A124033 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the coefficient of x^k in the determinant of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 1's on the main diagonal and x^(1/2) on the sub- and superdiagonal (n>=1, 0<=k<=floor(n/2)). +0

COMMENT

Row n contains 1+floor(n/2) terms. With x on the main diagonal and 1's on the sub- and superdiagonal, one obtains A049310.

Conjecture: this is A115139 with its first row deleted. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 18 2008

EXAMPLE

Setting y=sqrt(x), we have det(matrix({1,y,0,0},{y,1,y,0},{0,y,1,y},{0,0,y,1}))=1-3x+x^2, leading to row 4 of the triangle.

Triangle starts:

1;

1,-1;

1,-2;

1,-3,1;

1,-4,3;

1,-5,6,-1;

1,-6,10,-4;

MAPLE

with(linalg): m:=proc(i, j) if i=j then 1 elif abs(i-j)=1 then sqrt(x) else 0 fi end: T:=(n, k)->coeff(det(matrix(n, n, m)), x, k): for n from 1 to 16 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..floor(n/2)) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
