Vieta's triangular array and a related family of polynomials

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1991, vol. 14, 1-6

Abstract:

If n ≥ 1 , let the n t h row of an infinite triangular array consist of entries B ( n , j ) = n n − j ( j n − j ) , where 0 ≤ j ≤ [ 1 2 n ] .

We develop some properties of this array, which was discovered by Vieta. In addition, we prove some irreducibility properties of the family of polynomials V n ( x ) = ∑ j = 0 [ 1 2 n ] ( − 1 ) j B ( n , j ) x n − 2 j .

These polynomials, which we call Vieta polynomials, are related to Chebychev polynomials of the first kind.
