Does anyone know this sequence of polynomials?

A referee on a paper of mine showed me the following recurrence for polynomials $P_{n,k}\in\mathbb Q[q,q^{-1}]$ for $n\geq 0$ and $0\leq k\leq n/2$. \begin{align} P_{0,0}&=1\\ \text{for $n\geq 1$}...

On the polynomials $\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n+k}k^m q^k$

A sequence of polynomials $$P_0(q),\ P_1(q),\ P_2(q),\ \ldots$$ with real coefficients is called $q$-log-convex if for each $n=1,2,3,\ldots$ every coefficient of the polynomial $P_{n+1}(q)P_{n-1}(q)-...

Irreducibility of polynomials associated to binomial coefficients

Let $n \geq 2$. Let $M_n$ be the $(n+1) \times (n+1)$ matrix with entries $\binom{l}{k}$ for $0 \leq l,k \leq n$ and $U_n=M_n + M_n^T$ and let $f_n(x)$ denote the characteristic polynomial of $U_n$. ...

Flat polynomials with factors of big height

Let $p(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ with all coefficients in $\{-1,0,1\}$ (such polynomials are sometimes called flat). I am wondering how big the coefficients of a factor of $p$ can be. Call ...

polynomial approximation of hypergeometric function 2F1

I have the following function $T(k_1,k_2)$ resulting from multiphoton transition matrix elements calculations: $T(k_1,k_2)=\gamma^{-k_2}\sum_{j=0}^{k_1}(j+2)_{l+1}\binom{k_1}{j}(k_1+1)_3(\gamma-1)^{j}{...

Interlaced binomial expansion

For $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n < 1$ let $$f(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n) = \sum_{k_1,k_2,...,k_n = 1}^\infty \frac{(k_1 + k_2)!}{k_1! k_2!} \frac{(k_2 + k_3)!}{k_2! k_3!}\ldots \frac{(k_{n-1} + k_{n})!}{k_{n-1}! ...
