The indexing used here follows that given in the classic books by Riordan and Comtet. For two other versions see A173018 and A123125. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 21 2010
Coefficients of Eulerian polynomials. Number of permutations of n objects with k-1 rises. Number of increasing rooted trees with n+1 nodes and k leaves.
T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] with k runs. T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] requiring k readings (see the Knuth reference). T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] having k distinct entries in its inversion table. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 09 2004
T(n,k) = number of ways to write the Coxeter element s_{e1}s_{e1-e2}s_{e2-e3}s_{e3-e4}...s_{e_{n-1}-e_n} of the reflection group of type B_n, using s_{e_k} and as few reflections of the form s_{e_i+e_j}, where i = 1, 2, ..., n and j is not equal to i, as possible. - Pramook Khungurn (pramook(AT)mit.edu), Jul 07 2004
Subtriangle for k>=1 and n>=1 of triangle A123125. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 22 2006
T(n,k)/n! also represents the n-dimensional volume of the portion of the n-dimensional hypercube cut by the (n-1)-dimensional hyperplanes x_1 + x_2 + ... x_n = k, x_1 + x_2 + ... x_n = k-1; or, equivalently, it represents the probability that the sum of n independent random variables with uniform distribution between 0 and 1 is between k-1 and k. - Stefano Zunino, Oct 25 2006
[E(.,t)/(1-t)]^n = n!*Lag[n,-P(.,t)/(1-t)] and [-P(.,t)/(1-t)]^n = n!*Lag[n, E(.,t)/(1-t)] umbrally comprise a combinatorial Laguerre transform pair, where E(n,t) are the Eulerian polynomials and P(n,t) are the polynomials in A131758. - Tom Copeland, Sep 30 2007
From Tom Copeland, Oct 07 2008: (Start)
G(x,t) = 1/(1 + (1-exp(x*t))/t) = 1 + 1*x + (2+t)*x^2/2! + (6+6*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... gives row polynomials for A090582, the reverse f-polynomials for the permutohedra (see A019538).
G(x,t-1) = 1 + 1*x + (1+t)*x^2/2! + (1+4*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... gives row polynomials for A008292, the h-polynomials for permutohedra (Postnikov et al.).
G((t+1)*x, -1/(t+1)) = 1 + (1+t)*x + (1+3*t+2*t^2)*x^2/2! + ... gives row polynomials for A028246.

