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 = 0, …, ascending powers of x

%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (n-x)*P(n,x) = -(n^2+2*n+1-(2*n+2)*x+x^2)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 1, with P(0,x) = -1 + x.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := -1 + x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[(-(n^2 + 2*n + 1 - (2*n + 2)*x + x^2)*P[n - 1, x])/(n - x)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N + 1)); v[1] = -1 + x; for(n = 1, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = (-(n^2 + 2*n + 1 - (2*n + 2)*x + x^2)*v[i - 1])/(n - x)); v};
