Abstract:

By using Dickson polynomials in several variables and Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we derive the explicit expression of the entries in the array defining the sequence A185095. As a result, we obtain a straightforward proof of some conjectures of Jeffery concerning this sequence and other related ones.
