The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = -(4*n^2-12*n+9+(8*n-12)*x+4*x^2)*P(n-2,x) + (4*n-4+4*x)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 0, P(2,x) = 2.

Properties

• Real-rooted? Every row P_n, n ≥ 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (−∞, 0]
  by Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
• Coefficients of one sign? Every nonzero row, n ≥ 1: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
  derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
• Hadamard kernel (Malo)? Rows P_n, n ≥ 1, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
  derived from Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
• Interlacing of consecutive rows? Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m ≥ 2
  by Laguerre’s theorem on differential operators
