A generating function for the polynomials PB_n[b_2,b_4,..,b_(2n)] of this array is
exp[b_2 y^2/2 + b_4 y^4/4 + b_6 y^6/6 + ...] = Sum_{n >= 0} PB_n y^(2n) /
A000165(n) = Sum_{n >= 0} St1[2n,0,b_2,0,b_4,0,..,b_(2n)] y^(2n) / (2n)! = Sum_{n >= 0} PB_n *(y/sqrt(2))^(2n) / n! with b_n = Tr(F^n), as in the examples, and St1(n,b_1,b_2,..,b_n), the partition polynomials of
A036039. Then St1[2n,0,b_2,0,b_4,..,0,b_(2n)] =
A001147(n) * PB_n.
The polynomials PC_n(c_1,c_2,..,c_n) of this array with c_k = b_(2k) are an Appell sequence in the indeterminate c_1 with lowering operator L = d/d(c_1), i.e., L*PC_n(c_1,..,c_n) = d(PC_n)/d(c_1) = n * PC_(n-1)[c_1,..,c_(n-1)].
With [PC.(c_1,c_2,..)]^n = PC_n(c_1,..,c_n), the e.g.f. is G(t,c_1,c_2,..) = exp[t*PC.(0,c_2,c_3,..)] * exp(t*c_1) = exp{t*[c_1 + PC.(0,c_2,c_3,..)]} = exp[t*PC.(c_1,c_2,..)] = exp[(1/2) * sum_{n > 0} c_n (2t)^n/n ] = exp[-log(1-2c.t) / 2], where, umbrally, (c.)^n = c_n.
The raising operator is R = d[log(G(L,c_1,c_2,..))]/dL = sum_{n >= 0} 2^n * c_(n+1) * (d/dc_1)^n = c./(1-2c.L), umbrally. R PC_n(c_1,..,c_n) = P_(n+1)[c_1,..,c_(n+1)].
Another generator: G(L,0,c_2,c_3,..) (c_1)^n = PC_n(c_1,c_2,..,c_n).
The Appell umbral compositional inverse sequence UPC_n to the PC_n sequence has e.g.f. UG(t,c_1,c_2,..) = [1 / G(t,0,c_2,c_3,..)] * exp(t*c_1) with lowering operator L, as above, and raising operator RU = c_1 - sum_{n > 0} 2^n * c_(n+1) * (d/dc_1)^n. It follows that UPC_n(c_1,c_2,..,c_n) = PC_n(c_1,-c_2,..,-c_n) and PC_n(PC.(c_1,c_2,..),-c_2,-c_3,..) = PC_n(PC.(c_1,-c_2,-c_3,..),c_2,c_3,..) = (c_1)^n, e.g., PC_2(PC.(c_1,-c_2,..),c_2) = 2 c_2 + (PC.(c_1,-c_2,..))^2 = 2 c_2 + PC_2(c_1,-c_2) = 2 c_2 + 2 (-c_2) + (c_1)^2 = (c_1)^2.
Letting c_1 = x and all other c_n = 1 gives the row polynomials of
A055140.
