%N A260492 Pascal's triangle aerated with columns of zeros.
%C A260492 To obtain this array we take Pascal's triangle A007318 and insert a column of zeros at columns 1, 3, 5, .... Thus the n-th row of this array gives the coefficients in the expansion of (1 + x^2)^n.
%C A260492 The transpose of this array is a generalized Riordan array (1, 1 + x^2) as defined by Wilson in 2005 (see the Bala link for details). Note that these are not the same as the generalized Riordan arrays introduced by Wang and Wang in 2008.
%C A260492 Call this array C and let p(x) = 1 + x^2. Then C^2 gives the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomials ( p(p(x)) )^n, C^3 gives the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomials ( p(p(p(x))) )^n and so on.
%C A260492 See A204293 for Pascal's triangle aerated by both row and columns.
%C A260492 The triangle is read by rows of lengths equal to the odd numbers 2*n + 1 = A005408(n), n >= 0; although it is then (from the 3rd line of comments & formula on) considered as an infinite square matrix C, the upper right being filled with zeros. - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 19 2015

%F A260492 O.g.f.: 1/(1 - (1 + x^2)*t) = 1 + (1 + x^2)*t + (1 + 2*x^2 + x^4)*t^2 + ....
%F A260492 Let C denote this array.
%F A260492 Row sums of C = 2^n; Row sums of C^2 = 5^n; Row sums of C^3 = 26^n; Row of sums C^4 = 677^n. In general the row sums of C^m = A003095(m)^n.
%F A260492 First column of C^2 = 2^n; first column of C^3 = 5^n, first column of C^4 = 26^n and so on.
%F A260492 Let P denote Pascal's triangle A007318. Then C * transpose(C) = P * transpose(P) = the square symmetric Pascal matrix.
%F A260492 For n >= 0, (P^n)*C is the array P^(n+1) aerated by columns.
%F A260492 First column of P*C = 2^n; first column of (P*C)^2 = 6^n; first column of (P*C)^3 = 38^n, and so on, where [2, 6, 38, ...] is A072191.
%F A260492 Let R equal Pascal's triangle aerated with rows of zeros. Then C*R = P^2.
%F A260492 R*P*C is P^3 aerated by both rows and columns
%F A260492 Conjecturally, the limit of R^n * C^n as n -> oo has as its first column an aerated version of A027826, with zeros elsewhere in the array.
%F A260492 Aeration by rows/columns amounts to multiplication to the left/right by the identity matrix aerated by rows/column: R = J*P, C = P*J'. This makes obvious that P^n*C = P^(n+1)*J', R*P^n = J*P^(n+1), R*P^n*C = J*P^(n+2)*J' (aerated by both rows and columns). - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 19 2015
