COMMENT

1. Q(n,1)=A073834(n) for n>=1.

2. For n>=3, Q(n)=Q(n,x)=i*T(n,i*x), where T(n) is the polynomial at A147986.

Thus all the zeros of Q(n,x), for n>=2, are nonreal.

FORMULA

The basic idea is to iterate the reciprocation-sum mapping

x/y -> x/y+y/x. Let x be an indeterminate, P(1)=x, Q(1)=1 and for n>1,

define P(n)=P(n-1)^2+Q(n-1)^2 and Q(n)=P(n-1)*Q(n-1), so that

P(n)/Q(n)=P(n-1)/Q(n-1)-Q(n-1)/P(n-1).

EXAMPLE

Q(1)=1

Q(2)=x

Q(3)=x^3+x

Q(4)=x^7+4*x^5+4*x^3+1

so that as an array A147988 begins with

1

1 0

1 0 1 0

1 0 4 0 4 0 1
