%F Formula
The row polynomials satisfy (n-3+2*x)*P(n,x) = ((n^3-4*n^2+5*n-2)*x+(2*n^2-6*n+4)*x^2)*P(n-2,x) for n >= 3, with P(1,x) = 1, P(2,x) = 0.
%t Mathematica
P[1, x_] := 1;
P[2, x_] := 0;
P[n_, x_] := P[n, x] = Expand[Together[(((n^3 - 4*n^2 + 5*n - 2)*x + (2*n^2 - 6*n + 4)*x^2)*P[n - 2, x])/(n - 3 + 2*x)]];
