Formula

Conjecture: O.g.f.: 3*x^5*(3*x+1)*(36*x^4+24*x^3-29*x^2-14*x+10)/(3*x^2+x-1)^4. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 22 2009

Example

The first 6 nu polynomials are nu(0)=1, nu(1)=1, nu(2)=4, nu(3)=7+3q, nu(4)=19+15q+12q^2, nu(5)=40+45q+42q^2+30q^3+9q^4, so the coefficients of q^3 are 0,0,0,0,0,30.

Maple

nu := proc(b, lambda, n) global q; local qp, i ; if n = 0 then RETURN(1) ; elif n =1 then RETURN(b) ; fi ; qp:=0 ; for i from 0 to n-2 do qp := qp + q^i ; od ; RETURN( b*nu(b, lambda, n-1)+lambda*qp*nu(b, lambda, n-2)) ; end: A074357 := proc(n) RETURN( coeftayl(nu(1, 3, n), q=0, 3) ) ; end: for n from 0 to 30 do printf("%d, ", A074357(n)) ; od ; # R.
