Inverse binomial transform of A030191. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 04 2005
General recurrence is a(n) = (a(1)-1)*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(1) >= 4, lim_{n->infinity} a(n) =  x*(k*x+1)^n, k =(a(1)-3), x=(1+sqrt((a(1)+1)/(a(1)-3)))/2. Examples in OEIS: a(1)=4 gives A002878. a(1)=5 gives A001834. a(1)=6 gives A030221. a(1)=7 gives A002315. a(1)=8 gives A033890. a(1)=9 gives A057080. a(1)=10 gives A057081. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Sep 02 2008
Let r = (2n+1), then a(n), n>0 = Product_{k=1..floor((r-1)/2)} (1 + sin^2 k*Pi/r); e.g., a(3) = 29 = (3.4450418679...)*(4.801937735...)*(1.753020396...). - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 26 2008

a(n-1) and a(n) are the least phi-antipalindromic numbers (A178482) with 2*n and 2*n+1 digits in base phi, respectively. - Amiram Eldar, Jul 07 2021
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 aerated sequence (b(n))n>=1 = [1, 0, 4, 0, 11, 0, 29, 0, ...] is a fourth-order linear divisibility sequence; that is, if n | m then b(n) | b(m). It is the case P1 = 0, P2 = -1, Q = -1 of the 3-parameter family of divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy.
b(n) = (1/2)*((-1)^n - 1)*F(n) + (1 + (-1)^(n-1))*F(n+1), where F(n) is a Fibonacci number. The o.g.f. is x*(1 + x^2)/(1 - 3*x^2 + x^4).

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)

((-1)^n)*a(n) = X(n) = (-1)^n*(S(n, 4) + S(n-1, 4)) and Y(n) = X(n-1) gives all integer solutions (modulo sign flip between X and Y) of X^2 + Y^2 + 4*X*Y = +6, for n = -oo..+oo, with Chebyshev S polynomials (see A049310), with S(-1, x) = 0, and S(-|n|, x) = - S(|n|-2, x), for |n| >= 2.
This binary indefinite quadratic form of discriminant 12, representing 6, has only this family of proper solutions (modulo sign flip), and no improper ones.

T(n,k) is also the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of 2*n+1 into 2*k+1 parts which are all odd. Proof: The o.g.f. of column k, x^k/(1-x)^(2*k+1) for k >= 0, is the o.g.f. of the odd-indexed members of the sequence with o.g.f. (x/(1-x^2))^(2*k+1) (bisection, odd part). Thus T(n,k) is obtained from the sum of the multinomial numbers A048996 for the partitions of 2*n+1 into 2*k+1 parts, all of which are odd. E.g., T(3,1) = 3 + 3 from the numbers for the partitions [1,1,5] and [1,3,3], namely 3!/(2!*1!) and 3!/(1!*2!), respectively. The number triangle with the number of these partitions as entries is A152157. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 09 2012

For example, for n = 4, (1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/(2*sqrt(1 + 4*x)) * ((1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x))/2)^8 = (x^4  + 10*x^3 + 15*x^2 + 7*x + 1) + O(x^5). - Peter Bala, Feb 23 2018

It appears that the largest root of the n-th degree polynomial is equal to the sum of the distinct diagonals of a (2*n+1)-gon including the edge, 1. The largest root of x^3 - 6*x^2 + 5*x - 1 is 5.048917... = the sum of (1 + 1.80193... + 2.24697...). Alternatively, the largest root of the n-th degree polynomial is equal to the square of sigma(2*n+1). Check: 5.048917... is the square of sigma(7), 2.24697.... Given N = 2*n+1, sigma(N) (N odd) can be defined as 1/(2*sin(Pi/(2*N))). Relating to the 9-gon, the largest root of x^4 - 10*x^3 + 15*x^2 - 7*x + 1 is 8.290859..., = the sum of (1 + 1.879385... + 2.532088... + 2.879385...), and is the square of sigma(9), 2.879385...

