%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (2*n-1+(4*n-2)*x+(2*n-1)*x^2)*P(n,x) = (2*n+1+(12*n-2)*x+(22*n-11)*x^2+(16*n-12)*x^3+(4*n-4)*x^4)*P(n-1,x) - (2*x+10*x^2+18*x^3+14*x^4+4*x^5)*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 1, with P(0,x) = 1.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 1;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((2*n + 1 + (12*n - 2)*x + (22*n - 11)*x^2 + (16*n - 12)*x^3 + (4*n - 4)*x^4)*P[n - 1, x] - (2*x + 10*x^2 + 18*x^3 + 14*x^4 + 4*x^5)*D[P[n - 1, x], x])/(2*n - 1 + (4*n - 2)*x + (2*n - 1)*x^2)]];
