Let $n$ integer $\geq 2$ ( or suffisemment big) fixed and for $ x$ real, let $$P_n(x)=\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} C_{n+k}^n (-x)^k \alpha_{n,k}$$ and where $\forall k$ such that $ 0 \leq k \leq n-1 $ $$ \alpha_{n,k}= \displaystyle \sum_{p=1}^{n-k} \displaystyle C_{n}^{n-k-p} \frac{(-1)^{p+1}}{p}$$. NUMERICALY i have found the following: $ \forall 2 \leq n \leq 10 $ , $$\max_{[0,1]} |P_n(x)|=|P_n(0)|=\sum_{j=1}^{n} \frac{1}{j}$$ Is there an article about $P_n$ or similar polynom? i need a proof that it's true $\forall n \geq 2 $. i have noticed NUMERICALLY too that $P_n(x)=(-1)^{n+1}P_{n}(1-x)$ and $P_n$ have exactelly $n-1$ zeros over $]0,1[$ . ALL this properties are very similar to those of Legendre polynomial: $L_n(x)=\displaystyle \frac{1}{n!}(x^n(1-x)^n)^{(n)}$ I suppose that the family of $P_n$ are orthogonal but i don't know to what, and may be satisfy a recurrence relation... if any one suggest an idea for (the proof that i suppose true) thanks for his help i'm looking too for an integral representation of type $ \int_{0}^1 f^n(t).g(t)dt$ for $P_n(x), 0<x<1$ bur it's not very important for me, what interess me the most is the maximum od$ P_n$ over $[0,1]$
