EXAMPLE
|
The 1st principal submatrix (ps) of A185957 is {{1}} (using Mathematica matrix notation), with p(1)=1-x and zero-set {1}.
...
The 2nd ps is {{1,3},{3,10}}, with p(2)=1-11x+x^2 and zero-set {0.091..., 10.908...}.
...
The 3rd ps is {{1,3,6},{3,10,21},{6,21,46}}, with p(3)=1-30x+57x^2-x^3 and zero-set {0.035..., 0.495..., 56.469...}.
...
