Abstract:

Riordan matrix methods and properties of generating functions are used to prove that the entries of two Catalan-type Riordan arrays are linked to the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. The connections are that the rows of the arrays are used to expand the monomials (1/2)(2x)n and (1/2)(4x)n in terms of certain Chebyshev polynomials of degree n. In addition, we find new integral representations of the central binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers.
