility sequence of polynomials, that is, if n divides m then F(n,x) divides F(m,x) in the polynomial ring Z[x]. (End)
From G. C. Greubel, Oct 30 2019: (Start)
Sum_{k = 1..n} T(n,k) = Fibonacci(2*n).
Sum_{k = 1..n} (-1)^k * T(n,k) = (-1)^n * Fibonacci(n). (End)
From Clark Kimberling, Oct 30 2019: (Start)
F(n,x) is a strong divisibility sequence of polynomials in Z[x]; that is,
gcd(F(x,h),F(x,k)) = F(x,gcd(h,k)) for h,k >= 1. Thus, if x is an integer, then F(n,x) is a strong divisibility sequence of integers; e.g., for x=3, we have A099453. (End)
Let p(n) denote the polynomial F(x,n). Then p(n) = k(b^n - c^n), where k = -1/sqrt(5), b = (1/2)(2x + 1 - sqrt(5)), c = (1/2)(2x + 1 + sqrt(5)), and for n >=3, p(n) = u*p(n - 1) + v*p(n - 2), where u = 1 + 2 x, v = 1 - x - x^2. - Clark Kimberling, Nov 11 2023
