COMMENTS
The titular polynomial is defined by p(n,x) = (x^2)*p(n-1,x) + x*p(n-2,x), with p(0,x) = 1, p(1,x) = x. The resulting sequence typifies a general class which we shall describe here. Suppose that u,v,a,b,c,d,e,f are numbers used to define these polynomials:
...
q(x) = x^2
s(x) = u*x + v
p(0,x) = a, p(1,x) = b*x + c
p(n,x) = d*(x^2)*p(n-1,x) + e*x*p(n-2,x) + f.
...
We shall assume that u is not 0 and that {d,e} is not {0}. The reduction of p(n,x) by the repeated substitution q(x) -> s(x), as defined and described at A192232 and A192744, has the form h(n) + k(n)*x. The numerical sequences h and k are linear recurrence sequences, formally of order 5. The Mathematica program below, with first line deleted, shows initial terms and recurrence coefficients, which imply these properties:
(1) the recurrence coefficients depend only on u,v,d,e; the parameters a,b,c,f affect only the initial terms.
(2) if e=0 or v=0, the order of recurrence is <= 3;
(3) if e=0 and v=0, the recurrence coefficients are 1+d*u^2 and -d*u^2 (cf. similar results at A192872).

The terms of these sequences involve Fibonacci numbers, F(n)=A000045(n); e.g.,
A001906: even-indexed F(n)
A001519: odd-indexed F(n)
A103609: (1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,5,5,8,8,...)

FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + a(n-3) + a(n-4).
G.f.: (1-x)*(1-2*x-x^2)/(1-3*x-x^3-x^4). - Colin Barker, Aug 31 2012
EXAMPLE
The first six polynomials and reductions:
1 -> 1
x -> x
x + x^3 -> 1 + 3*x
x^2 + x^3 + x^5 -> 5 + 8*x
x^2 + 2*x^4 + x^5 + x^7 -> 16 + 25*x
x^3 + 2*x^4 + 3*x^6 + x^7 + x^9 -> 49 + 79*x, so that
A192904 = (1,0,1,5,16,49,...) and
A192905 = (0,1,3,8,25,79,...)
