Formula

Conjecture: O.g.f: 8*x^5*(1+x)*(12*x^4+24*x^3-2*x^2-16*x+5)/(2*x^2+2*x-1)^4. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 22 2009

Example

The first 6 nu polynomials are nu(0)=1, nu(1)=2, nu(2)=6, nu(3)=16+4q, nu(4)=44+20q+12q^2, nu(5)=120+80q+64q^2+40q^3+8q^4, so the coefficients of q^1 are 0,0,0,0,0,40.

Maple

nu := proc(b, lambda, n) global q; local qp, i ; if n = 0 then RETURN(1) ; elif n =1 then RETURN(b) ; fi ; qp:=0 ; for i from 0 to n-2 do qp := qp + q^i ; od ; RETURN( b*nu(b, lambda, n-1)+lambda*qp*nu(b, lambda, n-2)) ; end: A074360 := proc(n) RETURN( coeftayl(nu(2, 2, n), q=0, 3) ) ; end: for n from 0 to 30 do printf("%d, ", A074360(n)) ; od ; # R.

Mathematica

nu[0] = 1; nu[1] = 2; nu[n_] := nu[n] = 2*nu[n - 1] + 2*Total[q^Range[0, n - 2]]*nu[n - 2] // Expand;
a[n_] := Coefficient[nu[n], q, 3];
