OEIS submission text ?

Fields to paste into an OEIS submission: the example %e, the formula %F and programs %t (Mathematica) and %o (PARI/GP) that list the same rows. For an OEIS link the row numbers, the offset and the orientation are those of the entry, as matched; the matched terms were compared with the published ones, which identifies the node with the entry on a finite prefix, not for every n. The PARI/GP program is not machine-checked here.

The atlas's own rows: n = 1, …, ascending powers of x

%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (4*n^3-10*n^2+8*n-2)*P(n,x) = (4*n^3-10*n^2+8*n-2+(36*n^3-132*n^2+152*n-52)*x)*P(n-1,x) + ((8*n^2-18*n+8)*x-(52*n^2-134*n+62)*x^2)*d/dx P(n-1,x) - ((5*n-3)*x^2-(20*n-12)*x^3)*d^2/dx^2 P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(1,x) = 1.

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (-inf, 0]
    Every polynomial of the sequence has only real roots, inside the stated interval.
    by the cited steps: e-fe1ef6d74823af06
  • Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 1: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
    All coefficients of each polynomial have the same sign (after x -> -x when alternating).
    derived from the cited steps by a stated theorem: e-fe1ef6d74823af06
  • Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 1, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
    Multiplying the coefficients of any real-rooted polynomial termwise by those of a row (Hadamard product) gives a real-rooted polynomial again.
    derived from the cited steps by a stated theorem: e-fe1ef6d74823af06
