COMMENTS

A new 4 symbol polynomial of the Weaver telegraphic type ( simplified) : dot:x; dash:x^3; Letter space: x^2 ; Word space: x^4 ; p(y)=-1 - 2 y^2 - 2 y^4 - y^6 + y^7.

An alternative set of symbols would be:

dot:x;

dash:x^2;

Letter space: x^3 ;

Word space: x^4 ;

EXAMPLE

Weaver determinant:

Expand[FullSimplify[ExpandAll[y^7 *Det[{{-1, (1/y^3 + 1/y)}, {(1/y^4 + 1/y^2),1/y + 1/y^3 - 1}}]]]].

MATHEMATICA

p[y_] = -1 - 2 y^2 - 2 y^4 - y^6 + y^7; q[x_] = ExpandAll[x^13*p[1/x]]; a = Table[SeriesCoefficient[Series[1/q[x], {x, 0, 30}], n], {n, 0, 30}]
