Observed on the stored rows ?

  • Degrees: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 (affine: slope 1, intercept -1)
  • Palindromic rows: no
  • γ-positive (gamma_positive): no
  • Nonnegative coefficients (nonn): yes
  • Only rational roots (rr_by_factors: every nonzero row is a product of linear factors over ℚ): no

OEIS matches ?

A generated b-file is computed from the node's definition along the row alignment of its OEIS link and starts at the entry's offset. It is an identification on a finite prefix, not a proof that the node and the OEIS entry agree for every n.

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.

%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (1+2*x+x^2)*P(n,x) = -((n-2)*x^2+(2*n-4)*x^3+(n-2)*x^4)*P(n-2,x) + (1+(n+2)*x+(2*n+1)*x^2+n*x^3)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = 1 + 2*x.
%t Mathematica
P[1, x_] := 1;
P[2, x_] := 1 + 2*x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[(-((n - 2)*x^2 + (2*n - 4)*x^3 + (n - 2)*x^4)*P[n - 2, x] + (1 + (n + 2)*x + (2*n + 1)*x^2 + n*x^3)*P[n - 1, x])/(1 + 2*x + x^2)]];

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in [-1, 0]
    Every polynomial of the sequence has only real roots, inside the stated interval.
    by the cited steps: e-5da7cb2fae934977
  • Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 1: the coefficients of P_n 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-5da7cb2fae934977
  • Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 1, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
    Multiplying the coefficients of any real-rooted polynomial termwise by those of a row (Hadamard product) gives a real-rooted polynomial again.
    derived from the cited steps by a stated theorem: e-5da7cb2fae934977
