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.

The atlas's own rows: n = 1, …, ascending powers of x

The row polynomials satisfy ((1/2)*n+1)*P(n,x) = (n^2+4*n+3-((1/2)*n+3/2)*x)*P(n-1,x) - ((1/2)*n^3+3*n^2+(11/2)*n+3)*P(n-2,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = -8 - 16*x + 4*x^2, P(2,x) = -60 - 65*x + 50*x^2 - 5*x^3.

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (-inf, +inf)
    Every polynomial of the sequence has only real roots, inside the stated interval.
    by the cited steps: e-8965e6e864ed875e
  • Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (strict, previous interlaces next) for every m >= 2
    The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
    by the cited steps: e-8965e6e864ed875e
