a(n-2) is the number of full Steiner topologies on n points with n-2 Steiner points. [corrected by Lyle Ramshaw, Jul 20 2022]
a(n) is also the number of perfect matchings in the complete graph K(2n). - Ola Veshta (olaveshta(AT)my-deja.com), Mar 25 2001

For n >= 1 a(n) is the number of permutations in the symmetric group S_(2n) whose cycle decomposition is a product of n disjoint transpositions. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 21 2001
a(n) is the number of distinct products of n+1 variables with commutative, nonassociative multiplication. - Andrew Walters (awalters3(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 17 2004. For example, a(3)=15 because the product of the four variables w, x, y and z can be constructed in exactly 15 ways, assuming commutativity but not associativity: 1. w(x(yz)) 2. w(y(xz)) 3. w(z(xy)) 4. x(w(yz)) 5. x(y(wz)) 6. x(z(wy)) 7. y(w(xz)) 8. y(x(wz)) 9. y(z(wx)) 10. z(w(xy)) 11. z(x(wy)) 12. z(y(wx)) 13. (wx)(yz) 14. (wy)(xz) 15. (wz)(xy).
a(n) = E(X^(2n)), where X is a standard normal random variable (i.e., X is normal with mean = 0, variance = 1). So for instance a(3) = E(X^6) = 15, etc. See Abramowitz and Stegun or Hoel, Port and Stone. - Jerome Coleman, Apr 06 2004
Second Eulerian transform of 1,1,1,1,1,1,... The second Eulerian transform transforms a sequence s to a sequence t by the formula t(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} E(n,k)s(k), where E(n,k) is a second-order Eulerian number (A008517). - Ross La Haye, Feb 13 2005

a(n) is the number of binary total partitions of n+1 (each non-singleton block must be partitioned into exactly two blocks) or, equivalently, the number of unordered full binary trees with n+1 labeled leaves (Stanley, ex 5.2.6). - Mitch Harris, Aug 01 2006

a(n) is the number of increasing ordered rooted trees on n+1 vertices where "increasing" means the vertices are labeled 0,1,2,...,n so that each path from the root has increasing labels. Increasing unordered rooted trees are counted by the factorial numbers A000142. - David Callan, Oct 26 2006
Number of perfect multi Skolem-type sequences of order n. - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 24 2006
a(n) = total weight of all Dyck n-paths (A000108) when each path is weighted with the product of the heights of the terminal points of its upsteps. For example with n=3, the 5 Dyck 3-paths UUUDDD, UUDUDD, UUDDUD, UDUUDD, UDUDUD have weights 1*2*3=6, 1*2*2=4, 1*2*1=2, 1*1*2=2, 1*1*1=1 respectively and 6+4+2+2+1=15. Counting weights by height of last upstep yields A102625. - David Callan, Dec 29 2006
a(n) is the number of increasing ternary trees on n vertices. Increasing binary trees are counted by ordinary factorials (A000142) and increasing quaternary trees by triple factorials (A007559). - David Callan, Mar 30 2007
From Tom Copeland, Nov 13 2007, clarified in first and extended in second paragraph, Jun 12 2021: (Start)
a(n) has the e.g.f. (1-2x)^(-1/2) = 1 + x + 3*x^2/2! + ..., whose reciprocal is (1-2x)^(1/2) = 1 - x - x^2/2! - 3*x^3/3! - ... = b(0) - b(1)*x - b(2)*x^2/2! - ... with b(0) = 1 and b(n+1) = -a(n) otherwise. By the formalism of A133314, Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*b(k)*a(n-k) = 0^n where 0^0 := 1. In this sense, the sequence a(n) is essentially self-inverse. See A132382 for an extension of this result. See A094638 for interpretations.
This sequence aerated has the e.g.f. e^(t^2/2) = 1 + t^2/2! + 3*t^4/4! + ... = c(0) + c(1)*t + c(2)*t^2/2! + ... and the reciprocal e^(-t^2/2); therefore, Sum_{k=0..n} cos(Pi k/2)*binomial(n,k)*c(k)*c(n-k) = 0^n; i.e., the aerated sequence is essentially self-inverse. Consequently, Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(2n,2k)*a(k)*a(n-k) = 0^n. (End)

