cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A327321 Triangular array read by rows: row n shows the coefficients of the polynomial p(x,n) constructed as in Comments; these polynomials form a strong divisibility sequence.

Suppose q is a rational number such that the number r = sqrt(q) is irrational. The function (r x + r)^n - (r x - 1/r)^n of x can be represented as k*p(x,n), where k is a constant and p(x,n) is a product of nonconstant polynomials having gcd = 1; the sequence p(x,n) is a strong divisibility sequence of polynomials; i.e., gcd(p(x,h),p(x,k)) = p(x,gcd(h,k)). For A327320, r = sqrt(3). If x is an integer, then p(x,n) is a strong divisibility sequence of integers.

Examples

			p(x,3) = (1/k)((4 (7 + 18 x + 27 x^2))/(3 sqrt(3))), where k = 4/(3 sqrt(3)).
