The unsigned numbers are also called Stirling cycle numbers: |s(n,k)| = number of permutations of n objects with exactly k cycles.
The unsigned numbers (read from right to left) also give the number of permutations of 1..n with complexity k, where the complexity of a permutation is defined to be the sum of the lengths of the cycles minus the number of cycles. In other words, the complexity equals the sum of (length of cycle)-1 over all cycles. For n=5, the numbers of permutations with complexity 0,1,2,3,4 are 1, 10, 35, 50, 24. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 08 2019
The unsigned numbers are also the number of permutations of 1..n with k left to right maxima (see Khovanova and Lewis, Smith).
With P(n) = the number of integer partitions of n, T(i,n) = the number of parts of the i-th partition of n, D(i,n) = the number of different parts of the i-th partition of n, p(j,i,n) = the j-th part of the i-th partition of n, m(j,i,n) = multiplicity of the j-th part of the i-th partition of n, Sum_[T(i,n)=k]{i=1}^{P(n)} = sum running from i=1 to i=p(n) but taking only partitions with T(i,n)=k parts into account, Product{j=1..T(i,n)} = product running from j=1 to j=T(i,n), Product_{j=1..D(i,n)} = product running from j=1 to j=D(i,n) one has S1(n,k) = Sum_[T(i,n)=k]{i=1}^{P(n)} (n!/Product{j=1..T(i,n)} p(j,i,n))* (1/Product_{j=1..D(i,n)} m(j,i,n)!). For example, S1(6,3) = 225 because n=6 has the following partitions with k=3 parts: (114), (123), (222). Their complexions are: (114): (6!/1*1*4)*(1/2!*1!) = 90, (123): (6!/1*2*3)*(1/1!*1!*1!) = 120, (222): (6!/2*2*2)*(1/3!) = 15. The sum of the complexions is 90+120+15 = 225 = S1(6,3). - Thomas Wieder, Aug 04 2005
Row sums equal 0. - Jon Perry, Nov 14 2005
|s(n,k)| enumerates unordered n-vertex forests composed of k increasing non-plane (unordered) trees. Proof from the e.g.f. of the first column and the F. Bergeron et al. reference, especially Table 1, last row (non-plane "recursive"), given in A049029. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 12 2007
|s(n,k)| enumerates unordered increasing n-vertex k-forests composed of k unary trees (out-degree r from {0,1}) whose vertices of depth (distance from the root) j >= 0 come in j+1 colors (j=0 for the k roots). - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 12 2007, Feb 22 2008
A refinement of the unsigned array is A036039. For an association to forests of "naturally grown" rooted non-planar trees, dispositions of flags on flagpoles, and colorings of the vertices of the complete graphs K_n, see A130534. - Tom Copeland, Mar 30 and Apr 05 2014
The Stirling numbers of the first kind were related to the falling factorial and the convolved, or generalized, Bernoulli numbers B_n by Norlund in 1924 through Sum_{k=1..n+1} T(n+1,k) * x^(k-1) = (x-1)!/(x-1-n)! = (x + B.(0))^n = B_n(x), umbrally evaluated with (B.(0))^k = B_k(0) and the associated Appell polynomial B_n(x) defined by the e.g.f. (t/(exp(t) - 1))^(n+1) * exp(x*t) = exp(B.(x)t). - Tom Copeland, Sep 29 2015
With x = e^z, D_x = d/dx, D_z = d/dz, and p_n(x) the row polynomials of this entry, x^n (D_x)^n = p_n(D_z) = (D_z)! / (D_z - n)! = (xD_x)! / (xD_x - n)!. - Tom Copeland, Nov 27 2015
From the operator relation z + Psi(1) + sum_{n > 0} (-1)^n (-1/n) binomial(D,n) = z + Psi(1+D) with D = d/dz and Psi the digamma function, Zeta(n+1) = Sum_{k > n-1} (1/k) |S(k,n)| / k! for n > 0 and Zeta the Riemann zeta function. - Tom Copeland, Aug 12 2016
Let X_1,...,X_n be i.i.d. random variables with exponential distribution having mean = 1. Let Y = max{X_1,...,X_n}. Then (-1)^n*n!/( Sum_{k=1..n+1} a(n+1,k) t^(k-1) ) is the moment generating function of Y. The expectation of Y is the n-th harmonic number. - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 25 2018
In the Ewens sampling theory describing the multivariate probability distribution of the sizes of the allelic classes in a sample of size n under the Infinite Alleles Model, |s(n,k)| gives the coefficient in the formula for the probability that a sample of n alleles has exactly k distinct types. - Noah A Rosenberg, Feb 10 2019
Named by Nielson (1906) after the Scottish mathematician James Stirling (1692-1770). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 11 2021 and Oct 02 2023
The first few row polynomials along with a recursion formula are found in a manuscript by Newton written in 1664 or 1665 (p. 169 of Turnbull) giving a geometric presentation of the binomial theorem for rational powers. - Tom Copeland, Dec 10 2022