This is also the number of ways of arranging the elements of n distinct pairs, assuming the order of elements is significant but the pairs are not distinguishable, i.e., arrangements which are the same after permutations of the labels are equivalent.
If this sequence and A000680 are denoted by a(n) and b(n) respectively, then a(n) = b(n)/n! where n! = the number of ways of permuting the pair labels.
For example, there are 90 ways of arranging the elements of 3 pairs [1 1], [2 2], [3 3] when the pairs are distinguishable: A = { [112233], [112323], ..., [332211] }.
By applying the 6 relabeling permutations to A, we can partition A into 90/6 = 15 subsets: B = { {[112233], [113322], [221133], [223311], [331122], [332211]}, {[112323], [113232], [221313], [223131], [331212], [332121]}, ....}
Each subset or equivalence class in B represents a unique pattern of pair relationships. For example, subset B1 above represents {3 disjoint pairs} and subset B2 represents {1 disjoint pair + 2 interleaved pairs}, with the order being significant (contrast A132101). (End)
A139541(n) = a(n) * a(2*n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 25 2008

From Emeric Deutsch, Jun 05 2009: (Start)
a(n) is the number of adjacent transpositions in all fixed-point-free involutions of {1,2,...,2n}. Example: a(2)=3 because in 2143=(12)(34), 3412=(13)(24), and 4321=(14)(23) we have 2 + 0 + 1 adjacent transpositions.
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} k*A079267(n,k).

a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*H(2*n,0), where H(n,x) is the probabilists' Hermite polynomial. The generating function for the probabilists' Hermite polynomials is as follows: exp(x*t-t^2/2) = Sum_{i>=0} H(i,x)*t^i/i!. - Leonid Bedratyuk, Oct 31 2009

a(n) is the number of subsets of {1,...,n^2} that contain exactly k elements from {1,...,k^2} for k=1,...,n. For example, a(3)=15 since there are 15 subsets of {1,2,...,9} that satisfy the conditions, namely, {1,2,5}, {1,2,6}, {1,2,7}, {1,2,8}, {1,2,9}, {1,3,5}, {1,3,6}, {1,3,7}, {1,3,8}, {1,3,9}, {1,4,5}, {1,4,6}, {1,4,7}, {1,4,8}, and {1,4,9}. - Dennis P. Walsh, Dec 02 2011

For n>0: a(n) is also the determinant of the symmetric n X n matrix M defined by M(i,j) = min(i,j)^2 for 1 <= i,j <= n. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jan 14 2013

a(n) is the size of the Brauer monoid on 2n points (see A227545). - James Mitchell, Jul 28 2013
For n>1: a(n) is the numerator of M(n)/M(1) where the numbers M(i) have the property that M(n+1)/M(n) ~ n-1/2 (for example, large Kendell-Mann numbers, see A000140 or A181609, as n --> infinity). - Mikhail Gaichenkov, Jan 14 2014
a(n) = the number of upper-triangular matrix representations required for the symbolic representation of a first order central moment of the multivariate normal distribution of dimension 2(n-1), i.e., E[X_1*X_2...*X_(2n-2)|mu=0, Sigma]. See vignette for symmoments R package on CRAN and Phillips reference below. - Kem Phillips, Aug 10 2014
For n>1: a(n) is the number of Feynman diagrams of order 2n (number of internal vertices) for the vacuum polarization with one charged loop only, in quantum electrodynamics. - Robert Coquereaux, Sep 15 2014
Aerated with intervening zeros (1,0,1,0,3,...) = a(n) (cf. A123023), the e.g.f. is e^(t^2/2), so this is the base for the Appell sequence A099174 with e.g.f. e^(t^2/2) e^(x*t) = exp(P(.,x),t) = unsigned A066325(x,t), the probabilist's (or normalized) Hermite polynomials. P(n,x) = (a. + x)^n with (a.)^n = a_n and comprise the umbral compositional inverses for A066325(x,t) = exp(UP(.,x),t), i.e., UP(n,P(.,t)) = x^n = P(n,UP(.,t)), where UP(n,t) are the polynomials of A066325 and, e.g., (P(.,t))^n = P(n,t). - Tom Copeland, Nov 15 2014
a(n) = the number of relaxed compacted binary trees of right height at most one of size n. A relaxed compacted binary tree of size n is a directed acyclic graph consisting of a binary tree with n internal nodes, one leaf, and n pointers. It is constructed from a binary tree of size n, where the first leaf in a post-order traversal is kept and all other leaves are replaced by pointers. These links may point to any node that has already been visited by the post-order traversal. The right height is the maximal number of right-edges (or right children) on all paths from the root to any leaf after deleting all pointers. The number of unbounded relaxed compacted binary trees of size n is A082161(n). See the Genitrini et al. link. - Michael Wallner, Jun 20 2017
Also the number of distinct adjacency matrices in the n-ladder rung graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jul 22 2017
From Christopher J. Smyth, Jan 26 2018: (Start)
a(n) = the number of essentially different ways of writing a probability distribution taking n+1 values as a sum of products of binary probability distributions. See comment of Mitch Harris above. This is because each such way corresponds to a full binary tree with n+1 leaves, with the leaves labeled by the values. (This comment is due to Niko Brummer.)
Also the number of binary trees with root labeled by an (n+1)-set S, its n+1 leaves by the singleton subsets of S, and other nodes labeled by subsets T of S so that the two daughter nodes of the node labeled by T are labeled by the two parts of a 2-partition of T. This also follows from Mitch Harris' comment above, since the leaf labels determine the labels of the other vertices of the tree.