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).

s(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..n} T(n,m)*x^m are monic polynomials satisfying s(n,x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*s(k,x)*p(n-k,y), with polynomials p(n,x) = Sum_{m=1..n} A048786(n,m)*x^m (row polynomials of triangle A048786) and p(0,x)=1.
In the umbral calculus (see the Roman reference, p. 21) the s(n,x) are called Sheffer polynomials for(1/sqrt(1+4*t),t/(1+4*t)). Here the Sheffer notation differs. See the W. Lang link under A006232.
For the general L[d,a] triangles see A286724, also for references.
This is the generalized signless Lah number triangle L[4,1], the Sheffer triangle ((1 - 4*t)^(-1/2), t/(1 - 4*t)). It is defined as transition matrix
risefac[4,1](x, n) = Sum_{m=0..n} L[4,1](n, m)*fallfac[4,1](x, m), where risefac[4,1](x, n) := Product_{0..n-1} (x  + (1 + 4*j)) for n >= 1 and risefac[4,1](x, 0) := 1, and  fallfac[4,1](x, n) := Product_{0..n-1} (x - (1 + 4*j)) for n >= 1 and fallfac[4,1](x, 0) := 1.
In matrix notation: L[4,1] = S1phat[4,1]*S2hat[4,1] with the unsigned scaled Stirling1 and the scaled Stirling2 generalizations A290319 and A111578 (but here with offsets 0), respectively.
The a- and z-sequences for this Sheffer matrix have e.g.f.s Ea(t) = 1 + 4*t and Ez(t) = (1 + 4*t)*(1 - (1 + 4*t)^(-1/2))/t, respectively. That is, a = {1, 4, repeat(0)} and z(n) = 2*A292220(n). See the W. Lang link on a- and z-sequences there.
The inverse matrix T^(-1) = L^(-1)[4,1] is Sheffer ((1 + 4*t)^(-1/2), t/(1 + 4*t)). This means that T^(-1)(n, m) = (-1)^(n-m)*T(n, m).
fallfac[4,1](x, n) = Sum_{m=0..n} (-1)^(n-m)*T(n, m)*risefac[4,1](x, m), n >= 0.
Diagonal sequences have o.g.f. G(d, x) = A001813(d)*Sum_{m=0..d} A091042(d, m)*x^m/(1 - x)^{2*d + 1}, for d >= 0 (d=0 main diagonal). G(d, x) generates {A001813(d)*binomial(2*(n + d),2*d)}{n >= 0}.

a(n,m) has the following interesting combinatoric interpretation. Let s(n,m) equal the set of all base-4, n-digit numbers with n-m more 1-digits than 2-digits. For example s(2,1) = {10,01,13,31} (note that numbers like 1 are left-padded with 0's to ensure that they have 2 digits). Notice that #s(2,1) = a(2,1) with # indicating cardinality. This is true in general. a(n,m)=#s(n,m). In words, a(n,m) gives the number of n-digit, base-4 numbers with n-m more 1 digits than 2 digits. A proof is provided in the Links section. - Russell Jay Hendel, Jun 23 2015

The n-th diagonal has elements binomial(2n+1+k,k), starting with k=0 for the first non-vanishing element, with o.g.f. (1-x)^(-2(n+1)). The first few subdiagonals are shifted versions of A000292, A000389, and A000580. Cf. A049310.
See A034867 for the matrix representation for the infinitesimal generator K(x,t) d/dx for the Narayana polynomials. (End)

Let S(k,n) = Sum_{i = 1..n} i^k. Calculations in Zielinski 2016 suggest the following identity holds involving the p-th row elements of this triangle:
Sum_{k = 0..p} T(p,k)*S(2*k + 1,n) = (n*(n + 1)/2)^(p+1).
For example, for row 6 we find S(7,n) + 21*S(9,n) + 35*S(11,n) + 7*S(13,n) = (n*(n + 1)/2)^7.
There appears to be a similar result for the even power sums S(2*k,n) involving A207543. (End)

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);
