For v>=1 the orthogonal polynomials p(n,v,x) have v integer zeros k*(k-1), k=1..v, for every n>=v. These zeros are from 2*A000217.

Coefficients of p(n,v=2,x) (in the quoted Bruschi et al. paper p^{(\nu)}_n(x) of eqs. (4) and (8a),(8b)) in increasing powers of x.

The v-family p(n,v,x) consists of characteristic polynomials of the tridiagonal M x M matrix V=V(M,v) with entries V_{m,n} given by v*(v-1)-(m-1)^2 - (v-m)^2 if n=m, m=1,...,M;(m-1)^2 if n=m-1, m=2,...,M; (v-m)^2 if n=m+1, m=1..M-1 and 0 else. p(n,v,x):=det(x*I_n-V(n,v) with the n dimensional unit matrix I_n.

The column sequences give A019590, A129464, A129465, A129466 for m=0,1,2,3.

p(n,v=2,x) has, for every n>=2, simple zeros for integers x=0 and x=2. p(2,2,x) has therefore only integer zeros 0 and 2. det(V(n,2))=0 for every n>=2.

a(n,m)=[x^m]p(n,1,x), n>=0, with the three term recurrence for orthogonal polynomial systems of the form p(n,v,x) = (x+2*(n-1)^2-2*(v-1)*(n-1)-v+1)*p(n-1,v,x) -(n-1)^2*(n-1-v)^2*p(n-2,v,x), n>=1; p(-1,v,x)=0 and p(0,v,x)=1. Put v=2 here.

Recurrence: a(n,m) = a(n-1,m-1)+(2*(n-1)^2-2*(v-1)*(n-1)-v+1)*a(n-1,m) -((n-1)^2*(n-1-v)^2)*a(n-2, m); a(n,m)=0 if n<m, a(-1,m):=0, a(0,0)=1, a(n,-1)=0. Put v=2 for this triangle.

Row n=2: [0,-2,1]. p(2,2,x)=x*(x-2).

Row n=5: [0,-720,-204,208,35,1]. p(5,2,x)= x*(-720 -204*x+208*x^2+35*x^3+1*x^4)= x*(x-2)*(360+282*x+37*x^2+x^3).