a(n) is the n-th moment of the chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom (equivalent to Coleman's Apr 06 2004 comment). - Bryan R. Gillespie, Mar 07 2021
Let b(n) = 0 for n odd and b(2k) = a(k); i.e., let the sequence b(n) be an aerated version of this entry. After expanding the differential operator (x + D)^n and normal ordering the resulting terms, the integer coefficient of the term x^k D^m is n! b(n-k-m) / [(n-k-m)! k! m!] with 0 <= k,m <= n and (k+m) <= n. E.g., (x+D)^2 = x^2 + 2xD + D^2 + 1 with D = d/dx. The result generalizes to the raising (R) and lowering (L) operators of any Sheffer polynomial sequence by replacing x by R and D by L and follows from the disentangling relation e^{t(L+R)} = e^{t^2/2} e^{tR} e^{tL}. Consequently, these are also the coefficients of the reordered 2^n permutations of the binary symbols L and R under the condition LR = RL + 1. E.g., (L+R)^2 = LL + LR + RL + RR = LL + 2RL + RR + 1. (Cf. A344678.) - Tom Copeland, May 25 2021

Lando and Zvonkin present several scenarios in which the double factorials occur in their role of enumerating perfect matchings (pairings) and as the nonzero moments of the Gaussian e^(x^2/2).
Speyer and Sturmfels (p. 6) state that the number of facets of the abstract simplicial complex known as the tropical Grassmannian G'''(2,n), the space of phylogenetic T_n trees (see A134991), or Whitehouse complex is a shifted double factorial.
These are also the unsigned coefficients of the x[2]^m terms in the partition polynomials of A134685 for compositional inversion of e.g.f.s, a refinement of A134991.
a(n)*2^n = A001813(n) and A001813(n)/(n+1)! = A000108(n), the Catalan numbers, the unsigned coefficients of the x[2]^m terms in the partition polynomials A133437 for compositional inversion of o.g.f.s, a refinement of A033282, A126216, and A086810. Then the double factorials inherit a multitude of analytic and combinatoric interpretations from those of the Catalan numbers, associahedra, and the noncrossing partitions of A134264 with the Catalan numbers as unsigned-row sums. (End)
Connections among the Catalan numbers A000108, the odd double factorials, values of the Riemann zeta function and its derivative for integer arguments, and series expansions of the reduced action for the simple harmonic oscillator and the arc length of the spiral of Archimedes are given in the MathOverflow post on the Riemann zeta function. - Tom Copeland, Oct 02 2021
b(n) = a(n) / (n! 2^n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^n binomial(n,k) (-1)^k a(k) / (k! 2^k) = (1-b.)^n, umbrally; i.e., the normalized double factorial a(n) is self-inverse under the binomial transform. This can be proved by applying the Euler binomial transformation for o.g.f.s Sum_{n >= 0} (1-b.)^n x^n = (1/(1-x)) Sum_{n >= 0} b_n (x / (x-1))^n to the o.g.f. (1-x)^{-1/2} = Sum_{n >= 0} b_n x^n. Other proofs are suggested by the discussion in Watson on pages 104-5 of transformations of the Bessel functions of the first kind with b(n) = (-1)^n binomial(-1/2,n) = binomial(n-1/2,n) = (2n)! / (n! 2^n)^2. - Tom Copeland, Dec 10 2022

a(n) is also the size of the automorphism group of the graph (edge graph) of the n-dimensional hypercube and also of the geometric automorphism group of the hypercube (the two groups are isomorphic). This group is an extension of an elementary Abelian group (C_2)^n by S_n. (C_2 is the cyclic group with two elements and S_n is the symmetric group.) - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Feb 21 2001
Then a(n) appears in the power series: sqrt(1+sin(y)) = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^floor(n/2)*y^(n)/a(n) and sqrt((1+cos(y))/2) = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*y^(2n)/a(2n). - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 02 2002