A subexceedant function f on [n] is a map f:[n] -> [n] such that 1 <= f(i) <= i for all i, 1 <= i <= n. T(n,k) equals the number of subexceedant functions f of [n] such that the image of f has cardinality k [Mantaci & Rakotondrajao]. Example T(3,2) = 4: if we identify a subexceedant function f with the word f(1)f(2)...f(n) then the subexceedant functions on [3] are 111, 112, 113, 121, 122 and 123 and four of these functions have an image set of cardinality 2. - Peter Bala, Oct 21 2008
Further to the comments of Tom Copeland above, the n-th row of this triangle is the h-vector of the simplicial complex dual to a permutohedron of type A_(n-1). The corresponding f-vectors are the rows of A019538. For example, 1 + 4*x + x^2 = y^2 + 6*y + 6 and 1 + 11*x + 11*x^2 + x^3 = y^3 + 14*y^2 + 36*y + 24, where x = y + 1, give [1,6,6] and [1,14,36,24] as the third and fourth rows of A019538. The Hilbert transform of this triangle (see A145905 for the definition) is A047969. See A060187 for the triangle of Eulerian numbers of type B (the h-vectors of the simplicial complexes dual to permutohedra of type B). See A066094 for the array of h-vectors of type D. For tables of restricted Eulerian numbers see A144696 - A144699. - Peter Bala, Oct 26 2008
For a natural refinement of A008292 with connections to compositional inversion and iterated derivatives, see A145271. - Tom Copeland, Nov 06 2008
The polynomials E(z,n) = numerator(Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(n+1)*k^n*z^(k-1)) for n >=1 lead directly to the triangle of Eulerian numbers. - Johannes W. Meijer, May 24 2009
From Walther Janous (walther.janous(AT)tirol.com), Nov 01 2009: (Start)
The (Eulerian) polynomials e(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} T(n,k+1)*x^k turn out to be also the numerators of the closed-form expressions of the infinite sums:
S(p,x) = Sum_{j>=0} (j+1)^p*x^j, that is
S(p,x) = e(p,x)/(1-x)^(p+1), whenever |x| < 1 and p is a positive integer.
(Note the inconsistent use of T(n,k) in the section listing the formula section. I adhere tacitly to the first one.) (End)
If n is an odd prime, then all numbers of the (n-2)-th and (n-1)-th rows are in the progression k*n+1. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 01 2011
The Eulerian triangle is an element of the formula for the r-th successive summation of Sum_{k=1..n} k^j which appears to be Sum_{k=1..n} T(j,k-1) * binomial(j-k+n+r, j+r). - Gary Detlefs, Nov 11 2011
Li and Wong show that T(n,k) counts the combinatorially inequivalent star polygons with n+1 vertices and sum of angles (2*k-n-1)*Pi. An equivalent formulation is: define the total sign change S(p) of a permutation p in the symmetric group S_n to be equal to Sum_{i=1..n} sign(p(i)-p(i+1)), where we take p(n+1) = p(1). T(n,k) gives the number of permutations q in S_(n+1) with q(1) = 1 and S(q) = 2*k-n-1. For example, T(3,2) = 4 since in S_4 the permutations (1243), (1324), (1342) and (1423) have total sign change 0. - Peter Bala, Dec 27 2011
Xiong, Hall and Tsao refer to Riordan and mention that a traditional Eulerian number A(n,k) is the number of permutations of (1,2...n) with k weak exceedances. - Susanne Wienand, Aug 25 2014
Connections to algebraic geometry/topology and characteristic classes are discussed in the Buchstaber and Bunkova, the Copeland, the Hirzebruch, the Lenart and Zainoulline, the Losev and Manin, and the Sheppeard links; to the Grassmannian, in the Copeland, the Farber and Postnikov, the Sheppeard, and the Williams links; and to compositional inversion and differential operators, in the Copeland and the Parker links. - Tom Copeland, Oct 20 2015
The bivariate e.g.f. noted in the formulas is related to multiplying edges in certain graphs discussed in the Aluffi-Marcolli link. See p. 42. - Tom Copeland, Dec 18 2016
Distribution of left children in treeshelves is given by a shift of the Eulerian numbers. Treeshelves are ordered binary (0-1-2) increasing trees where every child is connected to its parent by a left or a right link. See A278677, A278678 or A278679 for more definitions and examples. - Sergey Kirgizov, Dec 24 2016
The row polynomial P(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} T(n, k)*x^k appears in the numerator of the o.g.f. G(n, x) = Sum_{m>=0} S(n, m)*x^m with S(n, m) = Sum_{j=0..m} j^n for n >= 1 as G(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} P(n, x)/(1 - x)^(n+2) for n >= 0 (with 0^0=1). See also triangle A131689 with a Mar 31 2017 comment for a rewritten form. For the e.g.f see A028246 with a Mar 13 2017 comment. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 31 2017

Formula

T(n, k) = k * T(n-1, k) + (n-k+1) * T(n-1, k-1), T(1, 1) = 1.
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j * (k-j)^n * binomial(n+1, j).
Row sums = n! = A000142(n) unless n=0. - Michael Somos, Mar 17 2011
E.g.f. A(x, q) = Sum_{n>0} (Sum_{k=1..n} T(n, k) * q^k) * x^n / n! = q * ( e^(q*x) - e^x ) / ( q*e^x - e^(q*x) ) satisfies dA / dx = (A + 1) * (A + q). - Michael Somos, Mar 17 2011
For a column listing, n-th term: T(c, n) = c^(n+c-1) + Sum_{i=1..c-1} (-1)^i/i!*(c-i)^(n+c-1)*Product_{j=1..i} (n+c+1-j). - Randall L Rathbun, Jan 23 2002
From John Robertson (jpr2718(AT)aol.com), Sep 02 2002: (Start)
Four characterizations of Eulerian numbers T(i, n):
1. T(0, n)=1 for n>=1, T(i, 1)=0 for i>=1, T(i, n) = (n-i)T(i-1, n-1) + (i+1)T(i, n-1).
2. T(i, n) = Sum_{j=0..i} (-1)^j*binomial(n+1,j)*(i-j+1)^n for n>=1, i>=0.
3. Let C_n be the unit cube in R^n with vertices (e_1, e_2, ..., e_n) where each e_i is 0 or 1 and all 2^n combinations are used. Then T(i, n)/n! is the volume of C_n between the hyperplanes x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = i and x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = i+1. Hence T(i, n)/n! is the probability that i <= X_1 + X_2 + ... + X_n < i+1 where the X_j are independent uniform [0, 1] distributions. - See Ehrenborg & Readdy reference.
4. Let f(i, n) = T(i, n)/n!. The f(i, n) are the unique coefficients so that (1/(r-1)^(n+1)) Sum_{i=0..n-1} f(i, n) r^{i+1} = Sum_{j>=0} (j^n)/(r^j) whenever n>=1 and abs(r)>1. (End)

From Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2007: (Start)
Bell_n(x) = Sum_{j=0..n} S2(n,j) * x^j = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * Lag(n,-x, j-n) = Sum_{j=0..n} (E(n,j)/n!) * (n!*Lag(n,-x, j-n)) = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(Bell.(x)+j, n) umbrally where Bell_n(x) are the Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomials; S2(n,j), the Stirling numbers of the second kind; E(n,j), the Eulerian numbers; and Lag(n,x,m), the associated Laguerre polynomials of order m.
For x = 0, the equation gives Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(j,n) = 1 for n=0 and 0 for all other n. By substituting the umbral compositional inverse of the Bell polynomials, the lower factorial n!*binomial(y,n), for x in the equation, the Worpitzky identity is obtained; y^n = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(y+j,n).
Note that E(n,j)/n! = E(n,j)/(Sum_{k=0..n} E(n,k)). Also (n!*Lag(n, -1, j-n)) is A086885 with a simple combinatorial interpretation in terms of seating arrangements, giving a combinatorial interpretation to the equation for x=1; n!*Bell_n(1) = n!*Sum_{j=0..n} S2(n,j) = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * (n!*Lag(n, -1, j-n)).

If n is odd prime, then the following consecutive 2*n+1 terms are 1 modulo n: a((n-1)*(n-2)/2+i), i=0..2*n. This chain of terms is maximal in the sense that neither the previous term nor the following one are 1 modulo n. - _Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 01 2011

For k = 0,1,2,... put G(k,x,t) := x -(1+2^k*t)*x^2/2 +(1+2^k*t+3^k*t^2)*x^3/3-(1+2^k*t+3^k*t^2+4^k*t^3)*x^4/4+.... Then the series reversion of G(k,x,t) with respect to x gives an e.g.f. for the present table when k = 0 and for A008517 when k = 1.
The e.g.f. B(x,t) := compositional inverse with respect to x of G(0,x,t) = (exp(x)-exp(x*t))/(exp(x*t)-t*exp(x)) = x + (1+t)*x^2/2! + (1+4*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... satisfies the autonomous differential equation dB/dx = (1+B)*(1+t*B) = 1 + (1+t)*B + t*B^2.
Applying [Bergeron et al., Theorem 1] gives a combinatorial interpretation for the Eulerian polynomials: A(n,t) counts plane increasing trees on n vertices where each vertex has outdegree <= 2, the vertices of outdegree 1 come in 1+t colors and the vertices of outdegree 2 come in t colors. An example is given below. Cf. A008517. Applying [Dominici, Theorem 4.1] gives the following method for calculating the Eulerian polynomials: Let f(x,t) = (1+x)*(1+t*x) and let D be the operator f(x,t)*d/dx.

With e.g.f. A(x,t) = G[x,(t-1)]-1 in Copeland's 2008 comment, the compositional inverse is Ainv(x,t) = log(t-(t-1)/(1+x))/(t-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2011

