Also the associated Sheffer triangle to Sheffer triangle A111595.
Coefficients of Laguerre polynomials (-1)^n * n! * L(n,-1,x), which equals (-1)^n * Lag(n,x,-1) below. Lag(n,Lag(.,x,-1),-1) = x^n evaluated umbrally, i.e., with (Lag(.,x,-1))^k = Lag(k,x,-1). - Tom Copeland, Apr 26 2014
Without row n=0 and column m=0 this is, up to signs, the Lah triangle A008297.
The unsigned column sequences are (with leading zeros): A000142, A001286, A001754, A001755, A001777, A001778, A111597-A111600 for m=1..10.
The row polynomials p(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m, together with the row polynomials s(n,x) of A111595 satisfy the exponential (or binomial) convolution identity s(n,x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*s(k,x)*p(n-k,y), n>=0.
Exponential Riordan array [1,x/(1+x)]. Inverse of the exponential Riordan array [1,x/(1-x)], which is the unsigned version of A111596. - Paul Barry, Apr 12 2007
For the unsigned subtriangle without column number m=0 and row number n=0, see A105278.
Unsigned triangle also matrix product |S1|*S2 of Stirling number matrices.
The unsigned row polynomials are Lag(n,-x,-1), the associated Laguerre polynomials of order -1 with negated argument. See Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, Abramowitz and Stegun and Rota (Finite Operator Calculus) for extensive formulas. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2007, Sep 09 2008
An infinitesimal matrix generator for unsigned A111596 is given by A132792. - Tom Copeland, Nov 22 2007
From the formalism of A132792 and A133314 for n > k, unsigned A111596(n,k) = a(k) * a(k+1)...a(n-1) / (n-k)! = a generalized factorial, where a(n) = A002378(n) = n-th term of first subdiagonal of unsigned A111596. Hence Deutsch's remark in A002378 provides an interpretation of A111596(n,k) in terms of combinations of certain circular binary words. - Tom Copeland, Nov 22 2007
Given T(n,k)= A111596(n,k) and matrices A and B with A(n,k) = T(n,k)*a(n-k) and B(n,k) = T(n,k)*b(n-k), then A*B = C where C(n,k) = T(n,k)*[a(.)+b(.)]^(n-k), umbrally. - Tom Copeland, Aug 27 2008
Operationally, the unsigned row polynomials may be expressed as p_n(:xD:) = x*:Dx:^n*x^{-1}=x*D^nx^n*x^{-1}= n!*binomial(xD+n-1,n) = (-1)^n n! binomial(-xD,n) = n!L(n,-1,-:xD:), where, by definition, :AB:^n = A^nB^n for any two operators A and B, D = d/dx, and L(n,-1,x) is the Laguerre polynomial of order -1. A similarity transformation of the operators :Dx:^n generates the higher order Laguerre polynomials, which can also be expressed in terms of rising or falling factorials or Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions (cf. the Mathoverflow post). - Tom Copeland, Sep 21 2019

Examples

			Binomial convolution of row polynomials: p(3,x) = 6*x-6*x^2+x^3; p(2,x) = -2*x+x^2, p(1,x) = x, p(0,x) = 1,
together with those from A111595: s(3,x) = 9*x-6*x^2+x^3; s(2,x) = 1-2*x+x^2, s(1,x) = x, s(0,x) = 1; therefore
9*(x+y)-6*(x+y)^2+(x+y)^3 = s(3,x+y) = 1*s(0,x)*p(3,y) + 3*s(1,x)*p(2,y) + 3*s(2,x)*p(1,y) +1*s(3,x)*p(0,y) = (6*y-6*y^2+y^3) + 3*x*(-2*y+y^2) + 3*(1-2*x+x^2)*y + 9*x-6*x^2+x^3.

Formula

E.g.f. m-th column: ((x/(1+x))^m)/m!, m>=0.
E.g.f. for row polynomials p(n, x) is exp(x*y/(1+y)).
a(n, m) = ((-1)^(n-m))*|A008297(n, m)| = ((-1)^(n-m))*(n!/m!)*binomial(n-1, m-1), n>=m>=1; a(0, 0)=1; else 0.
a(n, m) = -(n-1+m)*a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1), n>=m>=0, a(n, -1):=0, a(0, 0)=1; a(n, m)=0 if n
|a(n,m)| = Sum_{k=m..n} |S1(n,k)|*S2(k,m), n>=0. S2(n,m):=A048993. S1(n,m):=A048994. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 04 2007
From Tom Copeland, Nov 21 2011: (Start)
For this Lah triangle, the n-th row polynomial is given umbrally by
(-1)^n n! binomial(-Bell.(-x),n), where Bell_n(-x)= exp(x)(xd/dx)^n exp(-x), the n-th Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomial with neg. arg., (cf. A008277). E.g., 2! binomial(-Bell.(-x),2) = -Bell.(-x)*(-Bell.(-x)-1) = Bell_2(-x)+Bell_1(-x) = -2x+x^2.
A Dobinski relation is (-1)^n n! binomial(-Bell.(-x),n)= (-1)^n n! e^x Sum_{j>=0} (-1)^j binomial(-j,n)x^j/j!= n! e^x Sum_{j>=0} (-1)^j binomial(j-1+n,n)x^j/j!. See the Copeland link for the relation to inverse Mellin transform. (End)
The n-th row polynomial is (-1/x)^n e^x (x^2*D_x)^n e^(-x). - Tom Copeland, Oct 29 2012
Let f(.,x)^n = f(n,x) = x!/(x-n)!, the falling factorial,and r(.,x)^n = r(n,x) = (x-1+n)!/(x-1)!, the rising factorial, then the Lah polynomials, Lah(n,t)= n!*Sum{k=1..n} binomial(n-1,k-1)(-t)^k/k! (extra sign factor on odd rows), give the transform Lah(n,-f(.,x))= r(n,x), and Lah(n,r(.,x))= (-1)^n * f(n,x). - Tom Copeland, Oct 04 2014
|T(n,k)| = Sum_{j=0..2*(n-k)} A254881(n-k,j)*k^j/(n-k)!. Note that A254883 is constructed analogously from A254882. - Peter Luschny, Feb 10 2015
The T(n,k) are the inverse Bell transform of [1!,2!,3!,...] and |T(n,k)| are the Bell transform of [1!,2!,3!,...]. See A264428 for the definition of the Bell transform and A264429 for the definition of the inverse Bell transform. - Peter Luschny, Dec 20 2015
Dividing each n-th diagonal by n!, where the main diagonal is n=1, generates a shifted, signed Narayana matrix A001263. - Tom Copeland, Sep 23 2020