Formula

s(n, k) = s(n-1, k-1) - (n-1)*s(n-1, k), n, k >= 1; s(n, 0) = s(0, k) = 0; s(0, 0) = 1.
The unsigned numbers a(n, k)=|s(n, k)| satisfy a(n, k) = a(n-1, k-1) + (n-1)*a(n-1, k), n, k >= 1; a(n, 0) = a(0, k) = 0; a(0, 0) = 1.
E.g.f.: for m-th column (unsigned): ((-log(1-x))^m)/m!.
s(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1), n>1 and k>1, where T(n, k) is the triangle [ -1, -1, -2, -2, -3, -3, -4, -4, -5, -5, -6, -6, ...] DELTA [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ...] and DELTA is Deléham's operator defined in A084938. The unsigned numbers are also |s(n, k)| = T(n-1, k-1), for n>0 and k>0, where T(n, k) = [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, ...] DELTA [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, ...].

Let x_(0) := 1 (empty product), and for n >= 1:
x_(n) := Product_{k=0..n-1} (x-k), called a factorial term (Boole, 1970) or a factorial polynomial (Elaydi, 2005: p. 60), and also x_(-n) := 1 / [Product_{k=0..n-1} (x+k)].
Then, for n >= 1: x_(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k) * x^k, 1 / [x_(-n)] = Sum_{k=1..n} |T(n,k)| * x^k, x^n = Sum_{k=1..n} A008277(n,k) * x_(k), where A008277(n,k) are Stirling numbers of the second kind.
The row sums (of either signed or absolute values) are Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k) = 0^(n-1), Sum_{k=1..n} |T(n,k)| = T(n+1,1) = n!. (End)

Consider the sequence S0 -> T0 -> S1 -> T1 -> S2 -> T2 -> ... Here Sn -> Tn indicates the Bell transform mapping a sequence Sn to a triangle Tn as defined in the link and Tn -> S{n+1} the operator associating a triangle with the sequence of its row sums. If
S0 = A000012 = <1,1,1,...> then
T0 = A048993 # Stirling subset numbers,
S1 = A000110 # Bell numbers,
T1 = A264428 # Bell transform of Bell numbers,
S2 = A187761 # second-order Bell numbers,
T2 = A264430 # Bell transform of second-order Bell numbers,
S3 = A264432 # third-order Bell numbers.
This construction is closely related to permutations trees and A179455. Sn is A179455_col(n+1) prepended by A179455_diag(k) = k! for k <= n. In other words, Sn 'converges' to n! for n -> oo.
Given a sequence (s(n))n>=0 with s(0) = 0 and with e.g.f. B(x) = Sum_{n >= 1} s(n)*x^n/n!, then the Bell matrix associated with s(n) equals the exponential Riordan array [1, B(x)] belonging to the Lagrange subgroup of the exponential Riordan group. Omitting the first row and column from the Bell matrix produces the exponential Riordan array [d/dx(B(x)), B(x)] belonging to the Derivative subgroup of the exponential Riordan group. - Peter Bala, Jun 07 2016

The higher order exponential integrals E(x,m,n) are defined in A163931. The asymptotic expansion of the exponential integrals E(x,m=1,n) ~ (exp(-x)/x)*(1 - n/x + n*(n+1)/x^2 - n*(n+1)*(n+2)/x^3 + ...), see Abramowitz and Stegun. This formula follows from the general formula for the asymptotic expansion, see A163932. We rewrite E(x,m=1,n) ~ (exp(-x)/x)*(1 - n/x + (n^2+n)/x^2 - (2*n+3*n^2+n^3)/x^3 + (6*n+11*n^2+6*n^3+n^4)/x^3 - ...) and observe that the T(n,m) are the polynomials coefficients in the denominators. Looking at the a(n,m) formula of A028421, A163932 and A163934, and shifting the offset given above to 1, we can write T(n-1,m-1) = a(n,m) = (-1)^(n+m)*Stirling1(n,m), see the Maple program.
The asymptotic expansion leads for values of n from one to eleven to known sequences, see the cross-references. With these sequences one can form the triangles A008279 (right-hand columns) and A094587 (left-hand columns).
See A163936 for information about the o.g.f.s. of the right-hand columns of this triangle.

