For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2->x+1, see A192232.
FORMULA
Empirical G.f.: -x*(x^3-3*x^2-3*x+2)/((x^2-3*x+1)*(x^2+x-1)). - Colin Barker, Nov 12 2012
a(n) = F(2n) + F(n+1), where F(n) is A000045. - Carl Najafi, May 06 2014
EXAMPLE
The first four polynomials p(n,x) and their reductions are as follows:
p(1,x)=1+2x^2 -> 3+2x
p(2,x)=1+x^3+x^4 -> 4+5x
p(3,x)=1+x^4+x^6 -> 8+11x
p(4,x)=1+x^5+x^8 -> 17+26x.
From these, read
A192474=(3,4,8,17,...) and A192475=(2,5,11,26,...)
