Unsigned row reverse of A123516.
The row polynomials also occur on repeated integration of 1/sqrt(x + x^2). See the example section.
FORMULA
T(n, k) = n! * 2^(2*k-n) * binomial(n, k) * binomial(2*n-2*k, n-k).
k*T(n, k) = (2*n^2)*T(n-1, k-1) for k >= 1 with T(n, 0) = (2*n - 1)!! = A001147(n).
T(n, 1) = 2*A161120(n).
T(n, n) = 2^n * n! = A000165(n); T(n+1, n) = 2^n * n! * (n+1)^2 = A014479(n);
T(n+2, n) = 3 * 2^(n-1)*(n+2)!*binomial(n+2, 2) = 3 * A286725(n).
More generally, T(n+r, n) = (2*r - 1)!! * A286724(n+r, r).
E.g.f.: Sum_{k >= 0} (1/2^k)*binomial(2*k, k)*t^k/(1 - 2*t*x)^(k+1) = 1 + (1 + 2*x)*t + (3 + 8*x + 8*x^2)*t^2/2! + (15 + 54*x + 72*x^2 + 48*x^3)*t^3/3! + ....
n-th row polynomial R(n, x) = (-2)^n*(x + x^2)^(n+1/2)*(d/dx)^n (1/sqrt(x + x^2)).
Recurrence for row polynomials:
R(n+1, x) = (2*x + 1)*(2*n + 1)*R(n, x) - 4*x*(x + 1)*n^2*R(n-1, x), with R(0, x) = 1.
R'(n, x) = 2*n^2 * R(n-1, x) for n >= 1.
Functional equation: R(n, -1 - x) = (-1)^n * R(n, x).
Conjecture: the zeros of the polynomial R(n, -x) lie on the vertical line Re(x) = 1/2 in the complex plane.
(-1)^n * x^n * R(n, (- 1 - x)/x) equals the n-th row polynomial of A123516.
(1 - x)^n * R(n, x/(1 - x)) equals the n-th row polynomial of A059366.
Let D denote the operator (1/x)*d/dx. Then D^(n+1)( arcsinh(x) ) = (-1)^n*R(n, x^2)/(x*sqrt(1 + x^2))^(2*n+1).
R(n, 1/2) = A331817(n); R(n, -1/2) = A177145(n+1);
(2^n) * R(n, 1/4) = A098461(n).
Alternating row sums R(n, -1) = (-1)^n * A001147(n).

Repeated integration of 1/f(x), where f(x) = sqrt(x + x^2):
Let I denote the integral operator h(x) -> Integral_{t = 0..x) h(t) dt.
Let g(x) = I(1/f(x)) = log(2*x + 1 + 2*f(x)). Then
(2^1 * 1!^2) * I^(2)(1/f(x)) = (2*x + 1)*g(x) - 2*f(x).
(2^2 * 2!^2) * I^(3)(1/f(x)) = (8*x^2 + 8*x + 3)*g(x) - 6*(2*x + 1)*f(x).
(2^3 * 3!^2) * I^(4)(1/f(x)) = (48*x^3 + 72*x^2 + 54*x + 15)*g(x) - 2*(44*x^2 + 44*x + 15)*f(x).
(2^4 * 4!^2) * I^(5)(1/f(x)) = (384*x^4 + 768*x^3 + 864*x^2 + 480*x + 105)*g(x) - 10*(2*x + 1)*(40*x^2 + 40*x + 21)*f(x).
