The indexing used here follows that given in the classic books by Riordan and Comtet. For two other versions see A173018 and A123125. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 21 2010
Coefficients of Eulerian polynomials. Number of permutations of n objects with k-1 rises. Number of increasing rooted trees with n+1 nodes and k leaves.
T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] with k runs. T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] requiring k readings (see the Knuth reference). T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] having k distinct entries in its inversion table. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 09 2004
T(n,k) = number of ways to write the Coxeter element s_{e1}s_{e1-e2}s_{e2-e3}s_{e3-e4}...s_{e_{n-1}-e_n} of the reflection group of type B_n, using s_{e_k} and as few reflections of the form s_{e_i+e_j}, where i = 1, 2, ..., n and j is not equal to i, as possible. - Pramook Khungurn (pramook(AT)mit.edu), Jul 07 2004
Subtriangle for k>=1 and n>=1 of triangle A123125. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 22 2006
T(n,k)/n! also represents the n-dimensional volume of the portion of the n-dimensional hypercube cut by the (n-1)-dimensional hyperplanes x_1 + x_2 + ... x_n = k, x_1 + x_2 + ... x_n = k-1; or, equivalently, it represents the probability that the sum of n independent random variables with uniform distribution between 0 and 1 is between k-1 and k. - Stefano Zunino, Oct 25 2006
[E(.,t)/(1-t)]^n = n!*Lag[n,-P(.,t)/(1-t)] and [-P(.,t)/(1-t)]^n = n!*Lag[n, E(.,t)/(1-t)] umbrally comprise a combinatorial Laguerre transform pair, where E(n,t) are the Eulerian polynomials and P(n,t) are the polynomials in A131758. - Tom Copeland, Sep 30 2007
From Tom Copeland, Oct 07 2008: (Start)
G(x,t) = 1/(1 + (1-exp(x*t))/t) = 1 + 1*x + (2+t)*x^2/2! + (6+6*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... gives row polynomials for A090582, the reverse f-polynomials for the permutohedra (see A019538).
G(x,t-1) = 1 + 1*x + (1+t)*x^2/2! + (1+4*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... gives row polynomials for A008292, the h-polynomials for permutohedra (Postnikov et al.).
G((t+1)*x, -1/(t+1)) = 1 + (1+t)*x + (1+3*t+2*t^2)*x^2/2! + ... gives row polynomials for A028246.
(End)
A subexceedant function f on [n] is a map f:[n] -> [n] such that 1 <= f(i) <= i for all i, 1 <= i <= n. T(n,k) equals the number of subexceedant functions f of [n] such that the image of f has cardinality k [Mantaci & Rakotondrajao]. Example T(3,2) = 4: if we identify a subexceedant function f with the word f(1)f(2)...f(n) then the subexceedant functions on [3] are 111, 112, 113, 121, 122 and 123 and four of these functions have an image set of cardinality 2. - Peter Bala, Oct 21 2008
Further to the comments of Tom Copeland above, the n-th row of this triangle is the h-vector of the simplicial complex dual to a permutohedron of type A_(n-1). The corresponding f-vectors are the rows of A019538. For example, 1 + 4*x + x^2 = y^2 + 6*y + 6 and 1 + 11*x + 11*x^2 + x^3 = y^3 + 14*y^2 + 36*y + 24, where x = y + 1, give [1,6,6] and [1,14,36,24] as the third and fourth rows of A019538. The Hilbert transform of this triangle (see A145905 for the definition) is A047969. See A060187 for the triangle of Eulerian numbers of type B (the h-vectors of the simplicial complexes dual to permutohedra of type B). See A066094 for the array of h-vectors of type D. For tables of restricted Eulerian numbers see A144696 - A144699. - Peter Bala, Oct 26 2008
For a natural refinement of A008292 with connections to compositional inversion and iterated derivatives, see A145271. - Tom Copeland, Nov 06 2008
The polynomials E(z,n) = numerator(Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(n+1)*k^n*z^(k-1)) for n >=1 lead directly to the triangle of Eulerian numbers. - Johannes W. Meijer, May 24 2009
From Walther Janous (walther.janous(AT)tirol.com), Nov 01 2009: (Start)
The (Eulerian) polynomials e(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} T(n,k+1)*x^k turn out to be also the numerators of the closed-form expressions of the infinite sums:
S(p,x) = Sum_{j>=0} (j+1)^p*x^j, that is
S(p,x) = e(p,x)/(1-x)^(p+1), whenever |x| < 1 and p is a positive integer.
