%N Coefficient of x in the reduction by x^2->x+2 of the polynomial p(n,x) defined below in Comments.

%C The polynomial p(n,x) is defined by recursively by p(n,x)=(x+2n)*p(n-1,x) with p[0,x]=x. For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2->x+2, see A192232.

%C Let transform T take the sequence {b(n), n>=1} to the sequence {c(n)} defined by: c(n) = det(M_n), where M_n denotes the n X n matrix with elements M_n(i,j) = b(2*j) for i>j and M_n(i,j) = b(i+j-1) for i<=j. Conjecture: a(n) = abs(c(n+1)), where c(n) denotes transform T of triangular numbers (A000217). - _Lechoslaw Ratajczak_, Jul 26 2021

%F a(n) = (1/3)*(2^(n+1)*(n+1)! + (2n-1)!!). - _Vaclav Potocek_, Feb 04 2016

%e The first four polynomials p(n,x) and their reductions are as follows:

%e p(0,x)=x -> x

%e p(1,x)=x(2+x) -> 2+3x

%e p(2,x)=x(2+x)(4+x) -> 14+17x

%e p(3,x)=x(2+x)(4+x)(6+x) -> 118+133x.

%e From these, read

%e A192457=(1,2,14,118,...) and A192459=(1,3,17,133,...)
