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.

The atlas's own rows: n = 1, …, ascending powers of x

%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = (1+2*x-x^2)*P(n-2,x) + (2*x-2*x^2)*d/dx P(n-2,x) + 2*x*P(n-1,x) + 2*x*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = 1 + 2*x.
%t Mathematica

P[2, x_] := 1 + 2*x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[(1 + 2*x - x^2)*P[n - 2, x] + (2*x - 2*x^2)*D[P[n - 2, x], x] + 2*x*P[n - 1, x] + 2*x*D[P[n - 1, x], x]];

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 1, 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-694ead71eec92686
  • Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 1: 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-694ead71eec92686
  • Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 1, 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-694ead71eec92686
  • Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m >= 2
    The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
    by the cited steps: e-694ead71eec92686
