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) = 1 + 3 x, u = p(2,x), and v = 2 - x^2.
p(n,x) = k*(b^n - c^n), where k = -1/sqrt(9 + 6 x + 5 x^2), b = (1/2) (3 x + 1 - 1/k), c = (1/2) (3 x + 1 + 1/k).
EXAMPLE
First eight rows:
1
1 3
3 6 8
5 21 25 21
11 48 101 90 55
21 123 290 414 300 144
43 282 850 1416 1551 954 377
85 657 2255 4671 6109 5481 2939 987
Row 4 represents the polynomial p(4,x) = 5 + 21 x + 25 x^2 + 21 x^3, so (T(4,k)) = (5,21,25,21), k=0..3.
MATHEMATICA
