Let phi_(D,rho) be the average value of a generic degree D monic polynomial f when evaluated at the roots of the rho-th derivative of f, expressed as a polynomial in the averaged symmetric polynomials in the roots of f [Wojnar et al., 2017]. The "last" term of phi_(D,rho) is a multiple of the product of all roots of f; the coefficient is expressible as a polynomial h_D(N) in N:=D-rho. These polynomials are of the form h_D(N) = ((-1)^D/(D-1)!)(D-N)N^chi(D)*g_D(N) where chi(D) := (1 if D is odd, 0 if D is even) and g_D(N) is a monic polynomial of degree (D-2-chi). The coefficients of the g_D(N) are polynomials in D of the form k_n(D) = (1/Q(n))(D+t(n))^delta(n)D^chi(n+1)u_n(D) where Q(n) = A053657(n), t(n):=2 ceiling(n/2)+1, delta(n):= (1 if n is odd, 2 if n is even). For odd n, the leading coefficients of u_n(D) are a((n+1)/2). - Gregory Gerard Wojnar, Jul 17 2017
