A123965 Triangle read by rows: T(0,0)=1; T(n,k) is the coefficient of x^k in the polynomial (-1)^n*p(n,x), where p(n,x) is the characteristic polynomial of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 3's on the main diagonal and -1's on the super- and subdiagonal (n >= 1; 0 <= k <= n). 6

COMMENTS
Reversed polynomials = bisection of A152063: (1; 1,3; 1,6,8; 1,9,25,21; ...) having the following property: even-indexed Fibonacci numbers = Product_{k=1..n-2/2} (1 + 4*cos^2 k*Pi/n); n relating to regular polygons with an even number of edges. Example: The roots to x^3 - 9*x^2 + 25*x - 21 relate to the octagon and are such that the product with k=1,2,3 = (4.414213...)*(3)*(1.585786...) = 21. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 15 2010

FORMULA
T(n, 0) = Fibonacci(2*n+2) = A001906(n+1).
Equals coefficients of the polynomials p(n,x) = (3-x)*p(n-1,x) - p(n-2,x), with p(0, x) = 1, p(1, x) = 3-x. - Roger L. Bagula, Oct 31 2006
From G. C. Greubel, Aug 20 2023: (Start)
T(n, k) = [x^k]( ChebyshevU(n, (3-x)/2) ).
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k) = n+1.
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*T(n, k) = A001353(n+1).
Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} T(n-k, k) = A000225(n+1).
Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (-1)^k*T(n-k, k) = A000244(n). (End)
