Comments

From a problem in A269254. For detailed theory, see [Hone].

From Charles L. Hohn, Sep 28 2024: (Start)

For rows n >= 3, values x >= 3 where (x^2-4)/(n^2-4) is a square.

For rows n >= 3, Lim_{k->oo}(T(n, k+1)/T(n, k)) = (sqrt(n^2-4)+n)/2. (End)

Programs

Mathematica

t[n_, 0] := 2; t[n_, 1] := n; t[n_, k_] := n*t[n, k - 1] - t[n, k - 2]; Table[t[n, k], {n, 10}, {k, 10}] // Grid

Formula

A(n,k) = T_k(n), n >= 1, k >= 1, where T_j(x) = x*T_{j-1}(x) - T_{j-2}(x), j >= 2, T_0(x) = 2, T_1(x) = x, (dilated Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind).
