cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

a(n,m)= R_n^m(a=0,b=10) in the notation of the given reference.
a(n,m) is a Jabotinsky matrix, i.e., the monic row polynomials E(n,x) := sum(a(n,m)*x^m,m=1..n) = product(x-10*j,j=0..n-1), n >= 1, E(0,x) := 1, are exponential convolution polynomials (see A039692 for the definition and a Knuth reference).
Also the Bell transform of the sequence (-1)^n*A051262(n) without column 0. For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 28 2016

Examples

			{1}; {-10,1}; {200,-30,1}; {-6000,1100,-60,1}; ... E(3,x) = 200*x-30*x^2+x^3.

First (m=1) (unsigned) column sequence is: A051262(n-1). Row sums (signed triangle): A049212(n-1)*(-1)^(n-1). Row sums (unsigned triangle): A045757(n). b=8: A051187, b=9: A051231.

Programs

  • Maple
    # The function BellMatrix is defined in A264428.
    # Adds (1,0,0,0, ..) as column 0.

Formula

a(n, m) = a(n-1, m-1) - 10*(n-1)*a(n-1, m), n >= m >= 1; a(n, m) := 0, n
