%F Formula

The row polynomials satisfy (n-2)*P(n,x) = (2*n-4+(n-2)*x)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(0,x) = 1, P(1,x) = 2 + x, P(2,x) = 7 + 7*x + x^2.

%t Mathematica

P[0, x_] := 1;
P[1, x_] := 2 + x;
P[2, x_] := 7 + 7*x + x^2;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((2*n - 4 + (n - 2)*x)*P[n - 1, x])/(n - 2)]];
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] = 2 + x; v[3] = 7 + 7*x + x^2; for(n = 3, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = ((2*n - 4 + (n - 2)*x)*v[i - 1])/(n - 2)); v};
row(n, p) = {my(c = Vecrev(p)); c};
T(N) = {my(v = P(N)); concat(vector(#v, i, row(i - 1, v[i])))};

Properties

Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 0, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0]
by Geometric basis map (elementary)
Coefficients of one sign? Every nonzero row, n ≥ 0: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
derived from Geometric basis map (elementary)
Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 0, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
derived from Geometric basis map (elementary)
Interlacing of consecutive rows? Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m ≥ 3
by Geometric basis map (elementary)
