Mysterious polynomial sequence












5














Can someone identify this polynomial sequence? Is it known in mathematics? I'm interested in various properties of this sequence.

I'd like to find $P(n)$, $nin mathbb{Z}^+$



begin{align}
P(0)&= 1\
P(1)&= a\
P(2)&= a^2+b\
P(3)&= a^3+2ab\
P(4)&= a^4+3a^2b+b^2\
P(5)&= a^5+4a^3b+3ab^2\
P(6)&= a^6+5a^4b+6a^2b^2+b^3\
P(7)&= a^7+6 a^5 b+10 a^3 b^2+4 a b^3\
P(8)&= a^8 + 7 a^6 b + 15 a^4 b^2 + 10 a^2 b^3 + b^4\
P(9)&= a^9 + 8 a^7 b + 21 a^5 b^2 + 20 a^3 b^3 + 5 a b^4\
P(10)&= a^{10} + 9 a^8 b + 28 a^6 b^2 + 35 a^4 b^3 + 15 a^2 b^4 + b^5
end{align}



More steps upon request.



I'll be grateful for any hints!

  • Have a look at Lucas sequences. I've a feeling you'll find a rich vein of material there. Is there some pair of polynomials in a,b you can substitute into $P,Q$ here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_sequence#Examples

Hint. Note that the following recurrence holds: for $ngeq 2$,
$$P(n)=aP(n-1)+bP(n-2).$$
They are related to the Fibonacci polynomials. The wiki page gives a list of properties. For example we have that
$$P(n)=sum_{k=0}^{lfloor n/2rfloor}binom{n-k}{k}a^{n-2k}b^k.$$

Папа Каллист III хотел назвать отца Жан Сорета, O.Carm., епископом или кардиналом, но он отказался, потому что хотел посвятить себя своему ордену и продвижению религиозного рвения и соблюдения устава монашеского ордена.
