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 (n-3)*P(n,x) = (n-1+(4*n-16)*x)*P(n-1,x) + (2*x-8*x^2)*d/dx P(n-1,x) for n >= 4, with P(1,x) = 0, P(2,x) = 0, P(3,x) = 2.
%t Mathematica
P[1, x_] := 0;
P[2, x_] := 0;
P[3, x_] := 2;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[((n - 1 + (4*n - 16)*x)*P[n - 1, x] + (2*x - 8*x^2)*D[P[n - 1, x], x])/(n - 3)]];
Table[CoefficientList[P[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten
%o PARI/GP
P(N) = {my(v = vector(N)); v[1] = 0; v[2] = 0; v[3] = 2; for(n = 4, N, my(i = n); v[i] = ((n - 1 + (4*n - 16)*x)*v[i - 1] + (2*x - 8*x^2)*deriv(v[i - 1], x))/(n - 3)); v};

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-65da073036a5e795
  • 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-65da073036a5e795
  • 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-65da073036a5e795
