COMMENTS
Previous name: Table of coefficients of row polynomials of certain o.g.f.s.
The o.g.f.s G(k, x) for the k-family of sequences S(k, n):= Sum_{p=0..n} p^k*binomial(2*p, p)*binomial(2*(n-p), n-p), k=0,1,... (convolution of two sequences involving the central binomial coefficients) are 1/(1-4*x) for k=0 and 2*x*P(k, x)/(1-4*x)^(k+1) for k=1,2,..., with the row polynomials P(k, x) = Sum_{m=0..k-1} a(n,m)*x^m).
The author was led to compute the sums S(k, n) by a question asked by M. Greiter, Jun 27 2008.
In order to keep the index k>=1 of Sigma(k, n) also for the polynomials P(k, x), their degree is then k-1.

FORMULA
G(k, x) = Sum_{p=0..k} S2(k, p)*((2*p)!/p!)*x^p/(1-4*x)^(p+1), k >= 0 (here k >= 1), with the Stirling2 triangle S2(k, p):=A048993(k, p). (Proof from the product of the o.g.f.s of the two convoluted sequences and the normal ordering (x^d_x)^k = Sum_{p=0..k} S2(k, p)*x^p*d_x^p, with the derivative operator d_x.)
a(k,m) = [x^m]P(k, x) = [x^m] ((1-4*x)^(k+1))*G(k,x)/(2*x), k>=1, m=0,1,...,k-1.
For the triangle coefficients the following relation holds: T(n,m) = (m+1)*T(n-1,m) + (4*n-4*m-2)*T(n-1,m-1) with T(n,m=0) = 1 and T(n,m=n-1) = 2^(n-1), n >= 1 and 0 <= m <= n-1. - Johannes W. Meijer, Feb 20 2009
From Peter Bala, Jan 18 2018: (Start)
(x*d/dx)^n (1/(sqrt(1 - 4*x)) = 2*x*P(n,x)/sqrt(1 - 4*x)^(n+1/2) for n >= 1.
x*P(n,x)/(1 - 4*x)^(n+1/2) = (1/2)*Sum_{k >= 1} binomial(2*k,k)* k^n*x^k for n >= 1.
P(n+1,x) = ((4*n - 2)*x + 1)*P(n,x) - x*(4*x - 1)*d/dx(P(n,x)).
Hence the polynomial P(n,x) has all real zeros by Liu et al., Theorem 1.1, Corollary 1.2. (End)
