Comments

Terms have the same parity as those of Pascal's triangle.

Coefficients of polynomials (1/2)*((1 + x^(1/2))^(2n) + (1 - x^(1/2))^(2n)).

Number of compositions of 2n having k parts greater than 1; example: T(3, 2) = 15 because we have 4+2, 2+4, 3+2+1, 3+1+2, 2+3+1, 2+1+3, 1+3+2, 1+2+3, 2+2+1+1, 2+1+2+1, 2+1+1+2, 1+2+2+1, 1+2+1+2, 1+1+2+2, 3+3. - Philippe Deléham, May 18 2005

Number of binary words of length 2n - 1 having k runs of consecutive 1's; example: T(3,2) = 15 because we have 00101, 01001, 01010, 01011, 01101, 10001, 10010, 10011, 10100, 10110, 10111, 11001, 11010, 11011, 11101. - Philippe Deléham, May 18 2005

Let M_n be the n X n matrix M_n(i, j) = T(i, j-1); then for n > 0, det(M_n) = A000364(n), Euler numbers; example: det([1, 1, 0, 0; 1, 6, 1, 0; 1, 15, 15, 1; 1, 28, 70, 28 ]) = 1385 = A000364(4). - Philippe Deléham, Sep 04 2005

Equals ConvOffsStoT transform of the hexagonal numbers, A000384: (1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...); e.g., ConvOffs transform of (1, 6, 15, 28) = (1, 28, 70, 28, 1). - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 22 2008

Let C_n be the root lattice generated as a monoid by {+-2*e_i: 1 <= i <= n; +-e_i +- e_j: 1 <= i not equal to j <= n}. Let P(C_n) be the polytope formed by the convex hull of this generating set. Then the rows of this array are the h-vectors of a unimodular triangulation of P(C_n) [Ardila et al.]. See A127674 for (a signed version of) the corresponding array of f-vectors for these type C_n polytopes. See A008459 for the array of h-vectors for type A_n polytopes and A108558 for the array of h-vectors associated with type D_n polytopes.

The Hilbert transform of this triangle is A142992 (see A145905 for the definition of this term).

Coefficients of Product_{k=1..n} (cot(k*Pi/(2n+1))^2 - x) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(2n,2k)*x^k/(2n+1-2k). - David Ingerman (daviddavifree(AT)gmail.com), Mar 30 2010

Generalized Narayana triangle for 4^n (or cosh(2x)). - Paul Barry, Sep 28 2010

Coefficients of the matrix inverse appear to be T^(-1)(n,k) = (-1)^(n+k)*A086646(n,k). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 12 2013

Let E(y) = Sum_{n>=0} y^n/(2*n)! = cosh(sqrt(y)). Then this triangle is the generalized Riordan array (E(y), y) with respect to the sequence (2*n)! as defined in Wang and Wang. Cf. A103327. - Peter Bala, Aug 06 2013

Row 6, (1,66,495,924,495,66,1), plays a role in expansions of powers of the Dedekind eta function. See the Chan link, p. 534, and A034839. - Tom Copeland, Dec 12 2016

Viewed as the generalized Riordan array (cosh(sqrt(y)), y) with respect to the sequence (2*n)! the column generating functions begin
1st col: cosh(sqrt(y)) = 1 + y/2! + y^2/4! + y^3/6! + y^4/8! + ....
2nd col: 1/2!*y*cosh(sqrt(y)) = y/2! + 6*y^2/4! + 15*y^3/6! + 28*y^4/8! + ....
3rd col: 1/4!*y^2*cosh(sqrt(y)) = y^2/4! + 15*y^3/6! + 70*y^4/8! + 210*y^5/10! + .... (End)
