%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (n-2)*P(n,x) = (2*n+n*x)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(0,x) = 0, P(1,x) = 0, P(2,x) = 2.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 0;
P[1, x_] := 0;
P[2, x_] := 2;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((2*n + n*x)*P[n - 1, x])/(n - 2)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N + 1)); v[1] = 0; v[2] = 0; v[3] = 2; for(n = 3, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = ((2*n + n*x)*v[i - 1])/(n - 2)); v};