(Note the inconsistent use of T(n,k) in the section listing the formula section. I adhere tacitly to the first one.) (End)
If n is an odd prime, then all numbers of the (n-2)-th and (n-1)-th rows are in the progression k*n+1. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 01 2011
The Eulerian triangle is an element of the formula for the r-th successive summation of Sum_{k=1..n} k^j which appears to be Sum_{k=1..n} T(j,k-1) * binomial(j-k+n+r, j+r). - Gary Detlefs, Nov 11 2011
Li and Wong show that T(n,k) counts the combinatorially inequivalent star polygons with n+1 vertices and sum of angles (2*k-n-1)*Pi. An equivalent formulation is: define the total sign change S(p) of a permutation p in the symmetric group S_n to be equal to Sum_{i=1..n} sign(p(i)-p(i+1)), where we take p(n+1) = p(1). T(n,k) gives the number of permutations q in S_(n+1) with q(1) = 1 and S(q) = 2*k-n-1. For example, T(3,2) = 4 since in S_4 the permutations (1243), (1324), (1342) and (1423) have total sign change 0. - Peter Bala, Dec 27 2011
Xiong, Hall and Tsao refer to Riordan and mention that a traditional Eulerian number A(n,k) is the number of permutations of (1,2...n) with k weak exceedances. - Susanne Wienand, Aug 25 2014
Connections to algebraic geometry/topology and characteristic classes are discussed in the Buchstaber and Bunkova, the Copeland, the Hirzebruch, the Lenart and Zainoulline, the Losev and Manin, and the Sheppeard links; to the Grassmannian, in the Copeland, the Farber and Postnikov, the Sheppeard, and the Williams links; and to compositional inversion and differential operators, in the Copeland and the Parker links. - Tom Copeland, Oct 20 2015
The bivariate e.g.f. noted in the formulas is related to multiplying edges in certain graphs discussed in the Aluffi-Marcolli link. See p. 42. - Tom Copeland, Dec 18 2016
Distribution of left children in treeshelves is given by a shift of the Eulerian numbers. Treeshelves are ordered binary (0-1-2) increasing trees where every child is connected to its parent by a left or a right link. See A278677, A278678 or A278679 for more definitions and examples. - Sergey Kirgizov, Dec 24 2016
The row polynomial P(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} T(n, k)*x^k appears in the numerator of the o.g.f. G(n, x) = Sum_{m>=0} S(n, m)*x^m with S(n, m) = Sum_{j=0..m} j^n for n >= 1 as G(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} P(n, x)/(1 - x)^(n+2) for n >= 0 (with 0^0=1). See also triangle A131689 with a Mar 31 2017 comment for a rewritten form. For the e.g.f see A028246 with a Mar 13 2017 comment. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 31 2017

Four characterizations of Eulerian numbers T(i, n):
1. T(0, n)=1 for n>=1, T(i, 1)=0 for i>=1, T(i, n) = (n-i)T(i-1, n-1) + (i+1)T(i, n-1).
2. T(i, n) = Sum_{j=0..i} (-1)^j*binomial(n+1,j)*(i-j+1)^n for n>=1, i>=0.
3. Let C_n be the unit cube in R^n with vertices (e_1, e_2, ..., e_n) where each e_i is 0 or 1 and all 2^n combinations are used. Then T(i, n)/n! is the volume of C_n between the hyperplanes x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = i and x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = i+1. Hence T(i, n)/n! is the probability that i <= X_1 + X_2 + ... + X_n < i+1 where the X_j are independent uniform [0, 1] distributions. - See Ehrenborg & Readdy reference.
