COMMENTS

The array contains the coefficients for a normalized Schwarzian: Schw(g(x)) = S(f) = (x^2/6) { D^2 ln(f(x)) - (1/2) [D ln(f(x))]^2} with f(x)= g'(x) = 1 / [1 - c(.) x]^2 = 1 + 2 c(1) x + 3 c(2) x^2 + ....

S(f(x)) = P(2,c) x^2 + P(3,c) x^3 + P(4,c) x^4 + ..., where P(n,c) are the Neretin polynomials with an additional factor of 2.

For proof of integrality of coefficients see MathOverflow link.

EXAMPLE

.. P(0,c) = 0

.. P(1,c) = 0

.. P(2,c) = c(2) - c(1)^2

.. P(3,c) = 4 c(3) - 8 c(2)c(1) + 4 c(1)^3 = 4 3' - 8 2'1' + 4 1'^3

.. P(4,c) = 10 4' - 20 3'1' - 12 2'^2 + 34 2'1'^2 - 12 1'^4

.. P(5,c) = 20 5' - 40 1'4' - 52 2'3' + 72 3'1'^2 + 84 2'^2 1'- 116 2'1'^3 + 32 1'^5

The partitions are arranged in the order of those of Abramowitz and Stegun on pg. 831.
