%F A123516 From _Peter Bala_, Aug 09 2024: (Start)
%F A123516 The polynomial P(n, x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} T(n, k)*x^(n-k) satisfies the functional equation P(n, 1 - x) = (-1)^n*P(n, x).
%F A123516 P(n, x) = (2*n - 1)*(2*x - 1)*P(n-1, x) + 4*(n - 1)^2*x*(1 - x)*P(n-2, x) with P(0, x) = 1 and P(1, x) = 2*x - 1.
%F A123516 P(n, 1/2) = A177145(n+1); P(n, -1/2) = (-1)^n*A331817(n).
%F A123516 Conjecture 1: for n >= 1, the zeros of P(n, x) lie on the vertical line Re(x) = 1/2 in the complex plane; that is, the family of polynomials {P(n, x) : n >= 1} satisfies a Riemann hypothesis.
%F A123516 Set u = x^2 and define p(n, u) = P(n, 1/2 + x) if n is even, else p(n, x) = (1/x)* P(n, 1/2 + x). The first few polynomials are p(0, u) = 1, p(1, u) = 2, p(2, u) = 8*u + 1, p(3, u) = 48*u + 18 and p(4, u) = 384*u^2 + 288*u + 9.
%F A123516 Conjecture 2: for n >= 2, the zeros of p(n+1, u) are negative and interlace the zeros of p(n, u). (End)