4. Let f(i, n) = T(i, n)/n!. The f(i, n) are the unique coefficients so that (1/(r-1)^(n+1)) Sum_{i=0..n-1} f(i, n) r^{i+1} = Sum_{j>=0} (j^n)/(r^j) whenever n>=1 and abs(r)>1. (End)

Bell_n(x) = Sum_{j=0..n} S2(n,j) * x^j = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * Lag(n,-x, j-n) = Sum_{j=0..n} (E(n,j)/n!) * (n!*Lag(n,-x, j-n)) = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(Bell.(x)+j, n) umbrally where Bell_n(x) are the Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomials; S2(n,j), the Stirling numbers of the second kind; E(n,j), the Eulerian numbers; and Lag(n,x,m), the associated Laguerre polynomials of order m.
For x = 0, the equation gives Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(j,n) = 1 for n=0 and 0 for all other n. By substituting the umbral compositional inverse of the Bell polynomials, the lower factorial n!*binomial(y,n), for x in the equation, the Worpitzky identity is obtained; y^n = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(y+j,n).
Note that E(n,j)/n! = E(n,j)/(Sum_{k=0..n} E(n,k)). Also (n!*Lag(n, -1, j-n)) is A086885 with a simple combinatorial interpretation in terms of seating arrangements, giving a combinatorial interpretation to the equation for x=1; n!*Bell_n(1) = n!*Sum_{j=0..n} S2(n,j) = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * (n!*Lag(n, -1, j-n)).

The e.g.f. B(x,t) := compositional inverse with respect to x of G(0,x,t) = (exp(x)-exp(x*t))/(exp(x*t)-t*exp(x)) = x + (1+t)*x^2/2! + (1+4*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... satisfies the autonomous differential equation dB/dx = (1+B)*(1+t*B) = 1 + (1+t)*B + t*B^2.
Applying [Bergeron et al., Theorem 1] gives a combinatorial interpretation for the Eulerian polynomials: A(n,t) counts plane increasing trees on n vertices where each vertex has outdegree <= 2, the vertices of outdegree 1 come in 1+t colors and the vertices of outdegree 2 come in t colors. An example is given below. Cf. A008517. Applying [Dominici, Theorem 4.1] gives the following method for calculating the Eulerian polynomials: Let f(x,t) = (1+x)*(1+t*x) and let D be the operator f(x,t)*d/dx. Then A(n+1,t) = D^n(f(x,t)) evaluated at x = 0.

Total number of permutations of all subsets of an n-set.
Also the number of one-to-one sequences that can be formed from n distinct objects.
Old name "Total number of permutations of a set with n elements", or the same with the word "arrangements", both sound too much like A000142.
Related to number of operations of addition and multiplication to evaluate a determinant of order n by cofactor expansion - see A026243.
a(n) is also the number of paths (without loops) in the complete graph on n+2 vertices starting at one vertex v1 and ending at another v2. Example: when n=2 there are 5 paths in the complete graph with 4 vertices starting at the vertex 1 and ending at the vertex 2: (12),(132),(142),(1342),(1432) so a(2) = 5. - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Feb 23 2001; comment corrected by Jonathan Coxhead, Mar 21 2003
Also row sums of Table A008279, which can be generated by taking the derivatives of x^k. For example, for y = 1*x^3, y' = 3x^2, y" = 6x, y'''= 6 so a(4) = 1 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 16. - Alford Arnold, Dec 15 1999
a(n) is the permanent of the n X n matrix with 2s on the diagonal and 1s elsewhere. - Yuval Dekel, Nov 01 2003
(A000166 + this_sequence)/2 = A009179, (A000166 - this_sequence)/2 = A009628.
