%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = -x^2*P(n-4,x) + (4+2*x)*P(n-2,x) for n >= 4, with P(0,x) = 0, P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = 2, P(3,x) = 6 + x.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 0;
P[1, x_] := 1;
P[2, x_] := 2;
P[3, x_] := 6 + x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[-x^2*P[n - 4, x] + (4 + 2*x)*P[n - 2, x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten

P(N) = {my(v = vector(N + 1)); v[1] = 0; v[2] = 1; v[3] = 2; v[4] = 6 + x; for(n = 4, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = -x^2*v[i - 4] + (4 + 2*x)*v[i - 2]); v};
row(n, p) = {my(c = Vecrev(p)); c};
