Let B_{n}(x) = sum_{j>=0}(exp(j!/(j-n)!*x-1)/j!) and
S(n,k) = k! [x^k] taylor(B_{n}(x)), where [x^k] denotes the
coefficient of x^k in the Taylor series for B_{n}(x).
Then S(n,k) (n>0, k>=0) is the square array representation of the triangle.
To illustrate the cross-references of T(n,k) when written as a square array.

Formula

a(n, m) = Bell(m;n-(m-1)), n>= m-1 >=0, with Bell(m;k) := Sum_{p=m..m*k} S2(m;k, p), where S2(m;k, p) := (((-1)^p)/p!) * Sum_{r=m..p} ((-1)^r)*binomial(p, r)*fallfac(r, m)^k; with fallfac(n, m) := A008279(n, m) (falling factorials) and m<=p<=k*m, k>=1, m=1, 2, ..., else 0. From eqs.(6) with r=s->m and eq.(19) with S_{r, r}(n, k)-> S2(r;n, k) of the Blasiak et al. reference. [Corrected by Sean A. Irvine, Jun 03 2024]
a(n, m) = (Sum_{k>=m} fallfac(k, m)^(n-(m-1)))/exp(1), n>=m-1>=0, else 0. From eq.(26) with r->m of the Schork reference which is rewritten eq.(11) of the original Blasiak et al. reference.
E.g.f. m-th column (no leading zeros): (Sum_{k>=m} exp(fallfac(k, m)*x)/k!) + A000522(m)/m!)/exp(1). Rewritten from the top of p. 4656 of the Schork reference.
