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) = -(12-3*x)*P(n-1,x) - (4-x)*P(n-2,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = -12 + 3*x.

%t Mathematica

P[1, x_] := 1;
P[2, x_] := -12 + 3*x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[-(12 - 3*x)*P[n - 1, x] - (4 - x)*P[n - 2, x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten

%o PARI/GP

P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = 1; v[2] = -12 + 3*x; for(n = 3, N, my(i = n); v[i] = -(12 - 3*x)*v[i - 1] - (4 - x)*v[i - 2]); v};

Proved properties

Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (32/9, 4]
Every polynomial of the sequence has only real roots, inside the stated interval.

by the cited steps: e-27282dcb1ed61456
Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 1: the coefficients of P_n(-x) 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-27282dcb1ed61456
Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m >= 2
The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
