%F From _Peter Bala_, Jul 01 2015: (Start)

%F P(n,x) = P(n,-2 - x) for n >= 2.

%F P(n+1,x)= P(n,(1 + x)^2). Thus if alpha is a zero of P(n,x) then sqrt(alpha) - 1 is a zero of P(n+1,x).

%F Define a sequence of polynomials Q(n,x) by setting Q(1,x) = 1 + x^2 and Q(n,x) = Q(n-1, 1 + x^2) for n >= 2. Then P(n,x) = Q(n,sqrt(x)).

%F Q(n,x) = Q(k,Q(n-k,x)) for 1 <= k <= n-1; P(n,x) = P(k,P(n-k,x)^2) for 1 <= k <= n - 1.

%F n-th row sum = P(n,1) = A003095(n+1);

%F P(n,1) = P(n+1,0) = P(n+1,-2); P(n,1) = P(n,-3) for n >= 2.

%F P(n,2) = A062013(n). (End)
