COMMENTS

At the same time that I introduced the polynomials P(n,x) defined by P(0,x)=1 and for n>0, P(n,x)=((-1)^n)/(n+1) + x*Sum_{ i=0..n-1 } [(((-1)^i)/(i+1))*P(n-1-i,x)] (Gazette des Mathematiciens 1992), I gave the generalization P(0,x)=u(0), P(n,x) = u(n) + x*Sum_{ i=0..n-1 } u(i)*P(n-1-i,x).

For u(n), n>=0, = 1 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... the array of coefficients of the polynomials P(n,x) is:

1

1 1

1 2 1

2 3 3 1

3 6 6 4 1

4 11 13 10 5 1

5 18 27 24 15 6 1

6 28 51 55 40 21 7 1

whose row sums are the present sequence.

The alternating row sums are are 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 ...

The antidiagonal sums are : 1 1 2 4 7 13 23 41 73 ...

The first column of the inverse matrix is 1 -1 1 -2 5 -11 25 -63 ...
