These polynomials arise in the following setup. Suppose G and H are power series satisfying G + H = G*H = 1/x. Then G^n + H^n = (1/x^n)*L_n(-x).
Apart from signs, triangle of coefficients when 2*cos(nt) is expanded in terms of x = 2*cos(t). For example, 2*cos(2t) = x^2 - 2, 2*cos(3t) = x^3 - 3x and 2*cos(4t) = x^4 - 4x^2 + 2. - Anthony C Robin, Jun 02 2004
Triangle of coefficients of expansion of Z_{nk} in terms of Z_k.
Row n has 1 + floor(n/2) terms. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 25 2004
T(n,k) = number of k-matchings of the cycle C_n (n > 1). Example: T(6,2)=9 because the 2-matchings of the hexagon with edges a, b, c, d, e, f are ac, ad, ae, bd, be, bf, ce, cf and df. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 25 2004
An example for the first comment: G=c(x), H=1/(x*c(x)) with c(x) the o.g.f. Catalan numbers A000108: (x*c(x))^n + (1/c(x))^n = L(n,-x)= Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} T(n,k)*(-x)^k.
This triangle also supplies the absolute values of the coefficients in the multiplication formulas for the Lucas numbers A000032.
From L. Edson Jeffery, Mar 19 2011: (Start)
This sequence is related to rhombus substitution tilings. A signed version of it (see A132460), formed as a triangle with interlaced zeros extending each row to n terms, begins as
  {2}
  {1,  0}
  {1,  0, -2}
  {1,  0, -3,  0}
  {1,  0, -4,  0,  2}
  {1,  0, -5,  0,  5,  0}
  ....
For the n X n tridiagonal unit-primitive matrix G_(n,1) (n >= 2) (see the L. E. Jeffery link below), defined by
G_(n,1) =
  (0 1 0 ... 0)
  (1 0 1 0 ... 0)
  (0 1 0 1 0 ... 0)
  ...
  (0 ... 0 1 0 1)
  (0 ... 0 2 0),
Row n (i.e., {T(n,k)}, k=0..n) of the signed table gives the coefficients of its characteristic function: c_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^(n-k) = 0. For example, let n=3. Then
G_(3,1) =
  (0 1 0)
  (1 0 1)
  (0 2 0),
and row 3 of the table is {1,0,-3,0}. Hence c_3(x) = x^3 - 3*x = 0. G_(n,1) has n distinct eigenvalues (the solutions of c_n(x) = 0), given by w_j = 2*cos((2*j-1)*Pi/(2*n)), j=1..n. (End)
For n > 0, T(n,k) is the number of k-subsets of {1,2,...,n} which contain neither consecutive integers nor both 1 and n. Equivalently, T(n,k) is the number of k-subsets without neighbors of a set of n points on a circle. - José H. Nieto S., Jan 17 2012
With the first column omitted, this gives A157000. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 17 2013

This triangular array is composed of interleaved rows of reversed, unsigned A127677 (cf. A156308, A217476, A263916) and reversed A111125 (cf. A127672).
See also A113279 for another connection to symmetric and Faber polynomials.
The difference of consecutive rows gives the previous row shifted.

Apparently, with the rows aerated and then the 2s on the diagonal removed, this matrix becomes the reverse, or mirror, of unsigned A117179. See also A114525 - Tom Copeland, May 30 2017
Briggs's (1633) table with an additional column of 2s on the right can be used to generate this table. See p. 69 of the Newton reference. - Tom Copeland, Jun 03 2017
From Liam Solus, Aug 23 2018: (Start)
For n>3 and k>0, T(n,k) equals the number of Markov equivalence classes with skeleton the cycle on n nodes having exactly k immoralities. See Theorem 2.1 of the article by A. Radhakrishnan et al. below.
For n>2 odd and r = floor(n/2)-1, the n-th row is the coefficient vector of the Ehrhart h*-polynomial of the r-stable (n,2)-hypersimplex. See Theorem 4.14 in the article by B. Braun and L. Solus below.

