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

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 0, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in [9/2, +inf)
    Every polynomial of the sequence has only real roots, inside the stated interval.
    by the cited steps: e-2bc76bcaa23d62fb
  • Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 0: the coefficients of P_n(-x) 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-2bc76bcaa23d62fb
  • Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m >= 1
    The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
    by the cited steps: e-2bc76bcaa23d62fb
