Observed on the stored rows ?

  • Degrees: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 (affine: slope 1, intercept 0)
  • Palindromic rows: no
  • γ-positive (gamma_positive): no
  • Nonnegative coefficients (nonn): yes
  • Only rational roots (rr_by_factors: every nonzero row is a product of linear factors over ℚ): no

OEIS matches ?

A generated b-file is computed from the node's definition along the row alignment of its OEIS link and starts at the entry's offset. It is an identification on a finite prefix, not a proof that the node and the OEIS entry agree for every n.

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.

Proved properties

  • Real-rooted. Every row P_n, n >= 0, 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-fb471901eb718e65
  • Coefficients of one sign. Every nonzero row, n >= 0: 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-fb471901eb718e65
  • Hadamard kernel (Malo). Rows P_n, n >= 0, 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-fb471901eb718e65
  • Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (strict, previous interlaces next) for every m >= 1
    The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
    by the cited steps: e-fb471901eb718e65
  • Basis map preserves real-rootedness. Basis map u^k -> P_k sends roots in [-1 - sqrt(2), -1 + sqrt(2)] to roots in (-inf, +inf): every real polynomial with all roots in E = [-1 - sqrt(2), -1 + sqrt(2)] has a real-rooted image
    The linear map sending x^k to the k-th polynomial of the sequence turns polynomials with roots in one interval into real-rooted ones.
    by the cited steps: e-1705da5779905533
  • Basis map preserves real-rootedness. Basis map u^k -> P_k sends roots in [-1 - sqrt(2), -1 + sqrt(2)] to roots in [-3/2 - sqrt(2), -3/2 + sqrt(2)]: every real polynomial with all roots in E = [-1 - sqrt(2), -1 + sqrt(2)] has an image with all roots in I = [-3/2 - sqrt(2), -3/2 + sqrt(2)]
    The linear map sending x^k to the k-th polynomial of the sequence turns polynomials with roots in one interval into real-rooted ones.
    by the cited steps: e-1705da5779905533
  • Basis map preserves real-rootedness. Basis map u^k -> P_k sends roots in [-1 - sqrt(2), 0] to roots in [-3/2 - sqrt(2), -3/2 + sqrt(2)]: every PF input with all roots in [-1 - sqrt(2), 0] has a PF image; no larger [-R, 0] works
    The linear map sending x^k to the k-th polynomial of the sequence turns polynomials with roots in one interval into real-rooted ones.
