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 = 0, …, ascending powers of x

%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy P(n,x) = 4*P(n-1,x) - (6-x)*P(n-2,x) + 4*P(n-3,x) - P(n-4,x) for n >= 4, with P(0,x) = 0, P(1,x) = 2, P(2,x) = 5, P(3,x) = 9 + 2*x.
%t Mathematica
P[0, x_] := 0;
P[1, x_] := 2;
P[2, x_] := 5;
P[3, x_] := 9 + 2*x;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[4*P[n - 1, x] - (6 - x)*P[n - 2, x] + 4*P[n - 3, x] - P[n - 4, x]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N + 1)); v[1] = 0; v[2] = 2; v[3] = 5; v[4] = 9 + 2*x; for(n = 4, N, my(i = n + 1); v[i] = 4*v[i - 1] - (6 - x)*v[i - 2] + 4*v[i - 3] - v[i - 4]); v};
row(n, p) = {my(c = Vecrev(p)); c};

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-3834399f2c7d3d36
  • 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-3834399f2c7d3d36
  • 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-3834399f2c7d3d36
  • Interlacing of consecutive rows. Rows P_(m-1), P_m interlace (weak, previous interlaces next) for every m >= 1
    The roots of consecutive polynomials alternate on the real line.
    by the cited steps: e-3834399f2c7d3d36
