Comments

The polynomials are scaled by a factor of n!*2^n to ensure integer coefficients. When evaluated at x = k, they give the number of non-isomorphic k-colorings of the n-hypercube graph under the automorphism group of the graph. The size of the automorphism group is n!*2^n. Colors may not be interchanged.

Example

Triangle begins:
  0 | 1, 0;
  1 | 1, -1, 0;
  2 | 1, -2, 3, -2, 0;
  3 | 1, -12, 72, -256, 579, -812, 644, -216, 0;
  ...
The corresponding polynomials are:
  x;
  (x^2 - x)/(1!*2^1);
  (x^4 - 2*x^3 + 3*x^2 - 2*x)/(2!*2^2);
  (x^8 - 12*x^7 + 72*x^6 - 256*x^5 + 579*x^4 - 812*x^3 + 644*x^2 - 216*x)/(3!*2^3);
  ...
The polynomial (x^4 - 2*x^3 + 3*x^2 - 2*x)/(2!*2^2) gives A002817 when evaluated at integer values of x.
