%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy ((1/2)*n^2-(1/2)*n)*P(n,x) = ((1/2)*n^2+(5/2)*n+3)*x*P(n-2,x) + ((1/2)*n^2+(5/2)*n+3)*x*d/dx P(n-2,x) + (n^2+2*n-3)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(0,x) = 1, P(1,x) = 4.

Properties

  • Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 0, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0]
  • Coefficients of one sign? Every nonzero row, n ≥ 0: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
    derived from Ray basis map theorem
  • Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 0, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
    derived from Ray basis map theorem
