%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = -(1-x)*P(n-1,x) + (2-4*x)*d/dx P(n-1,x) + 4*x*d^2/dx^2 P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(1,x) = 3 - 6*x + x^2.
%t Mathematica
P[1, x_] := 3 - 6*x + x^2;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[-(1 - x)*P[n - 1, x] + (2 - 4*x)*D[P[n - 1, x], x] + 4*x*D[P[n - 1, x], {x, 2}]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = 3 - 6*x + x^2; for(n = 2, N, my(i = n); v[i] = -(1 - x)*v[i - 1] + (2 - 4*x)*deriv(v[i - 1], x) + 4*x*deriv(deriv(v[i - 1], x), x)); v};
row(n, p) = {my(c = Vecrev(p)); c};