Stirling transform of A006252(n-1) = [1,1,1,2,4,14,38,...] is a(n-1) = [1,2,5,16,65,...]. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2004
Number of {12,12*,21*}- and {12,12*,2*1}-avoiding signed permutations in the hyperoctahedral group.
a(n) = b such that Integral_{x=0..1} x^n*exp(-x) dx = a-b*exp(-1). - Sébastien Dumortier, Mar 05 2005
a(n) is the number of permutations on [n+1] whose left-to-right record lows all occur at the start. Example: a(2) counts all permutations on [3] except 231 (the last entry is a record low but its predecessor is not). - David Callan, Jul 20 2005
a(n) is the number of permutations on [n+1] that avoid the (scattered) pattern 1-2-3|. The vertical bar means the "3" must occur at the end of the permutation. For example, 21354 is not counted by a(4): 234 is an offending subpermutation. - David Callan, Nov 02 2005
Number of deco polyominoes of height n+1 having no reentrant corners along the lower contour (i.e., no vertical step that is followed by a horizontal step). In other words, a(n)=A121579(n+1,0). 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: a(1)=2 because the only deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, having no reentrant corners along their lower contours. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 16 2006
Unreduced numerators of partial sums of the Taylor series for e. - Jonathan Sondow, Aug 18 2006
a(n) is the number of permutations on [n+1] (written in one-line notation) for which the subsequence beginning at 1 is increasing. Example: a(2)=5 counts 123, 213, 231, 312, 321. - David Callan, Oct 06 2006
a(n) is the number of permutations (written in one-line notation) on the set [n + k], k >= 1, for which the subsequence beginning at 1,2,...,k is increasing. Example: n = 2, k = 2. a(2) = 5 counts 1234, 3124, 3412, 4123, 4312. - Peter Bala, Jul 29 2014
a(n) and (1,-2,3,-4,5,-6,7,...) form a reciprocal pair under the list partition transform and associated operations described in A133314. - Tom Copeland, Nov 01 2007
Consider the subsets of the set {1,2,3,...,n} formed by the first n integers. E.g., for n = 3 we have {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3}. Let the variable sbst denote a subset. For each subset sbst we determine its number of parts, that is nprts(sbst). The sum over all possible subsets is written as Sum_{sbst=subsets}. Then a(n) = Sum_{sbst=subsets} nprts(sbst)!. E.g., for n = 3 we have 1!+1!+1!+1!+2!+2!+2!+3!=16. - Thomas Wieder, Jun 17 2006
Equals row sums of triangle A158359(unsigned). - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 17 2009
Equals eigensequence of triangle A158821. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 30 2009
For positive n, equals 1/BarnesG(n+1) times the determinant of the n X n matrix whose (i,j)-coefficient is the (i+j)th Bell number. - John M. Campbell, Oct 03 2011
a(n) is the number of n X n binary matrices with i) at most one 1 in each row and column and ii) the subset of rows that contain a 1 must also be the columns that contain a 1. Cf. A002720 where restriction ii is removed. - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 20 2011
Number of restricted growth strings (RGS) [d(1),d(2),...,d(n)] such that d(k) <= k and d(k) <= 1 + (number of nonzero digits in prefix). The positions of nonzero digits determine the subset, and their values (decreased by 1) are the (left) inversion table (a rising factorial number) for the permutation, see example. - Joerg Arndt, Dec 09 2012
Number of a restricted growth strings (RGS) [d(0), d(1), d(2), ..., d(n)] where d(k) >= 0 and d(k) <= 1 + chg([d(0), d(1), d(2), ..., d(k-1)]) and chg(.) gives the number of changes of its argument. Replacing the function chg(.) by a function asc(.) that counts the ascents in the prefix gives A022493 (ascent sequences). - Joerg Arndt, May 10 2013
The sequence t(n) = number of i <= n such that floor(e*i!) is a square is mentioned in the abstract of Luca & Shparlinski. The values are t(n) = 0 for 0 <= n <= 2 and t(n) = 1 for at least 3 <= n <= 300. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 16 2014
a(n) = p(n,1) = q(n,1), where p and q are polynomials defined at A248664 and A248669. - Clark Kimberling, Oct 11 2014
a(n) is the number of ways at most n people can queue up at a (slow) ticket counter when one or more of the people may choose not to queue up. Note that there are C(n,k) sets of k people who quene up and k! ways to queue up. Since k can run from 0 to n, a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} n!/(n-k)! = Sum_{k=0..n} n!/k!. For example, if n=3 and the people are A(dam), B(eth), and C(arl), a(3)=16 since there are 16 possible lineups: ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, CBA, AB, BA, AC, CA, BC, CB, A, B, C, and empty queue. - Dennis P. Walsh, Oct 02 2015
As the row sums of A008279, Motzkin uses the abbreviated notation $n_<^\Sigma$ for a(n).
