A074248 Triangle of coefficients, read by rows of (2n+1) terms, where the n-th row forms a polynomial in x, P(n,x), of degree 2n and satisfies: P(n,x) = [Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(k + x + x^2)]*[Product_{k=1..n} (k + x + x^2)].

Comments

These polynomials have zeros at complex z_k such that real(z_k) = -1/2 for all 0 < k < (2n-1), n > 1. A pair of zeros that are complex rationals occur at n = 2k(k+1) and have the values z = -1/2 +- (2k+1)/2*i for k > 0. P(n,0) = Stirling numbers of the first kind and the product of all the zeros of P(n,x) equals P(n,0)/n!.
