COMMENTS
The titular polynomials are defined recursively: p(n,x) = x*p(n-1,x) + 1 + 2*n^2, with p(0,x)=1. For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2 -> x+1, see A192232 and A192744.
FORMULA
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 5*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 2*a(n-4) - a(n-5).
G.f.: x*(1+3*x^2)/((1-x-x^2)*(1-x)^3). - R. J. Mathar, May 11 2014
a(n) = Fibonacci(n+7) + Lucas(n+3) - 2*n*(n+4) - 17. - Ehren Metcalfe, Jul 14 2019
