A 2nd order recursion with polynomial coefficients

I'm hoping to find "exact" an solution to the following simple recursion: $q_m(j+1) = m \cdot q_m(j) + j(j+m)\cdot q_m(j-1)$ with initial data $q_m(0) = 1$, $q_m(1)=m$, where $m \geq 0$ is an ...

Second order recurrence relation for third order polynomial root

Consider this recurrence relation: $$ \begin{eqnarray*} f_0&=&1\\ f_n&=& \sum_{m=0}^{n-1} \frac{\left(\frac{m+3}{2}\right)_{m-1}}{\left(\frac{m+2}{2}\right)_m} f_{n-m-1} f_m\ \ \ \...

Product of polynomial coefficients of a recurrence

A recurrence is given by $f[0]=2x$, $f[1]=3x^3-x^2+x+1$, $$ f[n]=(x^{2^n}+1)f[n-1]+(x^{2^n}+1)(x^{2^n-1}+1) $$ How does the PRODUCT of the nonzero coefficients of $f[n]$ scale with $n$?