Conjecture: If a(n) = H(a,b,c,d,n) is a second-order linear recurrence with constant coefficients defined as a(0) = a, a(1)= b, a(n) = c*a(n-1) + d*a(n-2) then a(m*n) = H(a, H(a,b,c,d,m), Sum_{k=0..floor(m/2)} T(m,k)*c^(m-2*k)*d^k, (-1)^(m+1)*d^m, n) (Wolfdieter Lang). - Gary Detlefs, Feb 06 2023
For the proof of the preceding conjecture see the Detlefs and Lang link. There also proofs for several properties of this table are found. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 25 2023

			I have seen two versions of these polynomials: One version begins L_0 = 2, L_1 = 1, L_2 = 1 + 2*x, L_3 = 1 + 3*x, L_4 = 1 + 4*x + 2*x^2, L_5 = 1 + 5*x + 5*x^2, L_6 = 1 + 6*x + 9*x^2 + 2*x^3, L_7 = 1 + 7*x + 14*x^2 + 7*x^3, L_8 = 1 + 8*x + 20*x^2 + 16*x^3 + 2*x^4, L_9 = 1 + 9*x + 27*x^2 + 30*x^3 + 9*x^4, ...
The other version (probably the more official one) begins L_0(x) = 2, L_1(x) = x, L_2(x) = 2 + x^2, L_3(x) = 3*x + x^3, L_4(x) = 2 + 4*x^2 + x^4, L_5(x) = 5*x + 5*x^3 + x^5, L_6(x) = 2 + 9*x^2 + 6*x^4 + x^6, L_7(x) = 7*x + 14*x^3 + 7*x^5 + x^7, L_8(x) = 2 + 16*x^2 + 20*x^4 + 8*x^6 + x^8, L_9(x) = 9*x + 30*x^3 + 27*x^5 + 9*x^7 + x^9.

From _Peter Bala_, Mar 20 2025: (Start)
Let S = x + y and M = -x*y. Then the triangle gives the coefficients when expressing the symmetric polynomial x^n + y^n as a polynomial in S and M. For example,
x^2 + y^2 = S^2 + 2*M; x^3 + y^3 = S^3 + 3*S*M; x^4 + y^4 = S^4 + 4*(S^2)*M + 2*M^2;
x^5 + y^5 = S^5 + 5*(S^3)*M + 5*S*M^2; x^6 + y^6 = S^6 + 6*(S^4)*M + 9*(S^2)*M^2 + 2*M^3. See Woko. In general x^n + y^n = 2*(-i)^n *(sqrt(M))^n * T(n, i*S/(2*sqrt(M))), where T(n, x) denotes the n-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. (End)

The coefficients of the Faber polynomials F(n,b(1),b(2),...,b(n)) (Bouali, p. 52) in the order of the partitions of Abramowitz and Stegun. Compare with A115131 and A210258.
These polynomials occur in discussions of the Virasoro algebra, univalent function spaces and the Schwarzian derivative, symmetric functions, and free probability theory. They are intimately related to symmetric functions, free probability, and Appell sequences through the raising operator R = x - d log(H(D))/dD for the Appell sequence inverse pair associated to the e.g.f.s H(t)e^(xt) (cf. A094587) and (1/H(t))e^(xt) with H(0)=1.
Instances of the Faber polynomials occur in discussions of modular invariants and modular functions in the papers by Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya, by Ono and Rolen, and by Zagier. - Tom Copeland, Aug 13 2019
The Faber polynomials, denoted by s_n(a(t)) where a(t) is a formal power series defined by a product formula, are implicitly defined by equation 13.4 on p. 62 of Hazewinkel so as to extract the power sums of the reciprocals of the zeros of a(t). This is the Newton identity expressing the power sum symmetric polynomials in terms of the elementary symmetric polynomials/functions. - Tom Copeland, Jun 06 2020

Since exp and log are a compositional inverse pair, one can extract the indeterminates of the log set of partition polynomials from the exp set and vice versa. For a discussion of the relations among these polynomials and the combinatorics of connected and disconnected graphs/maps, see Novak and LaCroix on classical moments and cumulants and the two books on statistical mechanics referenced in A036040.

