From Robert A. Russell, Dec 24 2020: (Start)
a(n) is the number of chiral pairs of colorings of the 5 tetrahedral facets (or vertices) of the regular 4-D simplex (5-cell, pentachoron, Schläfli symbol {3,3,3}) using subsets of a set of n colors. Each member of a chiral pair is a reflection but not a rotation of the other.
a(n+4) is the number of unoriented colorings of the 5 tetrahedral facets of the regular 4-D simplex (5-cell, pentachoron) using subsets of a set of n colors. Each chiral pair is counted as one when enumerating unoriented arrangements. (End)
For integer m and positive integer r >= 4, the polynomial a(n) + a(n + m) + a(n + 2*m) + ... + a(n + r*m) in n has its zeros on the vertical line Re(n) = (4 - r*m)/2 in the complex plane. - Peter Bala, Jun 02 2024

			G.f. = x^5 + 6*x^6 + 21*x^7 + 56*x^8 + 126*x^9 + 252*x^10 + 462*x^11 + ...
For A={1,2,3,4}, the only subset with 4 elements is {1,2,3,4}; sum of 2 minimum elements of this subset: a(4) = 1+2 = 3 = 3*C(4+1,5).
For A={1,2,3,4,5}, the subsets with 4 elements are {1,2,3,4}, {1,2,3,5}, {1,2,4,5}, {1,3,4,5}, {2,3,4,5}; sum of 2 smallest elements of each subset: a(5) = (1+2)+(1+2)+(1+2)+(1+3)+(2+3) = 18 = 3*C(5+1,5). - _Serhat Bulut_, Mar 11 2015
a(6) = 6 from the six independent components of an antisymmetric tensor A of rank 5 and dimension 6: A(1,2,3,4,5), A(1,2,3,4,6), A(1,2,3,5,6), A(1,2,4,5,6), A(1,3,4,5,6), A(2,3,4,5,6). See the Dec 10 2015 comment. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Dec 10 2015

This sequence counts the "almost triangular" partitions of n. A partition is triangular if it is of the form 0+1+2+...+k. Examples: 3=0+1+2, 6=0+1+2+3. An "almost triangular" partition is a triangular partition with at most 1 added to each of the parts. Examples: 7 = 1+1+2+3 = 0+2+2+3 = 0+1+3+3 = 0+1+2+4. Thus a(7)=4. 8 = 1+2+2+3 = 1+1+3+3 = 1+1+2+4 = 0+2+3+3 = 0+2+2+4 = 0+1+3+4 so a(8)=6. - Moshe Shmuel Newman, Dec 19 2002

Also the number of increasing acyclic functions from {1..n-k+1} to {1..n+2}. A function f is acyclic if for every subset B of the domain the image of B under f does not equal B. For example, T(3,1)=4 since there are exactly 4 increasing acyclic functions from {1,2,3} to {1,2,3,4,5}: f1={(1,2),(2,3),(3,4)}, f2={(1,2),(2,3),(3,5)}, f3={(1,2),(2,4),(3,5)} and f4={(1,3),(2,4),(4,5)}. - Dennis P.

From A238363, the operator equation d/d(:xD:)f(xD)={exp[d/d(xD)]-1}f(xD) = f(xD+1)-f(xD) follows. Choosing f(x) = x^n and using :xD:^n/n! = binomial(xD,n) and (xD)^n = Bell(n,:xD:), the Bell polynomials of A008277, it follows that the lower triangular matrix [padded A074909]

