Let E(n,k) (1 <= k <= n) denote the Eulerian numbers as defined in A008292. Then we define polynomials p(n,x) for n >= 0 as follows.
p(n,x) = (1/(1-x)) * ( Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (-1)^k*E(n+2,k+1)*x^k + Sum_{k=ceiling((n+2)/2)..n+1} (-1)^(n+k)*E(n+2,k+1)*x^k ).
For example,
p(0,x) = (1-x)/(1-x) = 1,
p(1,x) = (1-x^2)/(1-x) = 1 + x,
p(2,x) = (1 - 11*x + 11*x^2 - x^3)/(1-x) = 1 - 10*x + x^2,
p(3,x) = (1 - 26*x + 26*x^3 - x^4)/(1-x) = 1 - 25*x - 25*x^2 + x^3),
p(4,x) = (1 - 57*x + 302*x^2 - 302*x^3 + 57*x^3 + x^5)/(1-x)
= 1 - 56*x + 246*x^2 - 56*x^3 + x^4.
More generally, there is a triangle-to-triangle transformation U -> T defined as follows.
Let U(n,k) (1 <= k <= n) be a triangle of nonnegative numbers in which the rows are symmetric about the middle. Define polynomials p(n,x) for n >= 0 by
p(n,x) = (1/(1-x)) * ( Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (-1)^k*U(n+2,k+1)*x^k + Sum_{k=ceiling((n+2)/2)..n+1} (-1)^(n+k)*U(n+2,k+1)*x^k ).
The n-th row of the new triangle T(n,k) (0 <= k <= n) gives the coefficients in the expansion of p(n+2).
The new triangle may be defined recursively by: T(n,0)=1; T(n,k) = T(n,k-1) + (-1)^k*U(n+2,k) for 1 <= k <= floor(n/2); T(n,k) = T(n,n-k).
Note that the central terms in the odd-numbered rows of U(n,k) do not get used.
