%F Formula

The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = -(4*n^2-20*n+25+(8*n-20)*x+4*x^2)*P(n-2,x) + (4*n-8+4*x)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = 3 + 2*x.

%t Mathematica

P[1, x_] := 1;
P[2, x_] := 3 + 2*x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[-(4*n^2 - 20*n + 25 + (8*n - 20)*x + 4*x^2)*P[n - 2, x] + (4*n - 8 + 4*x)*P[n - 1, x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten

Properties

Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0]
by Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Coefficients of one sign? Every nonzero row, n ≥ 1: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 1, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Interlacing of consecutive rows? Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m ≥ 2
by Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
