%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = 4*x*P(n-2,x) + 4*x*d/dx P(n-2,x) + 4*P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(0,x) = 1, P(1,x) = 2.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 1;
P[1, x_] := 2;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[4*x*P[n - 2, x] + 4*x*D[P[n - 2, x], x] + 4*P[n - 1, x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N + 1)); v[1] = 1; v[2] = 2; for(n = 2, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = 4*x*v[i - 2] + 4*x*deriv(v[i - 2], x) + 4*v[i - 1]); v};

Properties

  • Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 0, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0]
    by Ray basis map theorem
  • 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