  where [St1]=padded A008275 just as [St2]=A048993=padded A008277 whereas [padded A074909]=A007318-I with I=identity matrix. - Tom Copeland, Apr 25 2014
T(n,k) generated by m-gon expansions in the case of odd m with "vertex to side" version or even m with "vertex to vertes" version. Refer to triangle expansions in A061777 and A101946 (and their companions for m-gons) which are "vertex to vertex" and "vertex to side" versions respectively. The label values at each iteration can be arranged as a triangle. Any m-gon can also be arranged as the same triangle with conditions: (i) m is odd and expansion is "vertex to side" version or (ii) m is even and expansion is "vertex to vertex" version. m*Sum_{i=1..k} T(n,k) gives the total label value at the n-th iteration. See also A247976. Vertex to vertex: A061777, A247618, A247619, A247620. Vertex to side: A101946, A247903, A247904, A247905. - Kival Ngaokrajang Sep 28 2014
From Tom Copeland, Nov 12 2014: (Start)
With P(n,x) = [(x+1)^(n+1)-x^(n+1)], the row polynomials of this entry, Up(n,x) = P(n,x)/(n+1) form an Appell sequence of polynomials that are the umbral compositional inverses of the Bernoulli polynomials B(n,x), i.e., B[n,Up(.,x)] = x^n = Up[n,B(.,x)] under umbral substitution, e.g., B(.,x)^n = B(n,x).
The e.g.f. for the Bernoulli polynomials is [t/(e^t - 1)] e^(x*t), and for Up(n,x) it's exp[Up(.,x)t] = [(e^t - 1)/t] e^(x*t).
Another g.f. is G(t,x) = log[(1-x*t)/(1-(1+x)*t)] = log[1 + t /(1 + -(1+x)t)] = t/(1-t*Up(.,x)) = Up(0,x)*t + Up(1,x)*t^2 + Up(2,x)*t^3 + ... = t + (1+2x)/2 t^2 + (1+3x+3x^2)/3 t^3 + (1+4x+6x^2+4x^3)/4 t^4 + ... = -log(1-t*P(.,x)), expressed umbrally.
The inverse, Ginv(t,x), in t of the g.f. may be found in A008292 from Copeland's list of formulas (Sep 2014) with a=(1+x) and b=x. This relates these two sets of polynomials to algebraic geometry, e.g., elliptic curves, trigonometric expansions, Chebyshev polynomials, and the combinatorics of permutahedra and their duals.
Ginv(t,x) = [e^((1+x)t) - e^(xt)] / [(1+x) * e^((1+x)t) - x * e^(xt)] = [e^(t/2) - e^(-t/2)] / [(1+x)e^(t/2) - x*e^(-t/2)] = (e^t - 1) / [1 + (1+x) (e^t - 1)] = t - (1 + 2 x) t^2/2! + (1 + 6 x + 6 x^2) t^3/3! - (1 + 14 x + 36 x^2 + 24 x^3) t^4/4! + ... = -exp[-Perm(.,x)t], where Perm(n,x) are the reverse face polynomials, or reverse f-vectors, for the permutahedra, i.e., the face polynomials for the duals of the permutahedra. Cf. A090582, A019538, A049019, A133314, A135278.
With L(t,x) = t/(1+t*x) with inverse L(t,-x) in t, and Cinv(t) = e^t - 1 with inverse C(t) = log(1 + t). Then Ginv(t,x) = L[Cinv(t),(1+x)] and G(t,x) = C[L[t,-(1+x)]]. Note L is the special linear fractional (Mobius) transformation.
Connections among the combinatorics of the permutahedra, simplices (cf. A135278), and the associahedra can be made through the Lagrange inversion formula (LIF) of A133437 applied to G(t,x) (cf. A111785 and the Schroeder paths A126216 also), and similarly for the LIF A134685 applied to Ginv(t,x) involving the simplicial Whitehouse complex, phylogenetic trees, and other structures. (See also the LIFs A145271 and A133932). (End)
R = x - exp[-[B(n+1)/(n+1)]D] = x - exp[zeta(-n)D] is the raising operator for this normalized sequence UP(n,x) = P(n,x) / (n+1), that is, R UP(n,x) = UP(n+1,x), where D = d/dx, zeta(-n) is the value of the Riemann zeta function evaluated at -n, and B(n) is the n-th Bernoulli number, or constant B(n,0) of the Bernoulli polynomials. The raising operator for the Bernoulli polynomials is then x + exp[-[B(n+1)/(n+1)]D]. [Note added Nov 25 2014: exp[zeta(-n)D] is abbreviation of exp(a.D) with (a.)^n = a_n = zeta(-n)]. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2014
The diagonals T(n, n-m), for n >= m, give the m-th iterated partial sum of the positive integers; that is A000027(n+1), A000217(n), A000292(n-1), A000332(n+1), A000389(n+1), A000579(n+1), A000580(n+1), A000581(n+1), A000582(n+1), ... . - Wolfdieter Lang, May 21 2015
The transpose gives the numerical coefficients of the Maurer-Cartan form matrix for the general linear group GL(n,1) (cf. Olver, but note that the formula at the bottom of p. 6 has an error--the 12 should be a 15). - Tom Copeland, Nov 05 2015
The left invariant Maurer-Cartan form polynomial on p. 7 of the Olver paper for the group GL^n(1) is essentially a binomial convolution of the row polynomials of this entry with those of A133314, or equivalently the row polynomials generated by the product of the e.g.f. of this entry with that of A133314, with some reindexing. - Tom Copeland, Jul 03 2018
From Tom Copeland, Jul 10 2018: (Start)
The first column of the inverse matrix is the sequence of Bernoulli numbers, which follows from the umbral definition of the Bernoulli polynomials (B.(0) + x)^n = B_n(x) evaluated at x = 1 and the relation B_n(0) = B_n(1) for n > 1 and -B_1(0) = 1/2 = B_1(1), so the Bernoulli numbers can be calculated using Cramer's rule acting on this entry's matrix and, therefore, from the ratios of volumes of parallelepipeds determined by the columns of this entry's square submatrices. - Tom Copeland, Jul 10 2018
Umbrally composing the row polynomials with B_n(x), the Bernoulli polynomials, gives (B.(x)+1)^(n+1) - (B.(x))^(n+1) = d[x^(n+1)]/dx = (n+1)*x^n, so multiplying this entry as a lower triangular matrix (LTM) by the LTM of the coefficients of the Bernoulli polynomials gives the diagonal matrix of the natural numbers. Then the inverse matrix of this entry has the elements B_(n,k)/(k+1), where B_(n,k) is the coefficient of x^k for B_n(x), and the e.g.f. (1/x) (e^(xt)-1)/(e^t-1). (End)

