OEIS matches ?

A387869: row sums, 15 terms agree OEIS nonn (row-sum match: finite agreement only) · view at the OEIS · generated b-file 200 terms from n = 0 ?

A generated b-file is computed from the node's definition along the row alignment of its OEIS link and starts at the entry's offset. It is an identification on a finite prefix, not a proof that the node and the OEIS entry agree for every n.

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 = 1, …, ascending powers of x

%F Formula

The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = 4*P(n-1,x) - (6-2*x)*P(n-2,x) + (4+12*x)*P(n-3,x) - (1-2*x+x^2)*P(n-4,x) for n >= 5, with P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = 1, P(3,x) = 1 + 5*x, P(4,x) = 1 + 35*x.

Proved properties

Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 1, 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-d03002d6b7efed5a
Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 1: 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-d03002d6b7efed5a
Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 1, 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-d03002d6b7efed5a
Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, previous interlaces next) for every m >= 2
The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
