The elements of the matrix inverse are apparently given by T^(-1)(n,k) = (-1)^(n+k)*A086645(n,k). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 14 2013
Let E(y) = Sum_{n >= 0} y^n/(2*n)! = cosh(sqrt(y)). Then this triangle is the generalized Riordan array (1/E(-y), y) with respect to the sequence (2*n)! as defined in Wang and Wang. - Peter Bala, Aug 06 2013
Let P_n be the poset of even size subsets of [2n] ordered by inclusion. Then Sum_{k=0..n}(-1)^(n-k)*T(n,k)*x^k is the characteristic polynomial of P_n. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 24 2021

Formula

cosh(u*t)/cos(t) = Sum_{n>=0} S_2n(u)*(t^(2*n))*(1/(2*n)!). S_2n(u) = Sum_{k>=0} T(n,k)*u^(2*k). Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*T(n,k) = 0. Sum_{k>=0} T(n,k) = 2^n*A005647(n); A005647: Salie numbers.
Triangle T(n,k) read by rows; given by [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, ...] DELTA [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938.
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*T(n,k)*4^(n-k) = A000281(n). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 26 2004
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*(-4)^k*9^(n-k) = A002438(n+1). - Philippe Deléham, Aug 26 2005
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*9^(n-k)*T(n,k) = A000436(n). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 27 2006
From Peter Bala, Aug 06 2013: (Start)
Let E(y) = Sum_{n >= 0} y^n/(2*n)! = cosh(sqrt(y)). Generating function: E(x*y)/E(-y) = 1 + (1 + x)*y/2! + (5 + 6*x + x^2)*y^2/4! + (61 + 75*x + 15*x^2 + x^3)*y^3/6! + .... The n-th power of this array has a generating function E(x*y)/E(-y)^n. In particular, the matrix inverse is a signed version of A086645 with a generating function E(-y)*E(x*y).
Recurrence equation for the row polynomials: R(n,x) = x^n - Sum_{k = 0..n-1} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(2*n,2*k)*R(k,x) with initial value R(0,x) = 1.
It appears that for arbitrary complex x we have lim_{n -> infinity} R(n,-x^2)/R(n,0) = cos(x*Pi/2). A stronger result than pointwise convergence may hold: the convergence may be uniform on compact subsets of the complex plane. This would explain the observation that the real zeros of the polynomials R(n,-x) seem to converge to the odd squares 1, 9, 25, ... as n increases. Some numerical examples are given below. Cf. A055133, A091042 and A103364.
R(n,-1) = 0; R(n,-9) = (-1)^n*2*4^n; R(n,-25) = (-1)^n*2*(16^n - 4^n);
R(n,-49) = (-1)^n*2*(36^n - 16^n + 4^n). (End)
