The row polynomials R(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m have been called Chebyshev C_n(x) polynomials in the Abramowitz-Stegun handbook, p. 778, 22.5.11 (see A049310 for the reference, and note that on p. 774 the S and C polynomials have been mixed up in older printings). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 03 2011
This is a signed version of triangle A114525.
The unsigned column sequences (without zeros) are, for m=1..11: A005408, A000290, A000330, A002415, A005585, A040977, A050486, A053347, A054333, A054334, A057788.
The row polynomials R(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x*m, give for n=2,3,...,floor(N/2) the positive zeros of the Chebyshev S(N-1,x)-polynomial (see A049310) in terms of its largest zero rho(N):= 2*cos(Pi/N) by putting x=rho(N). The order of the positive zeros is falling: n=1 corresponds to the largest zero rho(N) and n=floor(N/2) to the smallest positive zero. Example N=5: rho(5)=phi (golden section), R(2,phi)= phi^2-2 = phi-1, the second largest (and smallest) positive zero of S(4,x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 01 2010
The row polynomial R(n,x), for n >= 1, factorizes into minimal polynomials of 2*cos(Pi/k), called C(k,x), with coefficients given in A187360, as follows.
  R(n,x) = Product_{d|oddpart(n)} C(2*n/d,x)
         = Product_{d|oddpart(n)} C(2^(k+1)*d,x),
  with oddpart(n)=A000265(n), and 2^k is the largest power of 2 dividing n, where k=0,1,2,...
(Proof: R and C are monic, the degree on both sides coincides, and the zeros of R(n,x) appear all on the r.h.s.) - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 31 2011 [Theorem 1B, eq. (43) in the W. Lang link. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 13 2018]
The zeros of the row polynomials R(n,x) are 2*cos(Pi*(2*k+1)/(2*n)), k=0,1, ..., n-1; n>=1 (from those of the Chebyshev T-polynomials). - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 17 2011
The discriminants of the row polynomials R(n,x) are found under A193678. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 27 2011
The determinant of the N X N matrix M(N) with entries M(N;n,m) = R(m-1,x[n]), 1 <= n,m <= N, N>=1, and any x[n], is identical with twice the Vandermondian Det(V(N)) with matrix entries V(N;n,m) = x[n]^(m-1). This is an instance of the general theorem given in the Vein-Dale reference on p. 59. Note that R(0,x) = 2 (not 1). See also the comments from Aug 26 2013 under A049310 and from Aug 27 2013 under A000178. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 27 2013
This triangle a(n,m) is also used to express in the regular (2*(n+1))-gon, inscribed in a circle of radius R, the length ratio side/R, called s(2*(n+1)), as a polynomial in rho(2*(n+1)), the length ratio (smallest diagonal)/side. See the bisections ((-1)^(k-s))*A111125(k,s) and A127677 for comments and examples. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 05 2013

These are the characteristic polynomials a_n(x) = 2*T_n(x/2) for the adjacency matrix of the Coxeter simple Lie algebra B_n, related to the Cheybshev polynomials of the first kind, T_n(x) = cos(n*q) with x = cos(q) (see p. 20 of Damianou). Given the polynomial (x - t)*(x - 1/t) = 1 - (t + 1/t)*x + x^2 = e2 - e1*x + x^2, the symmetric power sums p_n(t,1/t) = t^n + t^(-n) of the zeros of this polynomial may be expressed in terms of the elementary symmetric polynomials e1 = t + 1/t = y and e2 = t*1/t = 1 as p_n(t,1/t) = a_n(y) = F(n,-y,1,0,0,...), where F(n,b1,b2,...,bn) are the Faber polynomials of A263916.
The partial sum of the first n+1 rows given t and y = t + 1/t is PS(n,t) = Sum_{k=0..n} a_n(y) = (t^(n/2) + t^(-n/2))*(t^((n+1)/2) - t^(-(n+1)/2)) / (t^(1/2) - t^(-1/2)). (For n prime, this is related simply to the cyclotomic polynomials.)
Then a_n(y) = PS(n,t) - PS(n-1,t), and for t = e^(iq), y = 2*cos(q), and, therefore, a_n(2*cos(q)) = PS(n,e^(iq)) - PS(n-1,e^(iq)) = 2*cos(nq) = 2*T_n(cos(q)) with PS(n,e^(iq)) = 2*cos(nq/2)*sin((n+1)q/2) / sin(q/2).

R(45, x) is the famous polynomial used by Adriaan van Roomen (Adrianus Romanus) in his Ideae mathematicae from 1593 to pose four problems, solved by Viète. See, e.g., the Havil reference, pp. 69-74. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 28 2018
From Wolfdieter Lang, May 05 2018: (Start)
Some identities for the row polynomials R(n, x) following from the known ones for Chebyshev T-polynomials (A053120) are:
(1) R(-n, x) = R(n, x).
(2) R(n*m, x) = R(n, R(m, x)) = R(m, R(n, x)).
(3) R(2*k+1, x) = (-1)^k*x*S(2*k, sqrt(4-x^2)), k >= 0, with the S row polynomials of A049310.
(4) R(2*k, x) = R(k, x^2-2), k >= 0.
(End)
For y = z^n + z^(-n) and x = z + z^(-1), Hirzebruch notes that y(z) = R(n,x) for the row polynomial of this entry. - Tom Copeland, Nov 09 2019

