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
Numbers n for which y(n,-x)=y(n,x): 1,4,5,8,26,...
Numbers n for which y(n,-x)=-y(n,x): 2,11,13,20,...
