%F Formula

The row polynomials satisfy n*P(n,x) = -(2*n+2+(2*n^2-2)*x+(n^3-n)*x^2)*P(n-2,x) - ((n+1)*x+(n^2-1)*x^2-(n^2+n)*x^3)*d/dx P(n-2,x) + (3*n+1+2*n^2*x)*P(n-1,x) + (n*x-n*x^2)*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 6 + 2*x, P(2,x) = 15 + 30*x + 3*x^2.

Properties

Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0]
by Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Coefficients of one sign? Every nonzero row, n ≥ 1: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 1, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Interlacing of consecutive rows? Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m ≥ 2
by Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
