In mathematics, Padovan polynomials are a generalization of Padovan sequence numbers. These polynomials are defined by: The first few Padovan polynomials are: The Padovan numbers are recovered by evaluating the polynomials Pn-3(x) at x = 1. Evaluating Pn-3(x) at x = 2 gives the nth Fibonacci number plus (-1)n. {{OEIS|id=A008346}} The ordinary generating function for the sequence is See also 1 : Polynomials |
