COMMENT

P(n,x) is a sequence of polynomials of degree n with integer coefficients, having exactly n real roots, such that r(n) the smallest root (in absolute value) converges quickly to Pi/2. e.g. the appropriate root for P(5,x) is r(5)=1.5707963(4026....) . It is relevant to note that P(n,-Pi/2)^2/(r(n)-Pi/2) --> infinity as n grows.

FORMULA

P(0, x)=1, P(1, x)=x+2, P(n, x)=(4*n-2)*P(n-1, x)-x^2*P(n-2, x)

EXAMPLE

P(5,x)=x^5 + 30*x^4 - 420*x^3 - 3360*x^2 + 15120*x + 30240

PROGRAM

(PARI) P(n, x)=if(n<2, if(n%2, x+2, 1), (4*n-2)*P(n-1, x)-x^2*P(n-2, x))