Let {A(n,x)} n>=1 denote the sequence of Eulerian polynomials beginning [1, 1 + x, 1 + 4*x + x^2, ...]. Given two complex numbers a and b, the polynomial sequence defined by R(n,x) := (x+b)^n*A(n+1,(x+a)/(x+b)), n >= 0, satisfies the recurrence equation R(n+1,x) = d/dx((x+a)*(x+b)*R(n,x)). These polynomials give the row generating polynomials for several triangles in the database including A019538 (a = 0, b = 1), A156992 (a = 1, b = 1), A185421 (a = (1+i)/2, b = (1-i)/2), A185423 (a = exp(i*Pi/3), b = exp(-i*Pi/3)) and A185896 (a = i, b = -i).
(End)
E.g.f.: 1 + x/(T(0) - x*y), where T(k) = 1 + x*(y-1)/(1 + (k+1)/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 07 2013
From Tom Copeland, Sep 18 2014: (Start)
A) Bivariate e.g.f. A(x,a,b)= (e^(ax)-e^(bx))/(a*e^(bx)-b*e^(ax)) = x + (a+b)*x^2/2! + (a^2+4ab+b^2)*x^3/3! + (a^3+11a^2b+11ab^2+b^3)x^4/4! + ...
B) B(x,a,b)= log((1+ax)/(1+bx))/(a-b) = x - (a+b)x^2/2 + (a^2+ab+b^2)x^3/3 - (a^3+a^2b+ab^2+b^3)x^4/4 + ... = log(1+u.*x), with (u.)^n = u_n = h_(n-1)(a,b) a complete homogeneous polynomial, is the compositional inverse of A(x,a,b) in x (see Drake, p. 56).
C) A(x) satisfies dA/dx = (1+a*A)(1+b*A) and can be written in terms of a Weierstrass elliptic function (see Buchstaber & Bunkova).
D) The bivariate Eulerian row polynomials are generated by the iterated derivative ((1+ax)(1+bx)d/dx)^n x evaluated at x=0 (see A145271).
E) A(x,a,b)= -(e^(-ax)-e^(-bx))/(a*e^(-ax)-b*e^(-bx)), A(x,-1,-1) = x/(1+x), and B(x,-1,-1) = x/(1-x).
F) FGL(x,y) = A(B(x,a,b) + B(y,a,b),a,b) = (x+y+(a+b)xy)/(1-ab*xy) is called the hyperbolic formal group law and related to a generalized cohomology theory by Lenart and Zainoulline. (End)
For x > 1, the n-th Eulerian polynomial A(n,x) = (x - 1)^n * log(x) * Integral_{u>=0} (ceiling(u))^n * x^(-u) du. - Peter Bala, Feb 06 2015
Sum_{j>=0} j^n/e^j, for n>=0, equals Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k)e^k/(e-1)^(n+1), a rational function in the variable "e" which evaluates, approximately, to n! when e = A001113 = 2.71828... - Richard R. Forberg, Feb 15 2015
For a fixed k, T(n,k) ~ k^n, proved by induction. - Ran Pan, Oct 12 2015
From A145271, multiply the n-th diagonal (with n=0 the main diagonal) of the lower triangular Pascal matrix by g_n = (d/dx)^n (1+a*x)*(1+b*x) evaluated at x= 0, i.e., g_0 = 1, g_1 = (a+b), g_2 = 2ab, and g_n = 0 otherwise, to obtain the tridiagonal matrix VP with VP(n,k) = binomial(n,k) g_(n-k). Then the m-th bivariate row polynomial of this entry is P(m,a,b) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^(m-1) (1, a+b, 2ab, 0, ...)^T, where S is the shift matrix A129185, representing differentiation in the divided powers basis x^n/n!. Also, P(m,a,b) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^m (0, 1, 0, ...)^T. - Tom Copeland, Aug 02 2016
Cumulatively summing a row generates the n starting terms of the n-th differences of the n-th powers. Applying the finite difference method to x^n, these terms correspond to those before constant n! in the lowest difference row. E.g., T(4,k) is summed as 0+1=1, 1+11=12, 12+11=23, 23+1=4!.

These are also the coefficients occurring in complete Bell polynomials, Faa di Bruno's formula (in its simplest form) and computation of moments from cumulants.
Though the Bell polynomials seem quite unwieldy, they can be computed easily as the determinant of an n-dimensional square matrix. (See, e.g., Coffey (2006) and program below.)
The complete Bell polynomial of the first n primes gives A007446. (End)

A relation between partition polynomials formed from these "refined" Stirling numbers of the second kind and umbral operator trees and Lagrange inversion is presented in the link "Lagrange a la Lah".
For simple diagrams of the relation between connected graphs, cumulants, and A036040, see the references on statistical physics below. In some sense, these graphs are duals of the umbral bouquets presented in "Lagrange a la Lah". (End)
These M3 (Abramowitz-Stegun) partition polynomials are the complete Bell polynomials (see a comment above) with recurrence (see the Wikipedia link) B_0 = 1, B_n = Sum_{k=0..n-1} binomial(n-1,k) * B_{n-1-k}*x[k+1], n >= 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 31 2016
With the indeterminates (x_1, x_2, x_3,...) = (t, -c_2*t, -c_3*t, ...) with c_n > 0, umbrally B(n,a.) = B(n,t)|{t^n = a_n} = 0 and B(j,a.)B(k,a.) = B(j,t)B(k,t)|{t^n =a_n} = d_{j,k} >= 0 is the coefficient of x^j/j!*y^k/k! in the Taylor series expansion of the formal group law FGL(x,y) = f[f^{-1}(x)+f^{-1}(y)], where a_n are the inversion partition polynomials for calculating f(x) from the coefficients of the series expansion of f^{-1}(x) given in A134685. - Tom Copeland, Feb 09 2018
For applications to functionals in quantum field theory, see Figueroa et al., Brouder, Kreimer and Yeats, and Balduf. In the last two papers, the Bell polynomials with the indeterminates (x_1, x_2, x_3,...) = (c_1, 2!c_2, 3!c_3, ...) are equivalent to the partition polynomials of A130561 in the indeterminates c_n. - Tom Copeland, Dec 17 2019

