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

%F Formula

The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = (2+2*n*x)*P(n-1,x) + (x-4*x^2)*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(1,x) = 4 + 4*x.

%t Mathematica

P[1, x_] := 4 + 4*x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[(2 + 2*n*x)*P[n - 1, x] + (x - 4*x^2)*D[P[n - 1, x], x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten

%o PARI/GP

P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = 4 + 4*x; for(n = 2, N, my(i = n); v[i] = (2 + 2*n*x)*v[i - 1] + (x - 4*x^2)*deriv(v[i - 1], x)); v};
row(n, p) = {my(c = Vecrev(p)); c};
T(N) = {my(v = P(N)); concat(vector(#v, i, row(i, v[i])))};

Proved properties

Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 1, is zero or real-rooted with all roots in (-inf, 0]
Every polynomial of the sequence has only real roots, inside the stated interval.

by the cited steps: e-0784867e60003b7b
Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 1: the coefficients of P_n have one sign
All coefficients of each polynomial have the same sign (after x -> -x when alternating).

derived from the cited steps by a stated theorem: e-0784867e60003b7b
Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 1, are Hadamard kernels (preserve real-rootedness)
Multiplying the coefficients of any real-rooted polynomial termwise by those of a row (Hadamard product) gives a real-rooted polynomial again.

derived from the cited steps by a stated theorem: e-0784867e60003b7b
