In general the m-th power of A007318 is given by: T(0, 0) = 1, T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + m*T(n-1, k), where n is the row-index and k is the column; also T(n, k) = m^(n-k)*C(n, k).
Triangle T(n, k) read by rows; given by A000007 DELTA A000007, where DELTA is Deléham's operator defined in A084938.
Let P(n+1) = the number of integer partitions of (n+1); let p(i) = the number of parts of the i-th partition of (n+1); let d(i) = the number of different parts of the i-th partition of (n+1); let m(i, j) = multiplicity of the j-th part of the i-th partition of (n+1). Define the operator Sum_{i=1..P(n+1), p(i)=k+1} as the sum running from i=1 to i=P(n+1) but taking only partitions with p(i)=(k+1) parts into account. Define the operator Product_{j=1..d(i)} = product running from j=1 to j=d(i). Then C(n, k) = Sum_{p(i)=(k+1), i=1..P(n+1)} p(i)! / [Product_{j=1..d(i)} m(i, j)!]. E.g., C(5, 3) = 10 because n=6 has the following partitions with m=3 parts: (114), (123), (222). For their multiplicities one has: (114): 3!/(2!*1!) = 3; (123): 3!/(1!*1!*1!) = 6; (222): 3!/3! = 1. The sum is 3 + 6 + 1 = 10 = C(5, 3). - Thomas Wieder, Jun 03 2005

Let A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(n*(n+1)/2)*(1+x)^n be the g.f. of the flattened triangle:
A(x) = 1 + (x + x^2) + (x^3 + 2*x^4 + x^5) + (x^6 + 3*x^7 + 3*x^8 + x^9) + ...
then A(x) equals the series Sum_{n>=0} (1+x)^n*x^n*Product_{k=1..n} (1-(1+x)*x^(2*k-1))/(1-(1+x)*x^(2*k));
also, A(x) equals the continued fraction 1/(1- x*(1+x)/(1+ x*(1-x)*(1+x)/(1- x^3*(1+x)/(1+ x^2*(1-x^2)*(1+x)/(1- x^5*(1+x)/(1+ x^3*(1-x^3)*(1+x)/(1- x^7*(1+x)/(1+ x^4*(1-x^4)*(1+x)/(1- ...))))))))).
These formulas are due to (1) a q-series identity and (2) a partial elliptic theta function expression. (End)

There is a relation between the e.g.f.'s of the rows and the diagonals of the triangle, namely, exp(x) * e.g.f. for row n = e.g.f. for diagonal n. For example, for n = 3 we have exp(x)*(1 + 3*x + 3*x^2/2! + x^3/3!) = 1 + 4*x + 10*x^2/2! + 20*x^3/3! + 35*x^4/4! + .... This property holds more generally for the Riordan arrays of the form ( f(x), x/(1 - x) ), where f(x) is an o.g.f. of the form 1 + f_1*x + f_2*x^2 + .... See, for example, A055248 and A106516.