The piecewise polynomial function f defined by f(x) = a(n)*x^n/n! on each interval [ 1-1/a(n), 1-1/a(n+1) ) is continuous on [0,1) and lim_{x->1} f(x) = e. - Luc Rousseau, Oct 15 2019
a(n) is composite for 3 <= n <= 2015, but a(2016) is prime (or at least a strong pseudoprime): see Johansson link. - Robert Israel, Jul 27 2020 [a(2016) is prime, ECPP certificate generated with CM 0.4.3 and checked by factordb. - Jason H Parker, Jun 15 2025]
In general, sequences of the form a(0)=a, a(n) = n*a(n-1) + k, n>0, will have a closed form of n!*a + floor(n!*(e-1))*k. - Gary Detlefs, Oct 26 2020
From Peter Bala, Apr 03 2022: (Start)
a(2*n) is odd and a(2*n+1) is even. More generally, a(n+k) == a(n) (mod k) for all n and k. It follows that for each positive integer k, the sequence obtained by reducing a(n) modulo k is periodic, with the exact period dividing k. Various divisibility properties of the sequence follow from this; for example, a(5*n+2) == a(5*n+4) == 0 (mod 5), a(25*n+7) == a(25*n+19) == 0 (mod 25) and a(13*n+4) == a(13*n+10)== a(13*n+12) == 0 (mod 13). (End)
Number of possible ranking options on a typical ranked choice voting ballot with n candidates (allowing undervotes). - P. Christopher Staecker, May 05 2024

From Tom Copeland, Nov 01 2007, Dec 10 2007: (Start)
Act on 1/(1-x) with 1/(1-xDx) = Sum_{j>=0} (xDx)^j = Sum_{j>=0} x^j*D^j*x^j = Sum_{j>=0} j!*x^j*L(j,-:xD:,0) where Lag(n,x,0) are the Laguerre polynomials of order 0, D the derivative w.r.t. x and (:xD:)^j = x^j*D^j. Truncating the operator series at the j = n term gives an o.g.f. for a(0) through a(n) consistent with Jovovic's.
These results and those of Penson and Blasiak, Arnold, Bottomley and Deleham are related by the operator A094587 (the reverse of A008279), which is the umbral equivalent of n!*Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,x,-1],0] = (1-D)^(-1) x^n = (-1)^n * n! Lag(n,x,-1-n) = Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(n,j)*j!*x^(n-j) = Sum_{j=0..n} (n!/j!)*x^j. Umbral substitution of b(.) for x and then letting b(n)=1 for all n connects the results. See A132013 (the inverse of A094587) for a connection between these operations and 1/(1-xDx).

From Peter Bala, Jul 15 2008: (Start)
a(n) = n!*e - 1/(n + 1/(n+1 + 2/(n+2 + 3/(n+3 + ...)))).
Asymptotic result (Ramanujan): n!*e - a(n) ~ 1/n - 1/n^3 + 1/n^4 + 2/n^5 - 9/n^6 + ..., where the sequence [1,0,-1,1,2,-9,...] = [(-1)^k*A000587(k)], for k>=1.
a(n) is a difference divisibility sequence, that is, the difference a(n) - a(m) is divisible by n - m for all n and m (provided n is not equal to m). For fixed k, define the derived sequence a_k(n) = (a(n+k)-a(k))/n, n = 1,2,3,... . Then a_k(n) is also a difference divisibility sequence.
For example, the derived sequence a_0(n) is just a(n-1). The set of integer sequences satisfying the difference divisibility property forms a ring with term-wise operations of addition and multiplication.
