Triangular array T(n,k), read by rows: coefficients of strong divisibility sequence of polynomials p(1,x) = 1, p(2,x) = 1 + 3*x, p(n,x) = u*p(n-1,x) + v*p(n-2,x) for n >= 3, where u = p(2,x), v = 3 - 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) = 1 + 3*x, u = p(2,x), and v = 3 - x^2.
p(n,x) = k*(b^n - c^n), where k = -1/sqrt(13 + 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
4 6 8
7 27 25 21
19 66 126 90 55
40 204 392 504 300 144
97 522 1363 1884 1851 954 377
217 1425 4065 7281 8011 6435 2939 987
Row 4 represents the polynomial p(4,x) = 7 + 27*x + 25*x^2 + 21*x^3, so (T(4,k)) = (7,27,25,21), k=0..3.
