%F Formula

The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = -x^2*P(n-4,x) - 2*n*x*P(n-3,x) - (n^2+n-2*x)*P(n-2,x) + (2*n+2)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 4, with P(0,x) = 1, P(1,x) = 4 + x, P(2,x) = 17 + 5*x, P(3,x) = 88 + 30*x + x^2.

Properties

Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 0, 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 ≥ 0: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 0, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