Define a "downgrade" to be the permutation d which places the items of a permutation p in descending order. This note concerns those permutations that are equal to their double-downgrades. The number of permutations of order 2n having this property are equinumerous with those of order 2n+1. a(n) = number of double-downgrading permutations of order 2n and 2n+1. - Eugene McDonnell (eemcd(AT)mac.com), Oct 27 2003
a(n) = (Integral_{x=0..Pi/2} cos(x)^(2*n+1) dx) where the denominators are b(n) = (2*n)!/(n!*2^n). - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)excite.com), Mar 02 2004

a(n) is the number of increasing plane trees with n+1 edges. (In a plane tree, each subtree of the root is an ordered tree but the subtrees of the root may be cyclically rotated.) Increasing means the vertices are labeled 0,1,2,...,n+1 and each child has a greater label than its parent. Cf. A001147 for increasing ordered trees, A000142 for increasing unordered trees and A000111 for increasing 0-1-2 trees. - David Callan, Dec 22 2006

a(n) = number of permutations of the multiset {1,1,2,2,...,n,n,n+1,n+1} such that between the two occurrences of i, there is exactly one entry >i, for i=1,2,...,n. Example: a(2) = 8 counts 121323, 131232, 213123, 231213, 232131, 312132, 321312, 323121. Proof: There is always exactly one entry between the two 1s (when n>=1). Given a permutation p in A(n) (counted by a(n)), record the position i of the first 1, then delete both 1s and subtract 1 from every entry to get a permutation q in A(n-1). The mapping p -> (i,q) is a bijection from A(n) to the Cartesian product [1,2n] X A(n-1). - David Callan, Nov 29 2007

Equals (-1)^n * (1, 1, 2, 8, 48, ...) dot (1, -3, 5, -7, 9, ...).
Example: a(4) = 384 = (1, 1, 2, 8, 48) dot (1, -3, 5, -7, 9) = (1, -3, 10, -56, 432). (End)

Assuming n starts at 0, a(n) appears to be the number of Gray codes on n bits. It certainly is the number of Gray codes on n bits isomorphic to the canonical one. Proof: There are 2^n different starting positions for each code. Also, each code has a particular pattern of bit positions that are flipped (for instance, 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 for n=3), and these bit position patterns can be permuted in n! ways. - D. J. Schreffler (ds1404(AT)txstate.edu), Jul 18 2010

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.

Previous name was: A triangle of numbers related to the triangle A035324; generalization of Stirling numbers of second kind A008277 and Lah numbers A008297.
If one replaces in the recurrence the '2' by '0', resp. '1', one obtains the Lah-number, resp. Stirling-number of 2nd kind, triangle A008297, resp. A008277.
The product of two lower triangular Jabotinsky matrices (see A039692 for the Knuth 1992 reference) is again such a Jabotinsky matrix: J(n,m) = Sum_{j=m..n} J1(n,j)*J2(j,m). The e.g.f.s of the first columns of these triangular matrices are composed in the reversed order: f(x)=f2(f1(x)). With f1(x)=-(log(1-2*x))/2 for J1(n,m)=|A039683(n,m)| and f2(x)=exp(x)-1 for J2(n,m)=A008277(n,m) one has therefore f2(f1(x))=1/sqrt(1-2*x) - 1 = f(x) for J(n,m)=a(n,m). This proves the matrix product given below. The m-th column of a Jabotinsky matrix J(n,m) has e.g.f. (f(x)^m)/m!, m>=1.
a(n,m) gives the number of forests with m rooted ordered trees with n non-root vertices labeled in an organic way. Organic labeling means that the vertex labels along the (unique) path from the root with label 0 to any leaf (non-root vertex of degree 1) is increasing. Proof: first for m=1 then for m>=2 using the recurrence relation for a(n,m) given below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 07 2007
Also the Bell transform of A001147(n+1) (adding 1,0,0,... as column 0). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 19 2016

