Comments

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.

Examples

			First eight rows:
    1
    2    3
    5   10    8
   12   34   38    21
   29  104  161   130    55
   70  305  592   654   420  144
  169  866 2023  2788  2436 1308  377
  408 2404 6556 10810 11756 8574 3970 987
Row 4 represents the polynomial p(4,x) = 12 + 34*x + 38*x^2 + 21*x^3, so (T(4,k)) = (12,34,38,21), k=0..3.

Programs

Mathematica

p[1, x_] := 1; p[2, x_] := 2 + 3 x; u[x_] := p[2, x]; v[x_] := 1 - 2 x - x^2;
p[n_, x_] := Expand[u[x]*p[n - 1, x] + v[x]*p[n - 2, x]]
Grid[Table[CoefficientList[p[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}]]
Flatten[Table[CoefficientList[p[n, x], x], {n, 1, 10}]]

Formula

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

p(n,x) = k*(b^n - c^n), where k = -(1/sqrt(8 + 4*x + 5*x^2)), b = (1/2)*(3*x + 2 + 1/k), c = (1/2)*(3*x + 2 - 1/k).
