%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (n-3)*P(n,x) = (n-3+(n-3)*x)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 4, with P(0,x) = 2*x, P(1,x) = 0, P(2,x) = 0, P(3,x) = x^2 + x^3.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 2*x;
P[1, x_] := 0;
P[2, x_] := 0;
P[3, x_] := x^2 + x^3;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((n - 3 + (n - 3)*x)*P[n - 1, x])/(n - 3)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N + 1)); v[1] = 2*x; v[2] = 0; v[3] = 0; v[4] = x^2 + x^3; for(n = 4, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = ((n - 3 + (n - 3)*x)*v[i - 1])/(n - 3)); v};
