%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = (1+x)*P(n-4,x) - P(n-2,x) + 2*P(n-1,x) for n >= 4, with P(0,x) = 0, P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = 2, P(3,x) = 3.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 0;
P[1, x_] := 1;
P[2, x_] := 2;
P[3, x_] := 3;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[(1 + x)*P[n - 4, x] - P[n - 2, x] + 2*P[n - 1, x]];