Recurrence relations: a(0) = 1, a(n) = (n-1)*(a(n-1) + a(n-2)) + 2, for n >= 1. a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, D-finite with recurrence: a(n) = (n+1)*a(n-1) - (n-1)*a(n-2) for n >= 2. The sequence b(n) := n! satisfies the latter recurrence with the initial conditions b(0) = 1, b(1) = 1. This leads to the finite continued fraction expansion a(n)/n! = 1/(1-1/(2-1/(3-2/(4-...-(n-1)/(n+1))))), n >= 2.
Limit_{n->oo} a(n)/n! = e = 1/(1-1/(2-1/(3-2/(4-...-n/((n+2)-...))))). This is the particular case m = 0 of the general result m!/e - d_m = (-1)^(m+1) *(1/(m+2 -1/(m+3 -2/(m+4 -3/(m+5 -...))))), where d_m denotes the m-th derangement number A000166(m).
For sequences satisfying the more general recurrence a(n) = (n+1+r)*a(n-1) - (n-1)*a(n-2), which yield series acceleration formulas for e/r! that involve the Poisson-Charlier polynomials c_r(-n;-1), refer to A001339 (r=1), A082030 (r=2), A095000 (r=3) and A095177 (r=4).
For the corresponding results for the constants log(2), zeta(2) and zeta(3) refer to A142992, A108625 and A143007 respectively.

a(n) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n and having in the last column an odd number of cells. 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: a(2)=1 because the horizontal domino is the only deco polyomino of height 2 having an odd number of cells in the last column. - Emeric Deutsch, May 08 2008

T(n-1,k), k=1,...,n-1, gives the number of representative necklaces with n beads (C_N symmetry) of n+1-k distinct colors, say c[1],c[2],...,c[n-k+1], corresponding to the color signature determined by the partition k,1^(n-k) of n. The representative necklaces have k beads of color c[1]. E.g., n=4, k=2: partition 2,1,1, color signature (parts as exponents) c[1]c[1]c[2]c[3], 3=T(3,2) necklaces (write j for color c[j]): cyclic(1123), cyclic(1132) and cyclic(1213). See A212359 for the numbers for general partitions or color signatures. (End)

T(n,k) is the number of positroid cells of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian G+(k,n) (cf. Postnikov/Williams). It is the triangle of the h-vectors of the stellahedra. - Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2014
See A248727 for a simple transformation of the row polynomials of this entry that produces the umbral compositional inverses of the polynomials of A074909, related to the face polynomials of the simplices. - Tom Copeland, Jan 21 2015
From Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2015: (Start)
The reciprocal of this entry's e.g.f. is [t e^(-xt) - e^(-x)] / (t-1) = 1 - (1+t) x + (1+t+t^2) x^2/2! - (1+t+t^2+t^3) x^3/3! + ... = e^(q.(0;t)x), giving the base sequence (q.(0;t))^n = q_n(0;t) = (-1)^n [1-t^(n+1)] / (1-t) for the umbral compositional inverses (q.(0;t)+z)^n = q_n(z;t) of the Appell polynomials associated with this entry, p_n(z;t) below, i.e., q_n(p.(z;t)) = z^n = p_n(q.(z;t)), in umbral notation. The relations in A133314 then apply between the two sets of base polynomials. (Inserted missing index in a formula - Mar 03 2016.)
