%F Formula

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

Properties

Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 0, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0)
by Liu–Wang theorem for three-term recurrences
Coefficients of one sign? Every nonzero row, n ≥ 0: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
derived from Liu–Wang theorem for three-term recurrences
Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 0, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
derived from Liu–Wang theorem for three-term recurrences
Interlacing of consecutive rows? Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, previous interlaces next) for every m ≥ 1
by Liu–Wang theorem for three-term recurrences
