Comments

The titular polynomials are defined recursively: p(n,x) = x*p(n-1,x) + 3n - 2, with p(0,x)=1. For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2 -> x+1, see A192232 and A192744.

Formula

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - a(n-3) + a(n-4).

From R. J. Mathar, May 08 2014: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1 -x +3*x^2)/((1-x-x^2)*(1-x)^2).

a(n) - a(n-1) = A192746(n-2). (End)

a(n) = 4*Fibonacci(n+2) - (3*n+4). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 12 2019
