%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = -(4+8*x+4*x^2)*P(n-2,x) + (4+4*x)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(0,x) = 0, P(1,x) = 1.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 0;
P[1, x_] := 1;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[-(4 + 8*x + 4*x^2)*P[n - 2, x] + (4 + 4*x)*P[n - 1, x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
