%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy n^2*P(n,x) = (n^2+2*n+1+4*x)*P(n-1,x) + ((n+3)*x-4*x^2)*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 1, with P(0,x) = 1.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 1;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((n^2 + 2*n + 1 + 4*x)*P[n - 1, x] + ((n + 3)*x - 4*x^2)*D[P[n - 1, x], x])/(n^2)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
