Example of Use of Sum of Euler Numbers by Binomial Coefficients Vanishes

$\forall n \in \Z_{>0}: \ds \sum_{k \mathop = 0}^n \binom {2 n} {2 k} E_{2 k} = 0$

where $E_k$ denotes the $k$th Euler number.


$\begin{array}{r|cccccccccc} E_k & \dbinom n 0 & & \dbinom n 2 & & \dbinom n 4 & & \dbinom n 6 & & \dbinom n 8 & & \dbinom n {10} \\ \hline E_0 = +1 & 1 E_0 & & & & & & & & & & & = 1 \\ E_2 = -1 & 1 E_0 & + & 1 E_2 & & & & & & & & & = 0 \\ E_4 = +5 & 1 E_0 & + & 6 E_2 & + & 1 E_4 & & & & & & & = 0 \\ E_6 = -61 & 1 E_0 & + & 15 E_2 & + & 15 E_4 & + & 1 E_6 & & & & & = 0 \\ E_8 = +1385 & 1 E_0 & + & 28 E_2 & + & 70 E_4 & + & 28 E_6 & + & 1 E_8 & & & = 0 \\ E_{10} = -50521 & 1 E_0 & + & 45 E_2 & + & 210 E_4 & + & 210 E_6 & + & 45 E_8 & + & 1 E_{10} & = 0 \\ \end{array}$
