%N One half of even powers of 2*x in terms of Chebyshev's T-polynomials.

%C See A122366 for one half of odd powers of 2*x in terms of Chebyshev's T-polynomials.

%C This is, for n >= 1, the left half of Pascal's triangle for even rows with the central coefficients divided by 2.

%C The signed version of this triangle, b(n,k) := a(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k), appears in the formula (1/2)*(2*sin(phi))^(2*n) = (Sum_{k=0..n-1} b(n,k)*cos(2*(n-k)*phi)) + a(n,n).

%C Correspondingly, (1/2)*(4*(1-x^2))^n = (Sum_{k=0..n-1} b(n,k)*T(2*(n-k),x)) + a(n,n).

%C The proofs follow from Euler's formula 2*x = 2*cos(phi) = exp(i*phi) + exp(-i*phi) or 2*sqrt(1-x^2) = 2*sin(phi) = (exp(i*phi) - exp(-i*phi))/i and the binomial formula.
