A049460: Generalized Stirling number triangle of first kind read by rows: T(n, k) = [x^k] Product_{m=1..n} (x - m - r), with r = 4.

OEIS matches ?

• A049460: triangle, 45 terms agree, 9 full rows row-aligned (tabl) in polytool catalog · view at the OEIS · generated b-file 990 terms from n = 0 ?

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.

Proved properties

• Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 0, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in [9/2, +inf)
  Every polynomial of the sequence has only real roots, inside the stated interval.
  by the cited steps: e-6b900047034f4def
• Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 0: the coefficients of P_n(-x) 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-6b900047034f4def
• Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m >= 1
  The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
