COMMENT

T(n)=S(1)*S(2)*...*S(n-1). The degree of S(n) in x is m=2^(n-1), so that the

degree of T(n) is m-1. Write the zeros of T(n) as r(1)<r(2)<...<r(m-1)

and the zeros of S(n) as z(1)<z(2)<...<z(m). Then

z(1)<r(1)<z(2)<r(2)<...<r(m-1)<z(m); i.e., the zeros of T(n) intersperse the

zeros of S(n).

FORMULA

The basic idea is to iterate the reciprocation-difference mapping

x/y -> x/y-y/x. Let x be an indeterminate, S(1)=x, T(1)=1 and for n>1,

define S(n)=S(n-1)^2-T(n-1)^2 and T(n)=S(n-1)*T(n-1), so that

S(n)/T(n)=S(n-1)/T(n-1)-T(n-1)/S(n-1).

EXAMPLE

T(1)=1

T(2)=x

T(3)=x^3-x

T(4)=x^7-4*x^5+4*x^3-x
