The (reverse) Bessel polynomials P(n,x):=Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m, the row polynomials, called Theta_n(x) in the Grosswald reference, solve x*(d^2/dx^2)P(n,x) - 2*(x+n)*(d/dx)P(n,x) + 2*n*P(n,x) = 0.
With the related Sheffer associated polynomials defined by Carlitz as
B(0,x) = 1
B(1,x) = x
B(2,x) = x + x^2
B(3,x) = 3 x + 3 x^2 + x^3
B(4,x) = 15 x + 15 x^2 + 6 x^3 + x^4
... (see Mathworld reference), then P(n,x) = 2^n * B(n,x/2) are the Sheffer polynomials described in A119274. - Tom Copeland, Feb 10 2008
Exponential Riordan array [1/sqrt(1-2x), 1-sqrt(1-2x)]. - Paul Barry, Jul 27 2010
From Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 18 2011: (Start)
For B(n,k){...} the Bell polynomial of the second kind we have
B(n,k){f', f'', f''', ...} = T(n-1,k-1)*(1-2*x)^(k/2-n), where f(x) = 1-sqrt(1-2*x).
The expansions of the first few rows are:
1/sqrt(1-2*x);
1/(1-2*x)^(3/2), 1/(1-2*x);
3/(1-2*x)^(5/2), 3/(1-2*x)^2, 1/(1-2*x)^(3/2);
15/(1-2*x)^(7/2), 15/(1-2*x)^3, 6/(1-2*x)^(5/2), 1/(1-2*x)^2. (End)
Also the Bell transform of A001147 (whithout column 0 which is 1,0,0,...). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 19 2016
Antidiagonals of A099174 are rows of this entry. Dividing each diagonal by its first element generates A054142. - Tom Copeland, Oct 04 2016
The row polynomials p_n(x) of A107102 are (-1)^n B_n(1-x), where B_n(x) are the modified Carlitz-Bessel polynomials above, e.g., (-1)^2 B_2(1-x) = (1-x) + (1-x)^2 = 2 - 3 x + x^2 = p_2(x). - Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2016
a(n-1,m-1) counts rooted unordered binary forests with n labeled leaves and m roots. - David desJardins, Feb 23 2019
From Jianing Song, Nov 29 2021: (Start)
The polynomials P_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k satisfy: P_n(x) - (d/dx)P_n(x) = x*P_{n-1}(x) for n >= 1.
{P(n,x)} are related to the Fourier transform of 1/(1+x^2)^(n+1) and x/(1+x^2)^(n+2):
(i) For n >= 0, real number t, we have Integral_{x=-oo..oo} exp(-i*t*x)/(1+x^2)^(n+1) dx = Pi/(2^n*n!) * P_n(|t|) * exp(-|t|);
(ii) For n >= 0, real number t, we have Integral_{x=-oo..oo} x*exp(-i*t*x)/(1+x^2)^(n+2) dx = Pi/(2^(n+1)*(n+1)!) * ((-t)*P_n(-|t|)) * exp(-|t|). (End)
Suppose that f(x) is an n-times differentiable function defined on (a,b) for 0 <= a < b <= +oo, then for n >= 1, the n-th derivative of f(sqrt(x)) on (a^2,b^2) is Sum_{k=1..n} ((-1)^(n-k)*T(n-1,k-1)*f^(k)(sqrt(x))) / (2^n*x^(n-(k/2))), where f^(k) is the k-th derivative of f. - Jianing Song, Nov 30 2023

Formula

a(n, m) = (2*n-m)!/(m!*(n-m)!*2^(n-m)) if n >= m >= 0 else 0 (from Grosswald, p. 7).
a(n, m)= 0, n= m >= 0 (from Grosswald p. 23, (19)).
E.g.f. for m-th column: ((1-sqrt(1-2*x))^m)/(m!*sqrt(1-2*x)).
