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) = -(1-x)*P(n-1,x) - d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(1,x) = x.
%t Mathematica
P[1, x_] := x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[-(1 - x)*P[n - 1, x] - D[P[n - 1, x], x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = x; for(n = 2, N, my(i = n); v[i] = -(1 - x)*v[i - 1] - deriv(v[i - 1], x)); v};
row(n, p) = {my(c = Vecrev(p)); c};
T(N) = {my(v = P(N)); concat(vector(#v, i, row(i, v[i])))};
