FORMULA
a(n) = 7*a(n-1)-15*a(n-2)+11*a(n-3).
G.f.: -x^2/(11*x^3-15*x^2+7*x-1). [Colin Barker, Jul 27 2012]
EXAMPLE
The first five polynomials p(n,x) and their reductions:
p(1,x)=1 -> 1
p(2,x)=x+2 -> x+2
p(3,x)=x^2+4x+4 -> x^2+1
p(4,x)=x^3+6x^2+12x+8 -> x^2+4x+4
p(5,x)=x^4+8x^3+24x^2+32x+16 -> 7x^2+13*x+9, so that
A192798=(1,2,4,9,25,...), A192799=(0,1,4,13,42,...), A192800=(0,0,1,7,34,...).
