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 -(2-(n-1)*x)*P(n,x) = -(2-(3*n-2)*x+(n^2-n)*x^2)*P(n-1,x) for n >= 2, with P(1,x) = 2 - x.
%t Mathematica
P[1, x_] := 2 - x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[(-(2 - (3*n - 2)*x + (n^2 - n)*x^2)*P[n - 1, x])/(-2 + (n - 1)*x)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = 2 - x; for(n = 2, N, my(i = n); v[i] = (-(2 - (3*n - 2)*x + (n^2 - n)*x^2)*v[i - 1])/(-2 + (n - 1)*x)); v};