The number of elements greater than i to the left of i in a permutation gives the i-th element of the inversion vector. (Skiena-Pemmaraju 2003, p. 69.) T(n,k) is the number of n-permutations that have exactly k 0's in their inversion vector. See evidence in Mathematica code below. - Geoffrey Critzer, May 07 2010
T(n,k) counts the rooted trees with k+1 trunks in forests of "naturally grown" rooted trees with n+2 nodes. This corresponds to sums of coefficients of iterated derivatives representing vectors, Lie derivatives, or infinitesimal generators for flow fields and formal group laws.

With initial n=1 and row polynomials of T as p(n,x)=x(x+1)...(x+n-1), the powers of x correspond to the number of trunks of the rooted trees of the "naturally-grown" forest referred to above. With each trunk allowed m colors, p(n,m) gives the number of such non-plane colored trees for the forest with each tree having n+1 vertices.
p(2,m) = m + m^2 = A002378(m) = 2*A000217(m) = 2*(first subdiag of |A238363|).
p(3,m) = 2m + 3m^2 + m^3 = A007531(m+2) = 3*A007290(m+2) = 3*(second subdiag A238363).
p(4,m) = 6m + 11m^2 + 6m^3 + m^4 = A052762(m+3) = 4*A033487(m) = 4*(third subdiag).
From the Joni et al. link, p(n,m) also represents the disposition of n distinguishable flags on m distinguishable flagpoles.
The chromatic polynomial for the complete graph K_n is the falling factorial, which encodes the colorings of the n vertices of K_n and gives a shifted version of p(n,m).
E.g.f. for the row polynomials: (1-y)^(-x).

Formula

T(0,0) = 1, T(n,k) = 0 if k > n or if n < 0, T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + n*T(n-1,k). T(n,0) = n! = A000142(n). T(2*n,n) = A129505(n+1). Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) = (n+1)! = A000142(n+1). Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)^2 = A047796(n+1). T(n,k) = |Stirling1(n+1,k+1)|, see A008275. (x+1)(x+2)...(x+n) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k. [Corrected by Arie Bos, Jul 11 2008]
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k = A000007(n), A000142(n), A000142(n+1), A001710(n+2), A001715(n+3), A001720(n+4), A001725(n+5), A001730(n+6), A049388(n), A049389(n), A049398(n), A051431(n) for x = -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 13 2007
For k=1..n, let A={a_1,a_2,...,a_k} denote a size-k subset of {1,2,...,n}. Then T(n,n-k) = Sum(Product_{i=1..k} a_i) where the sum is over all subsets A. For example, T(4,1)=50 since 1*2*3 + 1*2*4 + 1*3*4 + 2*3*4 = 50. - Dennis P. Walsh, Jan 25 2011
The preceding formula means T(n,k) = sigma_{n-k}(1,2,3,..,n) with the (n-k)-th elementary symmetric function sigma with the indeterminates chosen as 1,2,...,n. See the Oct 24 2011 comment in A094638 with sigma called there a. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 06 2013

T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n and having k columns. A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column. Example: T(2,1)=1 and T(2,2)=1 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, having, respectively, 1 and 2 columns. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 14 2006

