Conjecture 1. If n>1 is even then F(n,x) has no real roots.

Conjecture 2. If n>0 is odd then F(n,x) has exactly one real root, r,

and if n>4 then 0 < -r < n.

Conjectures 1 and 2 are true. [From Alain Thiery (Alain.Thiery(AT)math.u-bordeaux1.fr), May 14 2010]

Cayley (1876) states "We, in fact, find 1 + sin u = 1 + x, 1 - sin 3u = (1 + x)(1 - 2x)^2, 1 + sin 5u = (1 + x)(1 + 2x - 4x^2)^2, 1 - sin 7u = (1 + x)(1 - 4x - 4x^2 + 8x^3)^2, &c.". - Michael Somos, Jun 19 2012

Appears to be the unsigned row reverse of A180870 and A228565. - Peter Bala, Feb 17 2014

From Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 29 2014: (Start)

This triangle is the Riordan triangle ((1+z)/(1-z^2), 2*z/(1-z^2)). For Riordan triangles see the W. Lang link 'Sheffer a-and z-sequences' under A006232, also for references. The o.g.f. given by Peter Bala in the formula section refers to the row reversed triangle. The usual information on this triangle, like o.g.f. for the columns, the row sums, the alternating row sums, the recurrences using A- and Z-sequences, etc. follows from this Riordan property. The Riordan proof follows from the given o.g.f. by Peter Bala, call it Grev(x,z), by row reversion: G(x,z) = Grev(1/x,x*z) = (1+z)/(1- 2*x*z - z^2) = G(z)*(1/(1 - x*F(z))) with G(z) = (1+z)/(1-z^2) and F(z) = z*2/(1-z^2). See A244419 for the discussion for a signed version of this triangle.

Formula

Count the top row as row 0 and let C(n,k) denote the usual binomial

coefficient. For row 2n, define p(0)=C(n,0), p(1)=C(n,1), p(2)=C(n+1,2),

p(3)=C(n+1,3), p(4)=C(n+2,4), p(5)=c(n+2,5),..., until reaching two final

1's: p(2n-1)=C(2n-1,2n-1) and p(2n)=C(2n,2n). Then the k-th number in row

2n is p(k)*2^k. For row 2n+1, define q(0)=C(n,0), q(1)=C(n+1,1),

q(2)=C(n+1,2), q(3)=C(n+2,3),..., until reaching q(2n+1)=C(2n+1,2n+1).

Then the k-th number in row 2n+1 is q(k)*2^k.

Working with an offset of 0, the o.g.f. is (1 + x*z)/(1 - 2*z - x^2*z^2) = 1 + (x + 2)*z + (x^2 + 2*x + 4)*z^2 + ....

Recurrence equation: T(n,k) = 2*T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-2,k-2) with T(n,0) = 1.

The polynomials G(n,x) defined by G(0,x) = 1 and G(n,x) = x*F(n-1,x) for n >= 1 satisfy G(n,x) = (x + 1)*G(n-1,x) - G(n-1,-x). Cf. A140070 and A140071. (End)
