%N Triangular array T(n,k), read by rows: coefficients of strong divisibility sequence of polynomials p(1,x) = 1, p(2,x) = 1 + 3*x, p(n,x) = u*p(n-1,x) + v*p(n-2,x) for n >= 3, where u = p(2,x), v = 1 - 3*x - x^2.

%C Because (p(n,x)) is a strong divisibility sequence, for each integer k, the sequence (p(n,k)) is a strong divisibility sequence of integers.

%F p(n,x) = u*p(n-1,x) + v*p(n-2,x) for n >= 3, where p(1,x) = 1, p(2,x) = 1 + 3*x, u = p(2,x), and v = 1 - 3*x - x^2.

%F p(n,x) = k*(b^n - c^n), where k = -1/sqrt(5 - 6*x + 5*x^2), b = (1/2)*(3*x + 1 - 1/k), c = (1/2)*(2*x + 1 + 1/k).
