Comments

Conjecture: Given the function f(x,y) = (sqrt(x^2+y) + x)^2 and constant k=f(x,y), then for all integers x >= 1 and y=[+-]1, k may be irrational, but (k^n + k^(-n))/2 always produces integer sequences; y=-1 results shown here; y=1 results are A188645.

Also square array A(n,k), n >= 1, k >= 0, read by antidiagonals, where A(n,k) is Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind T_{2*k}(x), evaluated at x=n. - Seiichi Manyama, Dec 30 2018

Formula

A(n,k) = (A188646(n,k-1) + A188646(n,k))/2.

A(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..k} binomial(2*k,2*j)*(n^2-1)^(k-j)*n^(2*j). - Seiichi Manyama, Jan 01 2019