With a_n = n! * b_n = (n-1)! * c_n for n > 0, represent a function with f(0) = a_0 = b_0 = 1 as an
A) exponential generating function (e.g.f), or formal Taylor series: f(x) = e^{a.x} = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} a_n * x^n/n!
B) ordinary generating function (o.g.f.), or formal power series: f(x) = 1/(1-b.x) = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} b_n * x^n
C) logarithmic generating function (l.g.f): f(x) = 1 - log(1 - c.x) = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} c_n * x^n /n.

II) A263916 for the o.g.f.: log[ 1/(1-b.x) ] = log[ 1 - F.(b_1,b_2,...)x ] = -Sum_{n > 0} F_n(b_1,...,b_n) * x^n/n, the Faber polynomials.
Expansions of exp(f(x)-1) are given in

IV) A130561 for an o.g.f.: exp[ b.x/(1-b.x) ] = e^{LAH.(b.,...)x}, the Lah partition polynomials

Since exp and log are a compositional inverse pair, one can extract the indeterminates of the log set of partition polynomials from the exp set and vice versa. For a discussion of the relations among these polynomials and the combinatorics of connected and disconnected graphs/maps, see Novak and LaCroix on classical moments and cumulants and the two books on statistical mechanics referenced below.

Formula

E.g.f.: A(t) = exp(Sum_{k>=1} x[k]*(t^k)/k!).
T(n,m) is the coefficient of ((t^n)/n!)* x[1]^e(m,1)*x[2]^e(m,2)*...*x[n]^e(m,n) in A(t). Here the m-th partition of n, counted in Abramowitz-Stegun(A-St) order, is [1^e(m,1), 2^e(m,2), ..., n^e(m,n)] with e(m,j) >= 0 and if e(m, j)=0 then j^0 is not recorded.
a(n, m) = n!/Product_{j=1..n} j!^e(m,j)*e(m,j)!, with [1^e(m,1), 2^e(m,2), ..., n^e(m, n)] the m-th partition of n in the mentioned A-St order.
With the notation in the Lang reference, x(1) treated as a variable and D the derivative w.r.t. x(1), a raising operator for the polynomial S(n,x(1)) = P3_n(x[1], ..., x[n]) is R = Sum_{n>=0} x(n+1) D^n / n! ; i.e., R S(n, x(1)) = S(n+1, x(1)). The lowering operator is D; i.e., D S(n, x(1)) = n S(n-1, x(1)). The sequence of polynomials is an Appell sequence, so [S(.,x(1)) + y]^n = S(n, x(1) + y). For x(j) = (-1)^(j-1)* (j-1)! for j > 1, S(n, x(1)) = [x(1) - 1]^n + n [x(1) - 1]^(n-1). - Tom Copeland, Aug 01 2008
Raising and lowering operators are given for the partition polynomials formed from A036040 in the link in "Lagrange a la Lah Part I" on page 22. - Tom Copeland, Sep 18 2011
The n-th row is generated by the determinant of [Sum_{k=0..n-1} (x_(k+1)*(dP_n)^k/k!) - S_n], where dP_n is the n X n submatrix of A132440 and S_n is the n X n submatrix of A129185. The coefficients are flagged by the partitions of n represented by the monomials in the indeterminates x_k. Letting all x_n = t, generates the Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomials of A008277. - Tom Copeland, May 03 2014
The partition polynomials of A036039 are obtained by substituting (n-1)! x[n] for x[n] in the partition polynomials of this entry. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2015
-(n-1)! F(n, B(1, x[1]), B(2, x[1], x[2])/2!, ..., B(n, x[1], ..., x[n])/n!) = x[n] extracts the indeterminates of the complete Bell partition polynomials B(n, x[1], ..., x[n]) of this entry, where F(n, x[1], ..., x[n]) are the Faber polynomials of A263916. (Compare with A263634.) - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2015; Sep 09 2016
T(n, m) = A127671(n, m)/A264753(n, m), n >= 1 and 1 <= m <= A000041(n). - Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 12 2016
From Tom Copeland, Sep 07 2016: (Start)
From the connections among the elementary Schur polynomials and the partition polynomials of A130561, A036039 and this array, the partition polynomials of this array satisfy (d/d(x_m)) P(n, x_1, ..., x_n) = binomial(n,m) * P(n-m, x_1, ..., x_(n-m)) with P(k, x_1, ..., x_n) = 0 for k < 0.
Just as in the discussion and example in A130561, the umbral compositional inverse sequence is given by the sequence P(n, x_1, -x_2, -x_3, ..., -x_n).
(End)
The partition polynomials with an index shift can be generated by (v(x) + d/dx)^n v(x). Cf. Guha, p. 12. - Tom Copeland, Jul 19 2018

From Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2011: (Start)
Given analytic functions F(x) and FI(x) such that F(FI(x))=FI(F(x))=x about 0, i.e., they are compositional inverses of each other, then, with g(x) = 1/dFI(x)/dx, a flow function W(s,x) can be defined with the following relations:
W(s,x) = exp(s g(x)d/dx)x = F(s+FI(x)) ,
W(s,0) = F(s) ,
W(0,x) = x ,
dW(0,x)/ds = g(x) = F'[FI(x)] , implying
dW(0,F(x))/ds = g(F(x)) = F'(x) , and
W(s,W(r,x)) = F(s+FI(F(r+FI(x)))) = F(s+r+FI(x)) = W(s+r,x) . (See MF link below.) (End)
dW(s,x)/ds - g(x)dW(s,x)/dx = 0, so (1,-g(x)) are the components of a vector orthogonal to the gradient of W and, therefore, tangent to the contour of W, at (s,x) . - Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2011
Though A139605 contains A145271, the op. of A145271 contains that of A139605 in the sense that exp(s g(x)d/dx) w(x) = w(F(s+FI(x))) = exp((exp(s g(x)d/dx)x)d/du)w(u) evaluated at u=0. This is reflected in the fact that the forest of rooted trees assoc. to (g(x)d/dx)^n, FOR_n, can be generated by removing the single trunk of the planted rooted trees of FOR_(n+1). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2011
Related to formal group laws for elliptic curves (see Hoffman). - Tom Copeland, Feb 24 2012
The functional equation W(s,x) = F(s+FI(x)), or a restriction of it, is sometimes called the Abel equation or Abel's functional equation (see Houzel and Wikipedia) and is related to Schröder's functional equation and Koenigs functions for compositional iterates (Alexander, Goryainov and Kudryavtseva). - Tom Copeland, Apr 04 2012
g(W(s,x)) = F'(s + FI(x)) = dW(s,x)/ds = g(x) dW(s,x)/dx, connecting the operators here to presentations of the Koenigs / Königs function and Loewner / Löwner evolution equations of the Contreras et al. papers. - Tom Copeland, Jun 03 2018
The autonomous differential equation above also appears with a change in variable of the form x = log(u) in the renormalization group equation, or Beta function. See Wikipedia, Zinn-Justin equations 2.10 and 3.11, and Krajewski and Martinetti equation 21. - Tom Copeland, Jul 23 2020
A variant of these partition polynomials appears on p. 83 of Petreolle et al. with the indeterminates e_n there related to those given in the examples below by e_n = n!*(n'). The coefficients are interpreted as enumerating certain types of trees. See also A190015. - Tom Copeland, Oct 03 2022

Let h(x) = log((1+a*x)/(1+b*x))/(a-b); then, g(x) = 1/(dh(x)/dx) = (1+ax)(1+bx), so (0')=1, (1')=a+b, (2')=2ab, evaluated at x=0, and higher order derivatives of g(x) vanish. Therefore, evaluated at x=0,
R^0 g(x) =  1
R^1 g(x) =  a+b
R^2 g(x) = (a+b)^2 + 2ab = a^2 + 4 ab + b^2
R^3 g(x) = (a+b)^3 + 4*(a+b)*2ab = a^3 + 11 a^2*b + 11 ab^2 + b^3
R^4 g(x) = (a+b)^4 + 11*(a+b)^2*2ab + 4*(2ab)^2
         =  a^4 + 26 a^3*b + 66 a^2*b^2 + 26 ab^3 + b^4,
etc., and these bivariate Eulerian polynomials (A008292) are the first few coefficients of h^(-1)(x) = (e^(ax) - e^(bx))/(a*e^(bx) - b*e^(ax)), the inverse of h(x). (End)

