Wang, J.L. Gross, T. Mansour, T.W.

We show that every polynomial $W_n(x)$ is distinct-real-rooted, and that the roots of the polynomial $W_n(x)$ interlace the roots of the polynomial $W_{n-1}(x)$. We find that, as $n\\to\\infty$, the sequence of smallest roots of the polynomials $W_n(x)$ converges decreasingly to a real number, and that the sequence of largest roots converges increasingly to a real number.
