COMMENT

If U_n(x), T_n(x) are Chebyshev's polynomials then U_n(x)=P_{n,0}(x), T_n(x)=P_{n,1}(x).

Let n>=2 and k be of the same parity. Consider a set X consisting of (n+k)/2-2 main blocks of the size 2 and an additional block of the size 2, then (-1)^((n-k)/2)a(n,k) is the number of n-2-subsets of X intersecting each main block.

FORMULA

If n>=2 and k are of the same parity then a(n,k)= (-1)^((n-k)/2)*sum((-1)^i*binomial((n+k)/2-2, i)*binomial(n+k-2-2*i, n-2), i=0..(n+k)/2-2), and a(n,k)=0 if n and k are of different parity.

EXAMPLE

Rows are (1),(-2,2),(1,-5,4),(4,-12,8),(-1,13,-28,16),...

since P_{2,2}=x^2, P_{3,2}=-2x+2x^3, P_{4,2}=1-5x^2+4x^4,...

MAPLE

if modp(n-k, 2)=0 then a[n, k]:=(-1)^((n-k)/2)*sum((-1)^i*binomial((n+k)/2-2, i)*binomial(n+k-2-2*i, n-2), i=0..(n+k)/2-2); end if;