Consider c(t) = column vector(1, t, t^2, t^3, t^4, t^5, ...).
Starting at 1 and sampling every integer to the right, we obtain (1,2,3,4,5,...). And T * c(1) = (1, 1*2, 1*2*3, 1*2*3*4,...), giving n! for n > 0. Call this sequence the right factorial (n+)!.
Starting at 1 and sampling every integer to the left, we obtain (1,0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,...). And T * c(-1) = (1, 1*0, 1*0*-1, 1*0*-1*-2,...) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...), the left factorial (n-)!.
Sampling every other integer to the right, we obtain (1,3,5,7,9,...). T * c(2) = (1, 1*3, 1*3*5, ...) = (1,3,15,105,945,...), giving A001147 for n > 0, the right double factorial, (n+)!!.
Sampling every other integer to the left, we obtain (1,-1,-3,-5,-7,...). T * c(-2) = (1, 1*-1, 1*-1*-3, 1*-1*-3*-5,...) = (1,-1,3,-15,105,-945,...) = signed A001147, the left double factorial, (n-)!!.
Sampling every 3 steps to the right, we obtain (1,4,7,10,...). T * c(3) = (1, 1*4, 1*4*7,...) = (1,4,28,280,...), giving A007559 for n > 0, the right triple factorial, (n+)!!!.
Sampling every 3 steps to the left, we obtain (1,-2,-5,-8,-11,...), giving T * c(-3) = (1, 1*-2, 1*-2*-5, 1*-2*-5*-8,...) = (1,-2,10,-80,880,...) = signed A008544, the left triple factorial, (n-)!!!.
The list partition transform A133314 of [1,T * c(t)] gives [1,T * c(-t)] with all odd terms negated; e.g., LPT[1,T*c(2)] = (1,-1,-1,-3,-15,-105,-945,...) = (1,-A001147). And e.g.f. for [1,T * c(t)] = (1-xt)^(-1/t).
The above results hold for t any real or complex number. (End)
Let R_n(x) be the real and I_n(x) the imaginary part of Product_{k=0..n} (x + I*k). Then, for n=1,2,..., we have R_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n+1)/2)}(-1)^k*Stirling1(n+1,n+1-2*k)*x^(n+1-2*k), I_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)}(-1)^(k+1)*Stirling1(n+1,n-2*k)*x^(n-2*k). - Milan Janjic, May 11 2008
T(n,k) is also the number of permutations of n with "reflection length" k (i.e., obtained from 12..n by k not necessarily adjacent transpositions). For example, when n=3, 132, 213, 321 are obtained by one transposition, while 231 and 312 require two transpositions. - Kyle Petersen, Oct 15 2008

E.g., [x^(y+1) D]^4 = x^(4*y) [(xD)^4 + 6 y(xD)^3 + 11 y^2(xD)^2 + 6 y^3(xD)].
(xD)^m can be further expanded in terms of the Stirling numbers of the second kind and operators of the form x^j D^j. (End)
With offset 0, 0 <= k <= n: T(n,k) is the sum of products of each size k subset of {1,2,...,n}. For example, T(3,2) = 11 because there are three subsets of size two: {1,2},{1,3},{2,3}. 1*2 + 1*3 + 2*3 = 11. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 04 2011

Let g(t) = 1/d(log(P(j+1,-t)))/dt (see Tom Copeland's 2007 formulas). The Mellin transform (t to s) of t*Dirac[g(t)] gives Sum_{n=1..j} n^(-s), which as j tends to infinity gives the Riemann zeta function for Re(s) > 1. Dirac(x) is the Dirac delta function. The complex contour integral along a circle of radius 1 centered at z=1 of z^s/g(z) gives the same result. - Tom Copeland, Dec 02 2011

The polynomials L_n^{-1} are the Laguerre polynomials of order -1, i.e., normalized Lah polynomials.
The Witt differential operators L_n = x^(n+1) D and the row e.g.f.s appear in Hopf and dual Hopf algebra relations presented by Foissy. The Witt operators satisfy L_n L_k - L_k L_n = (k-n) L_(n+k), as for the dual Hopf algebra. (End)