A111785 is obtained from A133437 by dividing through the bracketed terms of the P(n,t) by n! and unsigned A111785 is a refinement of A033282 and A126216. - Tom Copeland, Sep 28 2008
For relation to the geometry of associahedra or Stasheff polytopes (and other combinatorial objects) see the Loday and McCammond links. E.g., P(5,t) = (1')^(-9) * [ 14 (2')^4 - 21 (1') (2')^2 (3') + 6 (1')^2 (2') (4')+ 3 (1')^2 (3')^2 - 1 (1')^3 (5') ] * t^5 is related to the 3-D associahedron with 14 vertices (0-D faces), 21 edges (1-D faces), 6 pentagons (2-D faces), 3 rectangles (2-D faces), 1 3-D polytope (3-D faces). Summing over faces of the same dimension gives A033282 or A126216. - Tom Copeland, Sep 29 2008
A relation between this Lagrange inversion for an o.g.f. and partition polynomials formed from the "refined Lah numbers" A130561 is presented in the link "Lagrange a la Lah" along with umbral binary tree representations.
With f(x,t) = x + t*Sum_{n>=2} u_n*x^n, the compositional inverse in x is related to the velocity profile of particles governed by the inviscid Burgers's, or Hopf, eqn. See A001764 and A086810. - Tom Copeland, Feb 15 2014
Newton was aware of this power series expansion for series reversion. See the Ferraro reference p. 75 eqn. 52. - Tom Copeland, Jan 22 2017
The coefficients of the partition polynomials divided by the associated factorial enumerate the faces of the convex, bounded polytopes called the associahedra, and the absolute value of the sum of the renormalized coefficients gives the Euler characteristic of unity for each polytope; i.e., the absolute value of the sum of each row of the array is either n! (unnormalized) or unity (normalized). In addition, the signs of the faces alternate with dimension, and the coefficients of faces with the same dimension for each polytope have the same sign. - Tom Copeland, Nov 13 2019
With u_1 = 1 and the other u_n replaced by suitably signed partition polynomials of A263633, the partition polynomials enumerating the refined noncrossing partitions of A134264 with a shift in indices are obtained (cf. In the Realm of Shadows). - Tom Copeland, Nov 16 2019
Relations between associahedra and oriented n-simplices are presented by Halvorson and by Street. - Tom Copeland, Dec 08 2019
Let f(x;t,n) = x - t * x^(n+1), giving u_1 = (1') = 1 and u_(n+1) = (n+1) = -t. Then inverting in x with t a parameter gives finv(x;t,n) = Sum_{j>=0} {binomial((n+1)*j,j) / (n*j + 1)} * t^j * x^(n*j + 1), which gives the Catalan numbers for n=1, and the Fuss-Catalan sequences for n>1 (see A001764, n=2). Comparing this with the same result in A134264 gives relations between the faces of associahedra and noncrossing partitions (and other combinatorial constructs related to these inversion formulas and those listed in A145271). - Tom Copeland, Jan 27 2020
From Tom Copeland, Mar 24 2020: (Start)
There is a mapping between the faces of K_n, the associahedron of dimension (n-1), and polygon dissections. The dissecting noncrossing diagonals (i.e., nonintersecting in the interior) form subpolygons. Assign the indeterminate x_k to a subpolygon where k = (number of vertices of the subpolygon) - 1. Multiply the x_k together to form the monomials for the inversion formula.
For the 3-dimensional associahedron K_4, the fundamental polygon is the hexagon, which can be dissected into pentagons, associated to x_4; tetragons, to x_3; and triangles, to x_2; for example, there are six distinguished partitions of the hexagon into one triangle and one pentagon, sharing two vertices, associated to the monomial 6 * x_2 * x_4 since the unshared vertex of the triangle can be moved consecutively from one vertex of the hexagon to the next. This term corresponds to 720 (1')^2 (2') (4') / 5! in P(5,t) above, denumerating the six pentagonal facets of K_4. (End)