Combinatoric meaning of a(3,2)=9: The nine increasing path sequences for the three rooted ordered trees with leaves labeled with 1,2,3 and the root labels 0 are: {(0,3),[(0,1),(0,2)]}; {(0,3),[(0,2),(0,1)]}; {(0,3),(0,1,2)}; {(0,1),[(0,3),(0,2)]}; [(0,1),[(0,2),(0,3)]]; [(0,2),[(0,1),(0,3)]]; {(0,2),[(0,3),(0,1)]}; {(0,1),(0,2,3)}; {(0,2),(0,1,3)}.

E.g.f.: G(x,t) = exp(t*A(x)) = 1 + t*x + (3*t + t^2)*x^2/2! + (15*t + 9*t^2 + t^3)*x^3/3! + ..., where A(x) = -1 + 1/sqrt(1-2*x) satisfies the autonomous differential equation A'(x) = (1+A(x))^3.

The generating function G(x,t) satisfies the partial differential equation t*(dG/dt+G) = (1-2*x)*dG/dx, from which follows the recurrence given above.

The row polynomials are given by D^n(exp(x*t)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator (1+x)^3*d/dx. Cf. A008277 (D = (1+x)*d/dx), A105278 (D = (1+x)^2*d/dx), A035469 (D = (1+x)^4*d/dx) and A049029 (D = (1+x)^5*d/dx). (End)

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

Previous name was: Triangle of numbers related to triangle A048966; generalization of Stirling numbers of second kind A008277, Bessel triangle A001497.
T(n,m) = S2p(-2; n,m), a member of a sequence of triangles including S2p(-1; n,m) = A001497(n-1,m-1) (Bessel triangle) and ((-1)^(n-m))*S2p(1; n,m) = A008277(n, m) (Stirling 2nd kind). T(n,1)= A008544(n-1).
T(n,m), n>=m>=1, enumerates unordered n-vertex m-forests composed of m plane (aka ordered) increasing (rooted) trees where vertices of out-degree r>=0 come in r+1 different types (like an (r+1)-ary vertex). Proof from the e.g.f. of the first column Y(z) = 1 - (1-3*x)^(1/3) and the F. Bergeron et al. eq. (8) Y'(z)= phi(Y(z)), Y(0) = 0, with out-degree o.g.f. phi(w)=1/(1-w)^2. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 12 2007

a(n,m) = R_n^m(a=0, b=4) in the notation of the given 1961 and 1962 references.
a(n,m) is a Jabotinsky matrix, i.e., the monic row polynomials E(n,x) := Sum_{m=1..n} a(n,m)*x^m = Product_{j=0..n-1} (x - 4*j), n >= 1, and E(0,x) := 1 are exponential convolution polynomials (see A039692 for the definition and a Knuth reference).
This is the signed Stirling1 triangle with diagonal d >= 0 (main diagonal d = 0) scaled with 4^d.
Also the Bell transform of the quadruple factorial numbers Product_{k=0..n-1} (4*k+4) (A047053) giving unsigned values and adding 1, 0, 0, 0, ... as column 0. For the definition of the Bell transform, see A264428 and for cross-references A265606. - Peter Luschny, Dec 31 2015

This is a Jabotinsky type exponential convolution triangle related to A001147 (double factorials). For Jabotinsky type triangles See the D. E. Knuth reference given under A039692.
The subtriangle (n>=m>=1) is A001497(n,m) (Bessel).
For the combinatorial interpretation in terms of unordered forests of increasing plane trees see the W. Lang comment and example under A001497.
This is a special type of Sheffer triangle. See the S. Roman reference given under A048854 (the notation here differs).
This triangle (or the A001497 subtriangle) appears as generalized Stirling numbers of the second kind, S2p(-1,n,m):=S2(-k;m,m)*(-1)^(n-m) for k=1, eqs. (27)-(29) of the W. Lang reference.
Also the Bell transform of the double factorial of odd numbers A001147. For the Bell transform of the double factorial of even numbers A000165 see A039683. For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Dec 20 2015

The row polynomials p_n(x) (studied by Carlitz) satisfy the recurrence: p_{n+2}(x) - (2*n+1)*p_{n+1}(x) - x^2*p_n(x) = 0. (End)
