Suppose that p=p(0)*x^n+p(1)*x^(n-1)+...+p(n-1)*x+p(n) is a polynomial of positive degree and that Q is a sequence of polynomials: q(k,x)=t(k,0)*x^k+t(k,1)*x^(k-1)+...+t(k,k-1)*x+t(k,k), for k=0,1,2,... The Q-downstep of p is the polynomial given by D(p)=p(0)*q(n-1,x)+p(1)*q(n-2,x)+...+p(n-1)*q(0,x)+p(n).
Since degree(D(p))<degree(p), the result of n applications of D is a constant, which we call the Q-residue of p. If p is a constant to begin with, we define D(p)=p.
Example: let p(x)=2*x^3+3*x^2+4*x+5 and q(k,x)=(x+1)^k.
D(p)=2(x+1)^2+3(x+1)+4(1)+5=2x^2+7x+14
D(D(p))=2(x+1)+7(1)+14=2x+23
D(D(D(p)))=2(1)+23=25;
the Q-residue of p is 25.
We may regard the sequence Q of polynomials as the triangular array formed by coefficients:
t(0,0)
t(1,0)....t(1,1)
t(2,0)....t(2,1)....t(2,2)
t(3,0)....t(3,1)....t(3,2)....t(3,3)
and regard p as the vector (p(0),p(1),...,p(n)). If P is a sequence of polynomials [or triangular array having (row n)=(p(0),p(1),...,p(n))], then the Q-residues of the polynomials form a numerical sequence.
Following are examples in which Q is the triangle given by t(i,j)=1 for 0<=i<=j:

Changing the notation slightly leads to the Mathematica program below and the following formulation for the Q-downstep of p: first, write t(n,k) as q(n,k). Define r(k)=Sum{q(k-1,i)*r(k-1-i) : i=0,1,...,k-1} Then row n of D(p) is given by v(n)=Sum{p(n,k)*r(n-k) : k=0,1,...,n}.

EXAMPLE
First five rows of Q, coefficients of Fibonacci polynomials (A049310):
1
1...0
1...0...1
1...0...2...0
1...0...3...0...1
To obtain a(4)=15, downstep four times:
D(x^4+3*x^2+1)=(x^3+x^2+x+1)+3(x+1)+1: (1,1,4,5) [coefficients]
DD(x^4+3*x^2+1)=D(1,1,4,5)=(1,2,11)
DDD(x^4+3*x^2+1)=D(1,2,11)=(1,14)
DDDD(x^4+3*x^2+1)=D(1,14)=15.
