Triangular array T(n,k), read by rows: coefficients of strong divisibility sequence of polynomials p(1,x) = 1, p(2,x) = 2 + 5*x, p(n,x) = u*p(n-1,x) + v*p(n-2,x) for n >= 3, where u = p(2,x), v = 1 - 2*x - x^2.

COMMENTS
Because (p(n,x)) is a strong divisibility sequence, for each integer k, the sequence (p(n,k)) is a strong divisibility sequence of integers.

FORMULA
p(n,x) = u*p(n-1,x) + v*p(n-2,x) for n >= 3, where p(1,x) = 1, p(2,x) = 2 + 5*x, u = p(2,x), and v = 1 - 2*x - x^2.
p(n,x) = k*(b^n - c^n), where k = -(1/sqrt(8 + 12*x + 21*x^2)), b = (1/2) (5*x + 2 + 1/k), c = (1/2) (5*x + 2 - 1/k).
EXAMPLE
First eight rows:
1
2 5
5 18 24
12 62 126 115
29 192 545 794 551
70 567 2040 4114 4716 2640
169 1618 7047 17940 28420 26964 12649
408 4508 23020 70582 140988 185122 150122 60605
Row 4 represents the polynomial p(4,x) = 12 + 62*x + 126*x^2 + 115*x^3, so (T(4,k)) = (12,62,126,115), k=0..3.