The associated o.g.f. for the umbral inverses is Og(x) = x / (1-x q.(0:t)) = x / [(1+x)(1+tx)] = x / [1+(1+t)x+tx^2]. Applying A134264 to h(x) = x / Og(x) = 1 + (1+t) x + t x^2 leads to an o.g.f. for the Narayana polynomials A001263 as the comp. inverse Oginv(x) = [1-(1+t)x-sqrt[1-2(1+t)x+((t-1)x)^2]] / (2xt). Note that Og(x) gives the signed h-polynomials of the simplices and that Oginv(x) gives the h-polynomials of the simplicial duals of the Stasheff polynomials, or type A associahedra. Contrast this with A248727 = A046802 * A007318, which has o.g.f.s related to the corresponding f-polynomials. (End)
The Appell polynomials p_n(x;t) in the formulas below specialize to the Swiss-knife polynomials of A119879 for t = -1, so the Springer numbers A001586 are given by 2^n p_n(1/2;-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2015
The row polynomials are the h-polynomials associated to the stellahedra, whose f-polynomials are the row polynomials of A248727. Cf. page 60 of the Buchstaber and Panov link. - Tom Copeland, Nov 08 2016
The row polynomials are the h-polynomials of the stellohedra, which enumerate partial permutations according to descents. Cf. Section 10.4 of the Postnikov-Reiner-Williams reference. - Lauren Williams, Jul 05 2022
From p. 60 of the Buchstaber and Panov link, S = P * C / T where S, P, C, and T are the bivariate e.g.f.s of the h vectors of the stellahedra, permutahedra, hypercubes, and (n-1)-simplices, respectively. - Tom Copeland, Jan 09 2017
The number of Le-diagrams of type (k, n) this means the diagram uses the bounding box size k x (n-k), equivalently the number of Grassmann necklaces of type (k, n) and also the number of decorated permutations with k anti-exceedances. - Thomas Scheuerle, Dec 29 2024

With offset=0, T(n,0)=1 otherwise T(n,k) = sum_{i=0..k-1} C(n,i)((i-k)^i*(k-i+1)^(n-i) - (i-k+1)^i*(k-i)^(n-i)) (cf. Williams). - Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2014
With offset 0, T = A007318 * A123125. Second column is A000225; 3rd, appears to be A066810. - Tom Copeland, Jan 23 2015
A raising operator (with D = d/dx) associated with this entry's row polynomials is R = x + t + (1-t) / [1-t e^{(1-t)D}]  = x + t + 1 + t D + (t+t^2) D^2/2! + (t+4t^2+t^3) D^3/3! + ... , containing the e.g.f. for the Eulerian polynomials of A123125. Then R^n 1 = (p.(0;t)+x)^n = p_n(x;t) are the Appell polynomials with this entry's row polynomials p_n(0;t) as the base sequence. Examples of this formalism are given in A028246 and A248727. - Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2015
With offset 0, T = A007318*(padded A090582)*(inverse of A097805) = A007318*(padded A090582)*(padded A130595) = A007318*A123125 = A007318*(padded A090582)*A007318*A097808*A130595, where padded matrices are of the form of padded A007318, which is A097805. Inverses of padded matrices are just the padded versions of inverses of the unpadded matrices. This relates the face vectors, or f-vectors, and h-vectors of the permutahedra / permutohedra to those of the stellahedra / stellohedra. - Tom Copeland, Nov 13 2016
Umbrally, the row polynomials (offset 0) are r_n(x) = (1 + q.(x))^n, where (q.(x))^k = q_k(x) are the row polynomials of A123125. - Tom Copeland, Nov 16 2016
From the previous umbral statement, OP(x,d/dy) y^n =  (y + q.(x))^n, where OP(x,y) = exp[y * q.(x)] = (1-x)/(1-x*exp((1-x)y)), the e.g.f. of A123125, so OP(x,d/dy) y^n evaluated at y = 1 is  r_n(x), the n-th row polynomial of this entry, with offset 0. - Tom Copeland, Jun 25 2018
Consolidating some formulas in this entry and A248727, in umbral notation for concision, with all offsets 0: Let A_n(x;y) = (y + E.(x))^n, an Appell sequence in y where E.(x)^k = E_k(x) are the Eulerian polynomials of A123125. Then the row polynomials of this entry (A046802, the h-polynomials of the stellahedra) are given by h_n(x) = A_n(x;1); the row polynomials of A248727 (the face polynomials of the stellahedra), by f_n(x) = A_n(1 + x;1); the Swiss-knife polynomials of A119879, by Sw_n(x) = A_n(-1;1 + x); and the row polynomials of the Worpitsky triangle (A130850), by w_n(x) = A(1 + x;0). Other specializations of A_n(x;y) give A090582 (the f-polynomials of the permutohedra, cf. also A019538) and A028246 (another version of the Worpitsky triangle). - Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2020
From Peter Luschny, Apr 30 2021: (Start)
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*T(n, k) = A122045(n).
Sum_{k=0..n} 2^(n-k)*T(n,k) = A007047(n).
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, n-k) = A000522(n).
