Comments

The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are defined by the recurrence relation: U(0,x) = 1; U(1,x) = 2x; U(n+1,x) = 2x*U(n,x) - U(n-1,x).

From Gary W. Adamson, Nov 28 2008: (Start)

Triangle read by rows, unsigned = A000012 * A028297.

Row sums of absolute values give the Pell series, A000129.

(End)

The row sums are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, ...}.

Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (0, -1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 27 2011

Coefficients in the expansion of sin((n+1)*x)/sin(x) in descending powers of cos(x). The length of the n-th row is A008619(n). - Jianing Song, Nov 02 2018

Programs

Mathematica

t[n_, m_] = (-1)^m*Binomial[n - m, m]*2^(n - 2*m);
Table[Table[t[n, m], {m, 0, Floor[n/2]}], {n, 0, 10}];
Flatten[%] (* Roger L. Bagula, Dec 19 2008 *)

Formula

A generating function for U(n) is 1/(1 - 2tx + t^2). Given A038207, shift down columns to allow for (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ...) terms in each row, then insert alternate signs.

T(n,m) = (-1)^m*binomial(n - m, m)*2^(n - 2*m). - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson, Dec 19 2008

From Tom Copeland, Feb 11 2016: (Start)

Shifted o.g.f.: G(x,t) = x/(1 - 2x + tx^2).

A053117 is a reflected, aerated version of this entry; A207538, an unsigned version; and A099089, a reflected, shifted version.

The compositional inverse of G(x,t) is Ginv(x,t) = ((1 + 2x) - sqrt((1 + 2x)^2 - 4tx^2))/(2tx) = x - 2x^2 + (4 + t)x^3 - (8 + 6t)x^4 + ..., a shifted o.g.f. for A091894 (mod signs with A091894(0,0) = 0.). Cf. A097610 with h_1 = -2 and h_2 = t. (End)
