Comments

Column 1: Fibonacci numbers, F(m), for m >= -1, as in A000045. For n >= 0, the n-th row sum = F(2n), as in A001906.
Conjecture: The odd degree polynomials are irreducible; the even degree (= 2k) polynomials have exactly two irreducible factors, each of degree k.

Examples

			First 7 rows:
1    -1
0     2   -1
1     0    3   -1
1     4    0    4   -1
2     5    0   10    5   -1
3    12   15   20    0    6   -1
5    21   42   35   35    0    7   -1
First 7 polynomials:
1 - x
2 x - x^2
1 + 3 x^2 - x^3
1 + 4 x + 4 x^3 - x^4
2 + 5 x + 10 x^2 + 5 x^4 - x^5
3 + 12 x + 15 x^2 + 20 x^3 + 6 x^5 - x^6
5 + 21 x + 42 x^2 + 35 x^3 + 35 x^4 + 7 x^6 - x^7
Factorizations of even-degree polynomials:
degree 2:  (2 - x)*x
degree 4:  (1 + x^2)*(1 + 4x - x^2)
degree 6:  (1 + 3x + x^3)*(3 + 3x + 6x^2 - x^3)
degree 8:  (2 + 4x + 6x^2 + x^4)*(4 + 12 x + 6x^2 + 8x^3 - x^4)
degree 10: (3 + 10 x + 10 x^2 + 10 x^3 + x^5)*(7 + 20 x + 30 x^2 + 10 x^3 + 10 x^4 - x^5)
It appears that the constant terms of the factors are Fibonacci numbers (A000045) and Lucas numbers (A000032).

Comments

Let p(n) denote the polynomial (1/n!)*(numerator of n-th derivative of (1-x)/(1-x-x^2)). It is conjectured in A326925 that if n = 2k, then p(n) = f(k)*g(k), where f(k) and g(k) are polynomials of degree k. Row k of the present array shows the coefficients of f(k).
It appears that, after the first term, column 1 consists of the Fibonacci numbers, F(k), for k >= 1; see A000045. It appears that after the first row, the row sums are F(2k+1), and the alternating row sums are (-1)^k F(k).

Examples

			First nine rows:
.
  -2,   1;  (coefficients of -2 + x)
   1,   0,   1;  (coefficients of 1 + x^2)
   1,   3,   0,   1;
