%N Constant term of the reduction by x^2->x+1 of the polynomial p(n,x) = 1 + x^n + x^(2n).

%C For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2->x+1, see A192232. The coefficient of x in the reduction by x^2->x+1 of the polynomial p(n,x) = 1 + x^n + x^(2n) is 2*A051450.

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

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

%e p(2,x) = 1 + x^2 + x^4 -> 4 + 4x

%e p(3,x) = 1 + x^3 + x^6 -> 7 + 10x

%e p(4,x) = 1 + x^4 + x^8 -> 16 + 24x.

%e From these, read

%e A192464 = (2, 4, 7, 16, ...) and 2*A051450 = (2, 4, 10, 24, ...).
