%N An Alexander sequence for the knot 9_48.
%C The denominator 1 -7*x +11*x^2 -7*x^3 +x^4 is a parameterization of the Alexander polynomial for the knot 9_48. 1/(1 -7*x +11*x^2 -7*x^3 +x^4) is the image of the g.f. of A099459 under the modified Chebyshev transform A(x) -> (1/(1+x^2)^2)*A(x/(1+x^2)).
