Comments

Define S(1)=S(1,x)=x and T(1)=T(1,x)=1; for n>=1, define S(n+1)=[S(n)]^2-[T(n)]^2 and T(n+1)=c*S(n)*T(n). The sole value of c for which S(n) is the square of a polynomial for all n>=3 is 2i, and [H(n,x)]^2 = S(n,x).

Formula

H(3,x)=x^2+1 and H(n+1,x)=[(2*i*x)^p]*H(n,i/(2*x)-ix/2) for n>=3, where p=2^n-2 and i=sqrt(-1).

H(n,x)=2*H(n-2,x)^4-H(n-1,x)^2. [Clark Kimberling, Mar 19 2009]

Example

H(3,x)=x^2+1 and S(3,x)=(x^2+1)^2.
H(4,x)=x^4-6*x^2+1
H(6,x)=x^8+20*x^6-26*x^4+20*x^2+1.

1 0 1
