Each partition of n, ordered as in Abramowitz-Stegun (A-St order; for the reference see A134278), is mapped to a nonnegative integer a(n,k)=:M32(-3;n,k) with the k-th partition of n in A-St order.

The sequence of row lengths is A000041 (partition numbers) [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 30, 42, ...].

a(n,k) enumerates special unordered forests related to the k-th partition of n in the A-St order. The k-th partition of n is given by the exponents enk =(e(n,k,1),...,e(n,k,n)) of 1,2,...n. The number of parts is m = sum(e(n,k,j),j=1..n). The special (enk)-forest is composed of m rooted increasing (r+2)-ary trees if the outdegree is r >= 0.

If M32(-3;n,k) is summed over those k with fixed number of parts m one obtains triangle A000369(n,m) = |S2(-3;n,m)|, a generalization of Stirling numbers of the second kind. For S2(K;n,m), K from the integers, see the reference under A035342.

Also third column (m=3) of triangle A049029 (S2(5)).

Each partition of n, ordered as in Abramowitz-Stegun (A-St order; for the reference see A134278), is mapped to a nonnegative integer a(n,k) =: M32hat(-3;n,k) with the k-th partition of n in A-St order.

The sequence of row lengths is A000041 (partition numbers) [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 30, 42,...].

If M32hat(-3;n,k) is summed over those k with fixed number of parts m one obtains triangle S2hat(-3):= A144280(n,m).

a(n-1), n >= 1, enumerates increasing plane (a.k.a. ordered) trees with n vertices (one of them a root labeled 1) with one version of a vertex with out-degree r = 0 (a leaf or a root) and each vertex with out-degree r >= 1 comes in binomial(r + 2, 2) types (like a binomial(r + 2, 2)-ary vertex). See the increasing tree comments under A001498. For example, a(1) = 3 from the three trees with n = 2 vertices (a root (out-degree r = 1, label 1) and a leaf (r = 0), label 2). There are three such trees because of the three types of out-degree r = 1 vertices. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 05 2007 [corrected by Karen A. Yeats, Jun 17 2013]

a(n) is the product of the positive integers less than or equal to 4n that have modulo 4 = 3. - Peter Luschny, Jun 23 2011

T(n,k) is the number of partially ordered sets (posets) on n elements that consist entirely of k chains. For example, T(4, 3)=12 since there are exactly 12 posets on {a,b,c,d} that consist entirely of 3 chains. Letting ab denote a<=b and using a slash "/" to separate chains, the 12 posets can be given by a/b/cd, a/b/dc, a/c/bd, a/c/db, a/d/bc, a/d/cb, b/c/ad, b/c/da, b/d/ac, b/d/ca, c/d/ab and c/d/ba, where the listing of the chains is arbitrary (e.g., a/b/cd = a/cd/b =...cd/b/a). - Dennis P. Walsh, Feb 22 2007

Also the matrix product |S1|.S2 of Stirling numbers of both kinds.

This Lah triangle is a lower triangular matrix of the Jabotinsky type. See the column e.g.f. and the D. E. Knuth reference given in A008297. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 29 2007

The infinitesimal matrix generator of this matrix is given in A132710. See A111596 for an interpretation in terms of circular binary words and generalized factorials. - Tom Copeland, Nov 22 2007

Three combinatorial interpretations: T(n,k) is (1) the number of ways to split [n] = {1,...,n} into a collection of k nonempty lists ("partitions into sets of lists"), (2) the number of ways to split [n] into an ordered collection of n+1-k nonempty sets that are noncrossing ("partitions into lists of noncrossing sets"), (3) the number of Dyck n-paths with n+1-k peaks labeled 1,2,...,n+1-k in some order. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008

Given matrices A and B with A(n,k) = T(n,k)*a(n-k) and B(n,k) = T(n,k)*b(n-k), then A*B = D where D(n,k) = T(n,k)*[a(.)+b(.)]^(n-k), umbrally. - Tom Copeland, Aug 21 2008

An e.g.f. for the row polynomials of A(n,k) = T(n,k)*a(n-k) is exp[a(.)* D_x * x^2] exp(x*t) = exp(x*t) exp[(.)!*Lag(.,-x*t,1)*a(.)*x], umbrally, where [(.)! Lag(.,x,1)]^n = n! Lag(n,x,1) is a normalized Laguerre polynomial of order 1. - Tom Copeland, Aug 29 2008

Triangle of coefficients from the Bell polynomial of the second kind for f = 1/(1-x). B(n,k){x1,x2,x3,...} = B(n,k){1/(1-x)^2,...,(j-1)!/(1-x)^j,...} = T(n,k)/(1-x)^(n+k). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 04 2011

The triangle, with the row and column offset taken as 0, is the generalized Riordan array (exp(x), x) with respect to the sequence n!*(n+1)! as defined by Wang and Wang (the generalized Riordan array (exp(x), x) with respect to the sequence n! is Pascal's triangle A007318, and with respect to the sequence n!^2 is A021009 unsigned). - Peter Bala, Aug 15 2013

The numbers T(n,k) appear as coefficients when expanding the rising factorials (x)^k = x(x+1)...(x+k-1) in the basis of falling factorials (x)k = x(x-1)...(x-k+1). Specifically, (x)^n = Sum{k=1..n} T(n,k) (x)k. - _Jeremy L. Martin, Apr 21 2021
