Coefficients are listed in Abramowitz and Stegun order (A036036).

The formula for the inversion of the power series y = F(x) = x*G(x) = x*(1 + Sum_{k>=1} g[k]*(x^k)) is obtained as a corollary of Lagrange's inversion theorem. The result is F^{(-1)}(y)= Sum_{n>=1} P(n-1)*y^n, where P(n):=sum over partitions of n of a(n,k)* G[k], with G[k]:=g[1]^e(k,1)*g[2]^e(k,2)*...*g[n]^e(k,n) if the k-th partition of n, in Abramowitz-Stegun order(see the given ref, pp. 831-2), is [1^e(k,1),2^e(k,2),...,n^e(k,n)], for k=1..p(n):= A000041(n) (partition numbers).

The sequence of row lengths is A000041(n) (partition numbers).

The signs are given by (-1)^m(n,k), with the number of parts m(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..n} e(k,j) of the k-th partition of n. For m(n,k) see A036043.

The proof that the unsigned row sums give Schroeder's little numbers A001003(n) results from their formula ((d^(n-1)/dx^(n-1)) ((1-x)/(1-2*x))^n)/n!|_{x=0}, n >= 1. This formula for A001003 can be proved starting with the compositional inverse of the g.f. of A001003 (which is given there in a comment) and using Lagrange's inversion theorem to recover the original sequence A001003.

For alternate formulations and relation to the geometry of associahedra or Stasheff polytopes (and other combinatorial objects) see A133437. [Tom Copeland, Sep 29 2008]

The coefficients of the row polynomials P(n) with monomials in lexicographically descending order e.g. P(6) = -1*g[6] + 8*g[5]*g[1] + 8*g[4]*g[2] - 36*g[4]*g[1]^2 + 4*g[3]^2 - 72*g[3]*g[2]*g[1] - 12*g[2]^3 + 120*g[3]*g[1]^3 + 180*g[2]^2*g[1]^2 - 330*g[2]*g[1]^4 + 132*g[1]^6 are given in A304462.

The seventh row, [ -1, 8, 8, 4, -36, -72, -12, 120, 180, -330, 132], stands for the row polynomial P(6) with monomials in lexicographically ascending order P(6) = -1*g[0]^5*g[6] + 8*g[0]^4*g[1]*g[5] + 8*g[0]^4*g[2]*g[4] + 4*g[0]^4*g[3]^2 - 36*g[0]^3*g[1]^2*g[4] - 72*g[0]^3*g[1]*g[2]*g[3] - 12*g[0]^3*g[2]^3 + 120*g[0]^2*g[1]^3*g[3] + 180*g[0]^2*g[1]^2*g[2]^2 - 330*g[0]*g[1]^4*g[2] + 132*g[1]^6 = (1/7!)*(differentiate 1/G(x)^7 six times and evaluate at x = 0). This gives the coefficient of y^7 of F^{(-1)}(y).

Formula

For row n >= 1 the row polynomial in the variables g[1], ..., g[n] is P(n) = (1/(n+1)!)*(d^n/dx^n)(1/G(x)^(n+1))|{x=0}. P(0):=1. (d^k/dx^k)G(x)|{x=0} = k!*g[k], k>=1; G(0)=1.

a(n, k) is the coefficient in P(n) of g[1]^e(k, 1)*g[2]^e(k, 2)*..*g[n]^e(k, n) with the k-th partition of n written as [1^e(k, 1), 2^e(k, 2), ..., n^e(k, n)] in Abramowitz-Stegun order (e(k, j) >= 0; if e(k, j)=0 then j^0 is not recorded).

T(n,k) = (-1)^j*(n+j)!/((n+1)!*Product_{i>=1} s_i!), where (1*s_1 + 2*s_2 + ... = n) is the k-th partition of n and j = s_1 + s_2 ... is the number of parts. - Andrew Howroyd, Feb 01 2022
