Observed on the stored rows ?

  • Degrees: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 (affine: slope 1, intercept 0)
  • Palindromic rows: no
  • γ-positive (gamma_positive): no
  • Nonnegative coefficients (nonn): no
  • Only rational roots (rr_by_factors: every nonzero row is a product of linear factors over ℚ): yes

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 (n-3-x)*P(n,x) = -(n^2-4*n+4-(2*n-4)*x+x^2)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(1,x) = 1 + x.
%t Mathematica
P[1, x_] := 1 + x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[(-(n^2 - 4*n + 4 - (2*n - 4)*x + x^2)*P[n - 1, x])/(n - 3 - x)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = 1 + x; for(n = 2, N, my(i = n); v[i] = (-(n^2 - 4*n + 4 - (2*n - 4)*x + x^2)*v[i - 1])/(n - 3 - x)); v};
