Observed on the stored rows ?

  • Degrees: 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7 (half affine: slope 1, intercept 0)
  • Palindromic rows: no
  • γ-positive (gamma_positive): no
  • Nonnegative coefficients (nonn): yes
  • Only rational roots (rr_by_factors: every nonzero row is a product of linear factors over ℚ): no

OEIS matches ?

A generated b-file is computed from the node's definition along the row alignment of its OEIS link and starts at the entry's offset. It is an identification on a finite prefix, not a proof that the node and the OEIS entry agree for every n.

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.

%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy ((1/2)*n^2-(1/2)*n)*P(n,x) = (n^2+4*n-5)*P(n-1,x) - ((1/2)*n^2+(9/2)*n+10-((1/2)*n^2+(9/2)*n+10)*x)*P(n-2,x) for n >= 2, with P(0,x) = 1, P(1,x) = 6.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 1;
P[1, x_] := 6;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((n^2 + 4*n - 5)*P[n - 1, x] - ((1/2)*n^2 + (9/2)*n + 10 - ((1/2)*n^2 + (9/2)*n + 10)*x)*P[n - 2, x])/((1/2)*n^2 - (1/2)*n)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N + 1)); v[1] = 1; v[2] = 6; for(n = 2, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = ((n^2 + 4*n - 5)*v[i - 1] - ((1/2)*n^2 + (9/2)*n + 10 - ((1/2)*n^2 + (9/2)*n + 10)*x)*v[i - 2])/((1/2)*n^2 - (1/2)*n)); v};

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 0, 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-496b1966a8762df1
  • Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 0: 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-496b1966a8762df1
  • Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 0, 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-496b1966a8762df1
  • Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, previous interlaces next) for every m >= 1
    The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
    by the cited steps: e-496b1966a8762df1
