Row n of the matrix inverse (A124645) has g.f.: x^floor(n/2)*(1-x)^(n-floor(n/2)). - Paul D. Hanna, Jun 12 2005

Conjecture: Let N=2*n+1, with n > 2. Then T(n,k) (0 <= k <= n) gives the k-th coefficient in the characteristic function p_N(x)=0, of degree n in x, for the n X n tridiagonal unit-primitive matrix G_N (see [Jeffery]) of the form
  G_N=A_{N,1}=
  (0 1 0 ... 0)
  (1 0 1 0 ... 0)
  (0 1 0 1 0 ... 0)
  ...
  (0 ... 0 1 0 1)
  (0 ... 0 1 1),
with solutions phi_j = 2*cos((2*j-1)*Pi/N), j=1,2,...,n. For example, for n=3,
  G_7=A_{7,1}=
  (0 1 0)
  (1 0 1)
  (0 1 1).
We have {T(3,k)}=(1,-1,-2,1), while the characteristic function of G_7 is p(x) = x^3-x^2-2*x+1 = 0, with solutions phi_j = 2*cos((2*j-1)*Pi/7), j=1,2,3. (End)
The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link A108299 with several sequences, see the crossrefs. - Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 08 2011
The roots to the polynomials are chaotic using iterates of the operation (x^2 - 2), with cycle lengths L and initial seeds returning to the same term or (-1)* the seed. Periodic cycle lengths L are shown in A003558 such that for the polynomial represented by row r, the cycle length L is A003558(r-1). The matrices corresponding to the rows as characteristic polynomials are likewise chaotic [cf. Kappraff et al., 2005] with the same cycle lengths but substituting 2*I for the "2" in (x^2 - 2), where I = the Identity matrix. For example, the roots to x^3 - x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0 are 1.801937..., -1.246979..., and 0.445041... With 1.801937... as the initial seed and using (x^2 - 2), we obtain the 3-period trajectory of 8.801937... -> 1.246979... -> -0.445041... (returning to -1.801937...). We note that A003558(2) = 3. The corresponding matrix M is: [0,1,0; 1,0,1; 0,1,1,]. Using seed M with (x^2 - 2*I), we obtain the 3-period with the cycle completed at (-1)*M. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 07 2012

Columns of the array are generated from Fibonacci polynomials f(x). They are: (1), (x), (x^2 + 1), (x^3 + 2x), (x^4 + 3x^2 + 1), (x^5 + 4x^3 + 3x), (x^6 + 5x^4 + 6x^2 +1), ... If column headings start 0, 1, 2, ... then the terms in the n-th column are generated from the n-th degree Fibonacci polynomial. For example, column 5 (8, 70, 360, ...) is generated from f(x), x = 1,2,3,...; fifth-degree polynomial x^5 + 4x^3 + 3x; e.g., f(2) = 70 = 2^5 + 4*8 + 3*2. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 02 2006
The ratio of two consecutive entries of the sequence in the n-th row approaches (n + sqrt(n^2 + 4))/2. Example: The sequence beginning (1, 3, 10, 33, ...) tends to 3.302775... = (3 + sqrt(13))/2. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 12 2013
As to the array sequences, (n+1)-th sequence is the INVERT transform of the n-th sequence. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 20 2013
The array can be extended infinitely above the Fibonacci row by taking successive INVERTi transforms, resulting in:
  ...
  1,  -2,   5, -12,  29, -70, ...
  1,  -1,   2,  -3,   5,  -8, ...
  l,   0,   1,   0,   1,   0, ...
  1,   1,   2,   3,   5,   8, ...
  1,   2,   5,  12,  29,  70, ...
  ...
  This results in an infinite array in which sequences above the (1, 0, 1, 0, ...) are reflections of the sequences below, except for the alternate signs. Any sequence in the (+ sign) row starting (1, n, ...) is the (2*n-th) INVERT transform of the same sequence but with alternate signs.  Example: (1, 2, 5, 12, ...) is the (2*2) = fourth INVERT transform of (1, -2, 5, -12, ...) by inspection. Conjecture:  This "reflection" principle will result from taking successive INVERT transforms of any aerated sequence starting 1, ... and with positive signs. Likewise, the rows above the aerated sequence are successive INVERTi transforms of the aerated sequence. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 14 2019

If the two leading 0's are dropped, this becomes the essentially identical sequence A103221, with g.f. 1/((1-x^2)*(1-x^3)), which arises in many contexts. For example, 1/((1-x^4)*(1-x^6)) is the Poincaré series [or Poincare series] for modular forms of weight w for the full modular group. As generators one may take the Eisenstein series E_4 (A004009) and E_6 (A013973).
Dimension of the space of weight 2n+8 cusp forms for Gamma_0( 1 ).
Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cuspidal newforms for Gamma_0( 5 ).
a(n) is the number of ways n can be written as the sum of a positive even number and a nonnegative multiple of 3 and so the number of ways (n-2) can be written as the sum of a nonnegative even number and a nonnegative multiple of 3 and also the number of ways (n+3) can be written as the sum of a positive even number and a positive multiple of 3.
It appears that this is also the number of partitions of 2n+6 that are 4-term arithmetic progressions. - John W. Layman, May 01 2009 [verified by Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 17 2021]
a(n) is the number of (n+3)-digit fixed points under the base-3 Kaprekar map A164993 (see A164997 for the list of fixed points). - Joseph Myers, Sep 04 2009
Starting from n=10 also the number of balls in new consecutive hexagonal edges, if an (infinite) chain of balls is winded spirally around the first ball at the center, such that each six steps make an entire winding. - K. G. Stier, Dec 21 2012
In any three consecutive terms at least two of them are equal to each other. - Michael Somos, Mar 01 2014
Number of partitions of (n-2) into parts 2 and 3. - David Neil McGrath, Sep 05 2014
a(n), n >= 0, is also the dimension of S_{2*(n+4)}, the complex vector space of modular cusp forms of weight 2*(n+4) and level 1 (full modular group). The dimension of S_0, S_2, S_4 and S_6 is 0. See, e.g., Ash and Gross, p. 178. Table 13.1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 16 2016
From Wolfdieter Lang, May 08 2017: (Start)
a(n-2) = floor((n-2)/2) - floor((n-2)/3) = floor(n/2) - floor((n+1)/3) is for n >=0 the number of integers k in the interval (n+1)/3 < k <= floor(n/2). This problem appears in the computation of the number of zeros of Chebyshev S(n, x) polynomials (coefficients in A049310) in the open interval (-1, +1). See a comment there. This computation was motivated by a conjecture given in A008611 by Michel Lagneau, Mar 31 2017.
a(n) is also the number of integers k in the closed interval (n+1)/3 <= k <= floor(n/2), which is floor(n/2) - (ceiling((n+1)/3) - 1) for n >= 0 (proof trivial for n+1 == 0 (mod 3) and otherwise). From the preceding statement this a(n) is also a(n-2) + [n == 2 (mod 3)] for n >= 0 (with [statement] = 1 if the statement is true and zero otherwise). This proves the recurrence given by Michael Somos in the formula section. (End)
Assuming the Collatz conjecture to be true, for n > 1, a(n+7) is the row length of the n-th row of A340985. That is, the number of weakly connected components of the Collatz digraph of order n. - Sebastian Karlsson, Feb 23 2021