The row polynomials R(n, x) of Riordan triangles R = (G(x), F(x)), with F(x)= x*Fhat(x), belong to the class of Boas-Buck polynomials (see the reference). Hence they satisfy the Boas-Buck identity (we use the notation of Rainville, Theorem 50, p. 141):
(E_x - n*1)*R(n, x) = -Sum_{k=0..n-1} (alpha(k)*1 + beta(k)*E_x)*R(n-1.k, x), for n >= 0, where E_x = x*d/dx (Euler operator). The Boas-Buck sequences are given by alpha(k) := [x^k] ((d/dx)log(G(x))) and beta(k) := [x^k] (d/dx)log(Fhat(x)).
This entails a recurrence for the sequence of column m of the Riordan triangle T, n > m >= 0: T(n, m) = (1/(n-m))*Sum_{k=m..n-1} (alpha(n-1-k) + m*beta(n-1-k))*T(k, m), with input T(m,m).
For the present case the Boas-Buck identity for the row polynomials is (E_x - n*1)*R(n, x) = -Sum_{k=0..n-1} 2^(2*k+1)*(1 + 2*E_x)*R(n-1-k, x), for n >= 0. For the ensuing recurrence for the columns m of the triangle T see the formula and example section. (End)
From Peter Bala, Mar 04 2018: (Start)
The following two remarks are particular cases of more general results for Riordan arrays of the form (f(x), x/(1 - k*x)).
1) Let R(n,x) denote the n-th row polynomial of this triangle. The polynomial R(n,4*x) has the e.g.f. Sum_{k = 0..n} T(n,k)*(4*x)/k!. The e.g.f. for the n-th diagonal of the triangle (starting at n = 0 for the main diagonal) equals exp(x) * the e.g.f. for the polynomial R(n,4*x). For example, when n = 3 we have exp(x)*(20 + 30*(4*x) + 10*(4*x)^2/2! + (4*x)^3/3!) = 20 + 140*x + 420*x^2/2! + 924*x^3/3! + 1716*x^4/4! + ....
2) Let P(n,x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} T(n,k)*x^(n-k) denote the n-th row polynomial in descending powers of x. P(n,x) is the n-th degree Taylor polynomial of (1 + 4*x)^(n-1/2) about 0. For example, for n = 4 we have (1 + 4*x)^(7/2) = 70*x^4 + 140*x^3 + 70*x^2 + 14*x + 1 + O(x^5).

T(n, m) = binomial(2*n, n)*binomial(n, m)/binomial(2*m, m), n >= m >= 0.
G.f. for column m: ((x/(1-4*x))^m)/sqrt(1-4*x).
Recurrence from the A-sequence given above: a(n,m) = a(n-1,m-1) + 4*a(n-1,m), for n >= m >= 1.
Recurrence from the Z-sequence given above: a(n,0) = Sum_{j=0..n-1} Z(j)*a(n-1,j), n >= 1; a(0,0)=1.
As a number triangle, T(n,k) = C(2*n,n)*C(n,k)/C(2*k,k) = C(n-1/2,n-k)*4^(n-k). - Paul Barry, Apr 14 2010
From Peter Bala, Apr 11 2012: (Start):
One of three infinite families of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1 (see Bober, Theorem 1.2). The other two are A007318 and A068555.
The triangular array equals exp(S), where the infinitesimal generator S has [2,6,10,14,18,...] on the main subdiagonal and zeros elsewhere.
Recurrence equation for the square array: T(n+1,k) = (k+1)/(4*n+2)*T(n,k+1). (End)
T(n,k) = 4^(n-k)*A006882(2*n - 1)/(A006882(2*n - 2*k)*A006882(2*k - 1)) = 4^(n-k)*(2*n - 1)!!/((2*n - 2*k)!*(2*k - 1)!!). - Peter Bala, Nov 07 2016
Boas-Buck recurrence for column m, m > n >= 0: T(n, m) = (2*(2*m+1)/(n-m))*Sum_{k=m..n-1} 4^(n-1-k)*T(k, m), with input T(n, n) = 1. See a comment above. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 10 2017
From Peter Bala, Aug 13 2021: (Start)
Analogous to the binomial transform we have the following sequence transformation formula: g(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} T(n,k)*b^(n-k)*f(k) iff f(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*T(n,k)*b^(n-k)*g(k). See Prodinger, bottom of p. 413, with b replaced with 4*b, c = 1 and d = 1/2.
Equivalently, if F(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} f(n)*x^n and G(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} g(n)*x^n are a pair of formal power series then
G(x) = 1/sqrt(1 - 4*b*x) * F(x/(1 - 4*b*x)) iff F(x) = 1/sqrt(1 + 4*b*x) * G(x/(1 + 4*b*x)).
The m-th power of this array has entries m^(n-k)*T(n,k). (End)
