Abstract
Chebyshev polynomials and their modifications are attributes of various fields of mathematics. In particular, they are generating functions of the rows elements of certain Riordan matrices. In paper, we give a selection of some characteristic situations in which such matrices are involved. Using the columns and rows of these matrices, we will build the bases of the space of formal power series and the space of polynomials, the properties of which allow us to call them "Fibonacci bases".

1 Introduction
Subject of our study are the transformations in space of formal power series and the corresponding matrices. We will associate rows and columns of matrices with the generating functions of their elements, i.e. with the formal power series. th coefficient of the series , th row and th column of the matrix will be denoted respectively by
[TABLE]
Matrix , transformation corresponding to the matrix and the basis of vector space formed by the sequence of columns of the matrix will be denoted by the same symbol. I.e. we will say: matrix , transformation , basis .
Infinite lower triangular matrix th column of which has the generating function , , is called Riordan array, or Riordan matrix [1] – [3]. It is the product of two matrices that correspond to the operators of multiplication and composition of series:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Transposed Riordan matrices can be considered as matrices of the operators acting in the space of polynomials. Similar operators corresponding to the transposed exponential Riordan matrices (i.e. matrices , where is the diagonal matrix: ) are considered in the umbral calculus [4].
Riordan matrix inverse to itself is called the Riordan involution [5], [6]. It can be represented in the form , where is the some Riordan matrix,
[TABLE]
Matrix is called the Riordan pseudo-involution. We will use this terminology also for transposed Riordan matrices. Matrix
[TABLE]
is called Pascal matrix. Power of the Pascal matrix defined by . Transformation acts in the space of formal power series and is called the generalized Euler transformation:
[TABLE]
transformation acts in the space of polynomials and is called the shift operator:
[TABLE]
Transformation is an involution. Each polynomial is the sum of polynomials , such that , . Hence, , . Respectively, since transformation is an involution, each series is the sum of series , such that , . Sequence of columns of the invertible infinite upper triangular matrix such that will be called pseudo-eigenbasis of the transformation ; sequence of columns of the invertible infinite lower triangular matrix such that will be called pseudo-eigenbasis of the transformation . Polynomials , are the combinations respectively of even and odd columns of the matrix ; series , are the combinations respectively of even and odd columns of the matrix .
Eigenspaces of the transformation are subject of papers [7] – [9]. In [10], [11] eigenspaces of the transformations and are considered on general terms; this point of view intersects with our observations set out in Section 4.
Modified Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind , , or
[TABLE]
, , are associated with the Riordan matrices as follows:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Generalization of these polynomials are the Dickson polynomials:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
, . Hence, tn row of the matrix
[TABLE]
, is the polynomial , tn row of the matrix
[TABLE]
is the polynomial .
Chebyshev polynomials and their modifications in connection with Riordan matrices are considered in [12] – [15].

In the following sections of paper, we present some observations related to the stated subject matter. In Sections 1 and 2, we consider two types of the transformations and corresponding Riordan matrices. Rows and columns of these matrices, firstly, are associated with the certain modifications of the Chebyshev polynomials, and secondly, they form the pseudo-eigenbases of the transformations , . In Section 4, we will build the pseudo-eigenbases of the transformations and , using the rows and columns of the matrices of certain “transformations of the second type ”. Some features of these bases allow us to call them "Fibonacci bases". In Section 5, we give a generalization of these bases. In all the cases considered, we will use two identities for the rows of Riordan matrices which constitute the content of the following theorem.