Formula

With P(n,t) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} T(n,k+1) * t^k = 1*(1+t)*(1+2t)...(1+(n-1)*t) and P(0,t)=1, exp[P(.,t)*x] = (1-tx)^(-1/t). T(n,k+1) = (1/k!) (D_t)^k (D_x)^n [ (1-tx)^(-1/t) - 1 ] evaluated at t=x=0. (1-tx)^(-1/t) - 1 is the e.g.f. for a plane m-ary tree when t=m-1. See Bergeron et al. in "Varieties of Increasing Trees". - Tom Copeland, Dec 09 2007
First comment and formula above rephrased as o.g.f. for row n: Product_{i=0...n} (1+i*x). - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 04 2011
n-th row polynomials with alternate signs are the characteristic polynomials of the (n-1)x(n-1) matrices with 1's in the superdiagonal, (1,2,3,...) in the main diagonal, and the rest zeros. For example, the characteristic polynomial of [1,1,0; 0,2,1; 0,0,3] is x^3 - 6*x^2 + 11*x - 6. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 28 2011
E.g.f.: A(x,y) = x*y/(1 - x*y)^(1 + 1/y) = Sum_{n>=1, k=1..n} T(n,k)*x^n*y^k/(n-1)!. - Paul D. Hanna, Jul 21 2011
With F(x,t) = (1-t*x)^(-1/t) - 1 an e.g.f. for the row polynomials P(n,t) of A094638 with P(0,t)=0, G(x,t)= [1-(1+x)^(-t)]/t is the comp. inverse in x. Consequently, with H(x,t) = 1/(dG(x,t)/dx) = (1+x)^(t+1),
P(n,t) = [(H(x,t)*d/dx)^n] x evaluated at x=0; i.e.,
F(x,t) = exp[x*P(.,t)] = exp[x*H(u,t)*d/du] u, evaluated at u = 0.
Also, dF(x,t)/dx = H(F(x,t),t). - Tom Copeland, Sep 20 2011
T(n,k) = |A008276(n,k)|. - R. J. Mathar, May 19 2016
The row polynomials of this entry are the reversed row polynomials of A143491 multiplied by (1+x). E.g., (1+x)(1 + 5x + 6x^2) = (1 + 6x + 11x^2 + 6x^3). - Tom Copeland, Dec 11 2016
Regarding the row e.g.f.s in Copeland's 2007 formulas, e.g.f.s for A001710, A001715, and A001720 give the compositional inverses of the e.g.f. here for t = 2, 3, and 4 respectively. - Tom Copeland, Dec 28 2019

The same results occur when one plots the points (1,3), (3,6), (6,10), (10,15), and so on, for all the triangular numbers and finds the area beneath. Take three consecutive triangular numbers and label them a, b, c; the area created is simply (b-a)*(b+c)/2. Thus for 6,10,15 the area beneath the line defined by the points (6,10) and (10,15) is (10-6)*(10+15)/2 = 50. - J. M. Bergot, Jun 28 2011
Let P = ab where a and b are nonequal prime numbers > 1. Let Q be the product of all divisors of P^n. Q can be expressed as P^k, where k = n*(n+1)^2/2. This follows from the fact that all divisors are of the form a^i*b^j, for i,j from 0 to n. An example is given below. In the more general case, where P is the product of m nonequal prime numbers, k = n*(n+1)^m/2. When m=3, the sequence is the same as A092364. - James A. Raymond & Douglas Raymond, Dec 04 2011

This is the row reversed second-order Eulerian triangle A008517(k+1,k+1-m). For references see A008517.
The o.g.f. for the k-th diagonal, k >= 1, of the unsigned Stirling1 triangle |A008275| is G1(1,x)=1/(1-x) if k=1 and G1(k,x) = g1(k-2,x)/(1-x)^(2*k-1), if k >= 2, with the row polynomials g1(k;x):=Sum_{m=0..k} a(k,m)*x^m.
The recurrence eq. for the row polynomials is g1(k,x)=((k+1)+k*x)*g1(k-1,x) + x*(1-x)*(d/dx)g1(k-1,x), k >= 1, with input g1(0,x):=1.
The column sequences start with A000142 (factorials), A002538, A002539, A112008, A112485.
This o.g.f. computation was inspired by Bender et al. article where the Stirling polynomials have been rediscussed.
The A163936 triangle is identical to the triangle given above except for an extra right hand column [1, 0, 0, 0, ... ]. The A163936 triangle is related to the higher order exponential integrals E(x,m,n), see A163931 and A163932. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 16 2009

The formulas S1(n+p,n) obtained are those of S1(n+2,n) { A000914 }, S1(n+3,n) { A001303 }, S1(n+4,n) { A000915 }, S1(n+5,n) { A053567 } and so on.

Examples

			Row 5 contains 120,1524,8200,24860,47185,58465,47474,24430,7245,945, so the formula generating S1(n+5,n) numbers { A053567 } will be the following : 120*n +1524*C(n,2) +8200*C(n,3) +24860*C(n,4) +47185*C(n,5) +58465*C(n,6) +47474*C(n,7) +24430*C(n,8) +7245*C(n,9) +945*C(n,10). And then substituting for the 10th number of such a S1(n+p,n) gives S1(15,10) = 37312275.