G.f. for column k (with leading zeros): x^(k-1)*(1/(1-x)^(k+1)-1), k >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 04 2014
Up(n, x+y) = (Up(.,x)+ y)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) Up(k,x)*y^(n-k), where Up(n,x) = ((x+1)^(n+1)-x^(n+1)) / (n+1) = P(n,x)/(n+1) with P(n,x) the n-th row polynomial of this entry. dUp(n,x)/dx = n * Up(n-1,x) and dP(n,x)/dx = (n+1)*P(n-1,x). - Tom Copeland, Nov 14 2014
The o.g.f. GF(x,t) = x / ((1-t*x)*(1-(1+t)x)) = x + (1+2t)*x^2 + (1+3t+3t^2)*x^3 + ... has the inverse GFinv(x,t) = (1+(1+2t)x-sqrt(1+(1+2t)*2x+x^2))/(2t(1+t)x) in x about 0, which generates the row polynomials (mod row signs) of A033282. The reciprocal of the o.g.f., i.e., x/GF(x,t), gives the free cumulants (1, -(1+2t) , t(1+t) , 0, 0, ...) associated with the moments defined by GFinv, and, in fact, these free cumulants generate these moments through the noncrossing partitions of A134264. The associated e.g.f. and relations to Grassmannians are described in A248727, whose polynomials are the basis for an Appell sequence of polynomials that are umbral compositional inverses of the Appell sequence formed from this entry's polynomials (distinct from the one described in the comments above, without the normalizing reciprocal). - Tom Copeland, Jan 07 2015
