Let b(n,x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n+k,2*k)*x^k denote the Morgan-Voyce polynomials of A085478. This triangle lists the coefficients (in ascending powers of x) of the related polynomial sequence R(n,x) := (1/2)*b(n,2*x) + 1/2. Several sequences already in the database are of the form (R(n,x))n>=0 for a fixed value of x. These include A101265 (x = 1), A011900 (x = 2), A182432 (x = 3), A054318 (x = 4) as well as signed versions of A133872 (x = -1), A109613(x = -2), A146983 (x = -3) and A084159 (x = -4).

The polynomials R(n,x) factorize in the ring Z[x] as R(n,x) = P(n,x)*P(n+1,x) for n >= 1: explicitly, P(2*n,x) = 1/2*(b(2*n,2*x) + 1)/b(n,2*x) and P(2*n+1,x) = b(n,2*x). The coefficients of P(n,x) occur in several tables in the database, although without the connection to the Morgan-Voyce polynomials being noted - see A211956 for more details. In terms of T(n,x), the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind, we have P(2*n,x) = T(2*n,u) and P(2*n+1,x) = 1/u * T(2*n+1,u), where u = sqrt((x+2)/2). Hence R(n,x) = 1/u * T(n,u) * T(n+1,u).

Formula

T(n,0) = 1; T(n,k) = 2^(k-1)*binomial(n+k,2*k) for k > 0.

O.g.f. for column k (except column 0): 2^(k-1)*x^k/(1-x)^(2*k+1).

O.g.f.: (1-t*(x+2)+t^2)/((1-t)*(1-2*t(x+1)+t^2)) = 1 + (1+x)*t + (1+3*x+2*x^2)*t^2 + ....

Removing the first column from the triangle produces the Riordan array (x/(1-x)^3, 2*x/(1-x)^2).

The row polynomials R(n,x) := 1/2*b(n,2*x) + 1/2 = 1 + x*Sum_{k = 1..n} binomial(n+k,2*k)*(2*x)^(k-1).

Recurrence equation: R(n,x) = 2*(1+x)*R(n-1,x) - R(n-2,x) - x with initial conditions R(0,x) = 1, R(1,x) = 1+x.

Another recurrence is R(n,x)*R(n-2,x) = R(n-1,x)*(R(n-1,x) + x).

With P(n,x) as defined in the Comments section we have (x+2)/x - {Sum_{k = 0..2n} 1/R(k,x)}^2 = 2/(x*P(2*n+1,x)^2); (x+2)/x - {Sum_{k = 0..2n+1} 1/R(k,x)}^2 = (x+2)/(x*P(2*n+2,x)^2); consequently Sum_{k >= 0} 1/R(k,x) = sqrt((x+2)/x) for either x > 0 or x <= -2.

Row sums R(n,1) = A101265(n+1); Alt. row sums R(n,-1) = A133872(n+1);

R(n,2) = A011900(n); R(n,-2) = (-1)^n * A109613(n); R(n,3) = A182432;

R(n,-3) = (-1)^n * A146983(n); R(n,4) = A054318(n+1); R(n,-4) = (-1)^n * A084159(n).
