COMMENTS
The polynomials y(k,x) range through all monic polynomials with coefficients in {-1,0,1}, ordered as at A206821.
EXAMPLE
The first 13 polynomials:
1 .... 1
2 .... x
3 .... x + 1
4 .... x^2
5 .... x^2 - 1
6 .... x^2 - x
7 .... x^2 - x - 1
8 .... x^2 + 1
9 .... x^2 + x
10 ... x^2 + x + 1
11 ... x^3
12 ... x^3 - 1
13 ... x^3 - x
The list exemplifies these sequences:
A207187 (multiples of x + 1): 3,5,9,13,...
A207188 (multiples of x): 2,4,6,9,11,13,...
A207189 (multiples of x - 1): 5,6,12,13,...
A207190 (multiples of x^2 + 1): 8,20,25,27,...