F[0] = 1; F[1] = -b[1]; F[2] = b[1]^2 - 2 b[2]; F[n_] := F[n] = -b[1] F[n - 1] - Sum[b[n - k] F[k], {k, 1, n - 2}] - n b[n] // Expand;

-log(1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...) = Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) * x^n/n.
-d(1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...)/dx / (1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...) = Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) x^(n-1).
F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) = -n*b(n) - Sum_{k=1..n-1} b(n-k)*F(k,b(1),...,b(k)).
Umbrally, with B(x) = 1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ..., B(x) = exp[log(1-F.x)] and 1/B(x) = exp[-log(1-F.x)], establishing a connection to the e.g.f. of A036039 and the symmetric polynomials.
The Stirling partition polynomials of the first kind St1(n,b1,b2,...,bn;-1) = IF(n,b1,b2,...,bn) (cf. the Copeland link Lagrange a la Lah, signed A036039, and p. 184 of Airault and Bouali), i.e., the cyclic partition polynomials for the symmetric groups, and the Faber polynomials form an inverse pair for isolating the indeterminates in their definition, for example, F(3,IF(1,b1),IF(2,b1,b2)/2!,IF(3,b1,b2,b3)/3!)= b3, with bk = b(k), and IF(3,F(1,b1),F(2,b1,b2),F(3,b1,b2,b3))/3!= b3.
The polynomials specialize to F(n,t,t,...) = (1-t)^n - 1.
See Newton Identities on Wikipedia on relation between the power sum symmetric polynomials and the complete homogeneous and elementary symmetric polynomials for an expression in multinomials for the coefficients of the Faber polynomials.
(n-1)! F(n,x[1],x[2]/2!,...,x[n]/n!) = - p_n(x[1],...,x[n]), where p_n are the cumulants of A127671 expressed in terms of the moments x[n]. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2015
-(n-1)! F(n,B(1,x[1]),B(2,x[1],x[2])/2!,...,B(n,x[1],...,x[n])/n!) = x[n] provides an extraction of the indeterminates of the complete Bell partition polynomials B(n,x[1],...,x[n]) of A036040. Conversely, IF(n,-x[1],-x[2],-x[3]/2!,...,-x[n]/(n-1)!) = B(n,x[1],...,x[n]). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2015
For a square matrix M, determinant(I - x M) = exp[-Sum_{k>0} (trace(M^k) x^k / k)] = Sum_{n>0} [ P_n(-trace(M),-trace(M^2),...,-trace(M^n)) x^n/n! ] = 1 + Sum_{n>0} (d[n] x^n), where P_n(x[1],...,x[n]) are the cycle index partition polynomials of A036039 and d[n] = P_n(-trace(M),-trace(M^2),...,-trace(M^n)) / n!. Umbrally, det(I - x M)= exp[log(1 - b. x)] = exp[P.(-b_1,..,-b_n)x] = 1 / (1-d.x), where b_k = tr(M^k). Then F(n,d[1],...,d[n]) = tr[M^n]. - Tom Copeland, Dec 04 2015
Given f(x) = -log(g(x)) = -log(1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...) = Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) * x^n/n, action on u_n = F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) with A133932 gives the compositional inverse finv(x) of f(x), with F(1,b(1)) not equal to zero, and f(g(finv(x))) = f(e^(-x)). Note also that exp(f(x)) = 1 / g(x) = exp[Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) * x^n/n] implies relations among A036040, A133314, A036039, and the Faber polynomials. - Tom Copeland, Dec 16 2015
The Dress and Siebeneicher paper gives combinatorial interpretations and various relations that the Faber polynomials must satisfy for integral values of its arguments. E.g., Eqn. (1.2) p. 2 implies [2 * F(1,-1) + F(2,-1,b2) + F(4,-1,b2,b3,b4)]  mod(4) = 0. This equation implies that [F(n,b1,b2,...,bn)-(-b1)^n] mod(n) = 0 for n prime. - Tom Copeland, Feb 01 2016
With the elementary Schur polynomials S(n,a_1,a_2,...,a_n) = Lah(n,a_1,a_2,...,a_n) / n!, where Lah(n,...) are the refined Lah polynomials of A130561, F(n,S(1,a_1),S(2,a_1,a_2),...,S(n,a_1,...,a_n)) = -n * a_n since sum_{n > 0} a_n x^n = log[sum{n >= 0} S(n,a_1,...,a_n) x^n]. Conversely, S(n,-F(1,a_1),-F(2,a_1,a_2)/2,...,-F(n,a_1,...,a_n)/n) = a_n. - Tom Copeland, Sep 07 2016
See Corollary 3.1.3 on p. 38 of Ardila and Copeland's two MathOverflow links to relate the Faber polynomials, with arguments being the signed elementary symmetric polynomials, to the logarithm of determinants, traces of powers of an adjacency matrix, and number of walks on graphs. - Tom Copeland, Jan 02 2017
The umbral inverse polynomials IF appear on p. 19 of Konopelchenko as partial differential operators. - Tom Copeland, Nov 19 2018
