A166973: Triangle T(n,k) read by rows: T(n, k) = (m*n - m*k + 1)*T(n - 1, k - 1) + (5*k - 4)*(m*k - (m - 1))*T(n - 1, k) where m = 0.

OEIS matches ?

• A166973: triangle, 49 terms agree, 9 full rows row-aligned (tabl) OEIS nonn in polytool catalog · view at the OEIS · generated b-file 990 terms from n = 1 ?
• A003577: 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.

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-cdec5b72bd920a86
• 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-cdec5b72bd920a86
• 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-cdec5b72bd920a86
• 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.
  by the cited steps: e-cdec5b72bd920a86
• Basis map preserves real-rootedness. Basis map u^k -> P_k sends roots in (-inf, 1] to roots in (-inf, 0]: source (-inf, a + b h + kappa m] = (-inf, 1] with m = 0, target (-inf, 0]
  The linear map sending x^k to the k-th polynomial of the sequence turns polynomials with roots in one interval into real-rooted ones.
