COMMENTS
| f_n(x) has the property that whenever (a,b) is a pair of complex numbers satisfying 2ab = a^2 + 2a + b^2 + 2b, we have f_n(a) + f_n(b) = 2(a^n - b^n)/(a-b) (interpreted as 2na^(n-1) if a=b). Using the pairs (0,0), (0,-2), (-2,-6), (-6,-12), (-12,-20)... this enables us to successively deduce the values of f_n(0), f_n(-2),... (and this of course determines f_n(x)). There may be no simpler characterization.
