This infinite matrix is the square of the Pascal matrix (A007318) whose rows are [ 1,0,... ], [ 1,1,0,... ], [ 1,2,1,0,... ], ...
As an upper right triangle, table rows give number of points, edges, faces, cubes,
4D hypercubes etc. in hypercubes of increasing dimension by column. - Henry Bottomley, Apr 14 2000. More precisely, the (i,j)-th entry is the number of j-dimensional subspaces of an i-dimensional hypercube (see the Coxeter reference). - Christof Weber, May 08 2009
Number of different partial sums of 1+[1,1,2]+[2,2,3]+[3,3,4]+[4,4,5]+... with entries that are zero removed. - Jon Perry, Jan 01 2004
Row sums are powers of 3 (A000244), antidiagonal sums are Pell numbers (A000129). - Gerald McGarvey, May 17 2005
Riordan array (1/(1-2x), x/(1-2x)). - Paul Barry, Jul 28 2005
T(n,k) is the number of elements of the Coxeter group B_n with descent set contained in {s_k}, 0<=k<=n-1. For T(n,n), we interpret this as the number of elements of B_n with empty descent set (since s_n does not exist). - Elizabeth Morris (epmorris(AT)math.washington.edu), Mar 01 2006
Let S be a binary relation on the power set P(A) of a set A having n = |A| elements such that for every element x, y of P(A), xSy if x is a subset of y. Then T(n,k) = the number of elements (x,y) of S for which y has exactly k more elements than x. - Ross La Haye, Oct 12 2007
T(n,k) is number of paths in the first quadrant going from (0,0) to (n,k) using only steps B=(1,0) colored blue, R=(1,0) colored red and U=(1,1). Example: T(3,2)=6 because we have BUU, RUU, UBU, URU, UUB and UUR. - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 04 2007
T(n,k) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) using steps (0,1), and two kinds of step (1,0). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011
T(i,j) is the number of i-permutations of {1,2,3} containing j 1's. Example: T(2,1)=4 because we have 12, 13, 21 and 31; T(3,2)=6 because we have 112, 113, 121, 131, 211 and 311. - Zerinvary Lajos, Dec 21 2007

Unsigned diagonals of A133156 are rows of this array. - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2014
Omitting the first row, this is the production matrix for A039683, where an equivalent differential operator can be found. - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2016
T(n,k) is the number of functions f:[n]->[3] with exactly k elements mapped to 3. Note that there are C(n,k) ways to choose the k elements mapped to 3, and there are 2^(n-k) ways to map the other (n-k) elements to {1,2}. Hence, by summing T(n,k) as k runs from 0 to n, we obtain 3^n = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k). - Dennis P. Walsh, Sep 26 2017
Since this array is the square of the Pascal lower triangular matrix, the row polynomials of this array are obtained as the umbral composition of the row polynomials P_n(x) of the Pascal matrix with themselves. E.g., P_3(P.(x)) = 1 P_3(x) + 3 P_2(x) + 3 P_1(x) + 1 = (x^3 + 3 x^2 + 3 x + 1) + 3 (x^2 + 2 x + 1) + 3 (x + 1) + 1 = x^3 + 6 x^2 + 12 x + 8. - Tom Copeland, Nov 12 2018
T(n,k) is the number of 2-compositions of n+1 with some zeros allowed that have k zeros; see the Hopkins & Ouvry reference. - Brian Hopkins, Aug 16 2020

Formula

T(n, k) = Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n,i)*binomial(i,k).
T(n, k) = (-1)^k*A065109(n,k).

From the formalism of A133314, the e.g.f. for the row polynomials of A038207 is exp(x*t)*exp(2x). The e.g.f. for the row polynomials of the inverse matrix is exp(x*t)*exp(-2x). p iterates of the matrix give the matrix with e.g.f. exp(x*t)*exp(p*2x). The results generalize for 2 replaced by any number. - Tom Copeland, Aug 18 2008

The e.g.f. for the n-th row is given by umbral composition of the normalized Laguerre polynomials A021009 as p(n,x) = L(n, -L(.,-x))/n! = 2^n L(n, -x/2)/n!. E.g., L(2,x) = 2 -4*x +x^2, so p(2,x)= (1/2)*L(2, -L(.,-x)) = (1/2)*(2*L(0,-x) + 4*L(1,-x) + L(2,-x)) = (1/2)*(2 + 4*(1+x) + (2+4*x+x^2)) = 4 + 4*x + x^2/2. - Tom Copeland, Oct 20 2012
From Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2012: (Start)
From the formalism of A132440 and A218272:
Let P and P^T be the Pascal matrix and its transpose and H= P^2= A038207.
Then with D the derivative operator,
exp(x*z/(1-2*z))/(1-2*z)= exp(2*z D_z z) e^(x*z)= exp(2*D_x (x D_x)) e^(z*x)
= (1 z z^2 z^3 ...) H (1 x x^2/2! x^3/3! ...)^T
= (1 x x^2/2! x^3/3! ...) H^T (1 z z^2 z^3 ...)^T
= Sum_{n>=0} z^n * 2^n Lag_n(-x/2)= exp[z*EF(.,x)], an o.g.f. for the f-vectors (rows) of A038207 where EF(n,x) is an e.g.f. for the n-th f-vector. (Lag_n(x) are the un-normalized Laguerre polynomials.)
Conversely,
exp(z*(2+x))= exp(2D_x) exp(x*z)= exp(2x) exp(x*z)
= (1 x x^2 x^3 ...) H^T (1 z z^2/2! z^3/3! ...)^T
= (1 z z^2/2! z^3/3! ...) H (1 x x^2 x^3 ...)^T
= exp(z*OF(.,x)), an e.g.f for the f-vectors of A038207 where
OF(n,x)= (2+x)^n is an o.g.f. for the n-th f-vector.
(End)
G.f.: R(0)/2, where R(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - (2*k+1+ (1+y))*x/((2*k+2+ (1+y))*x + 1/R(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 09 2013

E.g.f. for the n-th subdiagonal, n = 0,1,2,..., equals exp(x)*P(n,x), where P(n,x) is the polynomial 2^n*Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*x^k/k!. For example, the e.g.f. for the third subdiagonal is exp(x)*(8 + 24*x + 12*x^2 + 4*x^3/3) = 8 + 32*x + 80*x^2/2! + 160*x^3/3! + .... - Peter Bala, Mar 05 2017
