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 = 0, …, ascending powers of x

The row polynomials satisfy (n^4-2*n^3+n^2)*P(n,x) = -(n^4+2*n^3+n^2+(2*n^4+4*n^3+2*n^2)*x+(n^4+2*n^3+n^2)*x^2)*P(n-2,x) + (2*n^4-4*n^2+2+(2*n^4-4*n^2+2)*x)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(0,x) = 1, P(1,x) = 8 + 4*x.

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 0, 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-8324da2f35d5f52e
  • Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 0: 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-8324da2f35d5f52e
  • Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 0, 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-8324da2f35d5f52e
