FORMULA
f(n,x) = (2x-1)f(n-1,x)-x^2*f(n-2,x), where f(n,x) is the characteristic polynomial of the n X n matrix from the definition and f(0,x)=1. See formula in Fendley and Krushkal. - Jonathan Vos Post, Nov 04 2007
T(n,k) = (-1)^k * A085478(n,k) = (-1)^n * A129818(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Feb 06 2012
T(n,k) = 2*T(n-1,k) - T(n-1,k-1) - T(n-2,k), T(0,0)=T(1,0)=1, T(1,1)=-1, T(n,k)=0 if k < 0 or if k > n. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 29 2013