For any two consecutive terms (a(n), a(n+1)) = (x,y): x^2 - 4xy + y^2 = -2 = A028872(-1). In general, the following applies to all sequences (t) satisfying t(i) = 4t(i-1) - t(i-2) with t(0) = 1 and two consecutive terms (x,y): x^2 - 4xy + y^2 = A028872(t(1)-2). This includes and interprets the Feb 04 2014 comments here and on A001075 by Colin Barker and the Dec 12 2012 comment on A001353 by Max Alekseyev. By analogy to this, for three consecutive terms (x,y,z) y^2 - xz = A028872(t(1)-2). This includes and interprets the Jul 10 2021 comment on A001353 by Bernd Mulansky.
If (t) is a sequence satisfying t(k) = 3t(k-1) + 3t(k-2) - t(k-3) or t(k) = 4t(k-1) - t(k-2) without regard to initial values and including this sequence itself, then a(n) = (t(k+2n+1) + t(k))/(t(k+n+1) + t(k+n)) always applies, as long as t(k+n+1) + t(k+n) != 0 for integer k and n >= 1. (End)

Dropping the first term and changing the boundary conditions to T(n,1)=n, T(n,n-1)=2 (n>=2), T(n,n)=1 yields the number of nonterminal symbols (which generate strings of length k) in a certain context-free grammar in Chomsky normal form that generates all permutations of n symbols. Summation over k (1<=k<=n) results in A003945. For the number of productions of this grammar: see A090327. Example: 1; 2, 1; 3, 2, 1; 4, 5, 2, 1; 5, 9, 7, 2, 1; 6, 14, 16, 9, 2, 1; In addition to the example of A090327 we have T(3,3)=#{S}=1, T(3,2)=#{D,E}=2 and T(3,1)=#{A,B,C}=3. - Peter R. J. Asveld, Jan 29 2004
Much as the original Pascal triangle gives the Fibonacci numbers as sums of its diagonals, this triangle gives the Lucas numbers (A000032) as sums of its diagonals; see Posamentier & Lehmann (2007). - Alonso del Arte, Apr 09 2012
For a closed-form formula for generalized Pascal's triangle see A228576. - Boris Putievskiy, Sep 04 2013
It appears that for the infinite set of (1,N) Pascal's triangles, the binomial transform of the n-th row (n>0), followed by zeros, is equal to the n-th partial sum of (1, N, N, N, ...). Example: for the (1,2) Pascal's triangle, the binomial transform of the second row followed by zeros, i.e., of (1, 3, 2, 0, 0, 0, ...), is equal to the second partial sum of (1, 2, 2, 2, ...) = (1, 4, 9, 16, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 11 2015
Given any (1,N) Pascal triangle, let the binomial transform of the n-th row (n>1) followed by zeros be Q(x). It appears that the binomial transform of the (n-1)-th row prefaced by a zero is Q(n-1). Example: In the (1,2) Pascal triangle the binomial transform of row 3: (1, 4, 5, 2, 0, 0, 0, ...) is A000330 starting with 1: (1, 5, 14, 30, 55, 91, ...). The binomial transform of row 2 prefaced by a zero and followed by zeros, i.e., of (0, 1, 3, 2, 0, 0, 0, ...) is (0, 1, 5, 14, 30, 55, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 28 2015
It appears that in the array accompanying each (1,N) Pascal triangle (diagonals of the triangle), the binomial transform of (..., 1, N, 0, 0, 0, ...) preceded by (n-1) zeros generates the n-th row of the array (n>0). Then delete the zeros in the result. Example: in the (1,2) Pascal triangle, row 3 (1, 5, 14, 30, ...) is the binomial transform of (0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, ...) with the resulting zeros deleted. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 11 2015
Read as a square array (similar to the Example section Sq(m,j), but with Sq(0,0)=0 and Sq(m,j)=P(m+1,j) otherwise), P(n,k) are the multiplicities of the eigenvalues, lambda_n = n(n+k-1), of the Laplacians on the unit k-hypersphere, given by Teo (and Choi) as P(n,k) = (2n-k+1)(n+k-2)!/(n!(k-1)!). P(n,k) is also the numerator of a Dirichlet series for the Minakashisundarum-Pleijel zeta function for the sphere. Also P(n,k) is the dimension of the space of homogeneous, harmonic polynomials of degree k in n variables (Shubin, p. 169). For relations to Chebyshev polynomials and simple Lie algebras, see A034807. - Tom Copeland, Jan 10 2016

The g.f. A(x) satisfies A(2*x) = 1 + x*B'(x)/B(x), where B(x) = 1/sqrt(1 - 20*x + 4*x^2) is the g.f. of A098270.
The Gauss congruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^k) hold for all primes p >= 3 and positive integers n and k.
Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n) - 3/a(n)) = 1/4.
Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(a(n) + 2/a(n)) = 1/6.
Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n)^2 - 3) = 1/4 - 1/sqrt(24). (End)

Also numbers n such that RootMeanSquare(1,3,...,2*n-1) is an integer. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Sep 04 2008
a(n), with n>1, is the length of the cevian of equilateral triangle whose side length is the term b(n) of the sequence A028230. This cevian divides the side (2*x+1) of the triangle in two integer segments x and x+1. - Giacomo Fecondo, Oct 09 2010

The r-family of sequences is S_r(n) = 2*(T(n,(r-2)/2) - 1)/(r-4) provided r is not equal to 4 and S_4(n) = n^2 = A000290(n). Here T(n,x) are Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind. See their coefficient triangle A053120. See also the R. Stephan link for the explicit formula for s_k(n) for k not equal to 4 (Stephan's s_k(n) is identical with S_r(n)).
An integer n is in this sequence iff mutually externally tangent circles with radii n, n+1, n+2 have Soddy circles (i.e., circles tangent to all three) of rational radius. - James R. Buddenhagen, Nov 16 2005
