%F Formula

The row polynomials satisfy (n-2)*P(n,x) = (3*n^2-5*n+2+(n-1)*x)*P(n-1,x) + (3*n-3)*x*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 0, P(2,x) = 1.

%t Mathematica

P[1, x_] := 0;
P[2, x_] := 1;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((3*n^2 - 5*n + 2 + (n - 1)*x)*P[n - 1, x] + (3*n - 3)*x*D[P[n - 1, x], x])/(n - 2)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten

%o PARI/GP

P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = 0; v[2] = 1; for(n = 3, N, my(i = n); v[i] = ((3*n^2 - 5*n + 2 + (n - 1)*x)*v[i - 1] + (3*n - 3)*x*deriv(v[i - 1], x))/(n - 2)); v};

Properties

Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0]
by Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Coefficients of one sign? Every nonzero row, n ≥ 1: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 1, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
