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.

%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (n^2-n-2)*P(n,x) = (2*n^2+2*n+(3*n^2-7*n+2)*x)*P(n-1,x) + ((4*n-2)*x-(2*n-1)*x^2)*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 0, P(2,x) = 1.

P[2, x_] := 1;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((2*n^2 + 2*n + (3*n^2 - 7*n + 2)*x)*P[n - 1, x] + ((4*n - 2)*x - (2*n - 1)*x^2)*D[P[n - 1, x], x])/(n^2 - n - 2)]];

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-6d239f40755a17ae
  • 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-6d239f40755a17ae
  • 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-6d239f40755a17ae
  • Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, unordered) for every m >= 2
    The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
    by the cited steps: e-6d239f40755a17ae
