COMMENTS
Suppose q is a rational number such that the number r = sqrt(q) is irrational. The function (r x + r)^n - (r x - 1/r)^n of x can be represented as k*p(x,n), where k is a constant and p(x,n) is a product of nonconstant polynomials having gcd = 1; the sequence p(x,n) is a strong divisibility sequence of polynomials; i.e., gcd(p(x,h),p(x,k)) = p(x,gcd(h,k)). For A327320, r = sqrt(2). If x is an integer, then p(x,n) is a strong divisibility sequence of integers.

EXAMPLE
p(x,3) = (1/k)(9 (1 + 2 x + 4 x^2))/(2 sqrt(2)), where k = 9/(2 sqrt(2)).

The first six polynomials, not factored:
1, 1 + 4 x, 1 + 2 x + 4 x^2, 5 + 24 x + 24 x^2 + 32 x^3, 11 + 50 x + 120 x^2 + 80 x^3 + 80 x^4, 7 + 44 x + 100 x^2 + 160 x^3 + 80 x^4 + 64 x^5.
The first six polynomials, factored:
1, 1 + 4 x, 1 + 2 x + 4 x^2, (1 + 4 x) (5 + 4 x + 8 x^2), 11 + 50 x + 120 x^2 + 80 x^3 + 80 x^4, (1 + 4 x) (1 + 2 x + 4 x^2) (7 + 2 x + 4 x^2).