Let PS(n,u1,u2,...,un) = P(n,t) / t^n, i.e., the square-bracketed part of the partition polynomials in the expansion for the inverse in the comment section, with u_k = uk.
Also let PS(n,u1=1,u2,...,un) = PB(n,b1,b2,...,bK,...) where each bK represents the partitions of PS, with u1 = 1, that have K components or blocks, e.g., PS(5,1,u2,...,u5) = PB(5,b1,b2,b3,b4) = b1 + b2 + b3 + b4 with b1 = -u5, b2 = 6 u2 u4 + 3 u3^2, b3 = -21 u2^2 u3, and b4 = 14 u2^4.
The relation between solutions of the inviscid Burgers' equation and compositional inverse pairs (cf. A086810) implies that, for n > 2, PB(n, 0 * b1, 1 * b2, ..., (K-1) * bK, ...) = [(n+1)/2] * Sum_{k = 2..n-1} PS(n-k+1,u_1=1,u_2,...,u_(n-k+1)) * PS(k,u_1=1,u_2,...,u_k).
For example, PB(5,0 * b1, 1 * b2, 2 * b3, 3 * b4) = 3 * 14 u2^4 - 2 * 21 u2^2 u3 + 1 * 6 u2 u4 + 1 * 3 u3^2 - 0 * u5 = 42 u2^4 - 42 u2^2 u3 + 6 u2 u4 + 3 u3^2 = 3 * [2 * PS(2,1,u2) * PS(4,1,u2,...,u4) + PS(3,1,u2,u3)^2] = 3 * [ 2 * (-u2) (-5 u2^3 + 5 u2 u3 - u4) + (2 u2^2 - u3)^2].
Also, PB(n,0*b1,1*b2,...,(K-1)*bK,...) = d/dt t^(n-2)*PS(n,u1=1/t,u2,...,un)|{t=1} = d/dt (1/t)*PS(n,u1=1,t*u2,...,t*un)|{t=1}.

From Tom Copeland, Jul 10 2018: (Start)
Coefficients occurring in prolongation for the special Euclidean group SE(2) and special affine group SA(2) in the Olver presentation on moving frames (MFP) in slides 33 and 42. These are a result of applying an iterated derivative of the form h(x)d/dx = d/dy as in this entry (more generally as g(x) d/dx as discussed in A145271). See also p. 6 of Olver's paper on contact forms, but note that the 12 should be a 15 in the formula for the compositional inverse of S(t).
Change variables in the MFP to obtain connections to the partition polynomials Prt_n = n! * P(n,1) above. Let delta and beta in the formulas for the equi-affine curves in MFP be L and B, respectively, and D_y = (1/(L-B*u_x)) d/dx = (1/w_x) d/dx. Then v_(yy) = (1/B) [-w_(xx)/(w_x)^3] in MFP (there is an overall sign error in MFP for v_(yy) and higher derivatives w.r.t. y), and (d/dy)^n v = v_n = (1/B)* [(1/w_1)*(d/dx)]^(n-2) [-w_2/(w_1)^3] for n > 1, with w_n = (d/dx)^n w. Consequently, in the partition polynomials Prt_n for n > 1 here substitute (n') = -B*u_n = w_n for n > 1 and (1') = L-B*u_1 = w_1, where u_n = (d/dx)^n u, and then divide by B. For example, v_4 = (1/B)*Prt_4 = (1/B)*4!*P(4,1) = (1/B) (L-B*u_n)^(-7) [-15*(-B*u_2)^3 + 10 (L-B*u_1)(-B*u_2)(-B*u_3) - (L-B*u_1)^2 (-B*u_4)], agreeing with v_4 in MFP except for the overall sign.
For the SE(2) transformation formulas in MFP, let w_x = cos(phi) + sin(phi)*u_x, and then the same transformations apply as above with cos(phi) and sin(phi) substituted for L and -B, respectively. (End)

defined by R PS(n,t)=PS(n+1,t) and L PS(n,t)= n*PS(n-1,t) are
R = t*h(d/dt) = t * 1/[u_1+(u_2)*d/dt+(u_3)*(d/dt)^2/2!+...], and

The bracketed partition polynomials of P(n,t) are also given by (d/dx)^(n-1) 1/[u_1 + u_2 * x/2! + u_3 * x^2/3! + ... + u_n * x^(n-1)/n!]^n evaluated at x=0. - Tom Copeland, Jul 07 2015
Equivalent matrix computation: Multiply the m-th diagonal (with m=1 the index of the main diagonal) of the lower triangular Pascal matrix by u_m = (d/dx)^m f(x) evaluated at x=0 to obtain the matrix UP with UP(n,k) = binomial(n,k) u_{n+1-k}.

Let PS(n,u1,u2,...,un) = P(n,t) / (t^n/n!), i.e., the square-bracketed part of the partition polynomials in the expansion for the inverse in the comment section, with u_k = uk.
Also let PS(n,u1=1,u2,...,un) = PB(n,b1,b2,...,bK,...) where each bK represents the partitions of PS, with u1 = 1, that have K components or blocks, e.g., PS(5,1,u2,...,u5) = PB(5,b1,b2,b3,b4) = b1 + b2 + b3 + b4 with b1 = -u5, b2 = 15 u2 u4 + 10 u3^2, b3 = -105 u2^2 u3, and b4 = 105 u2^4.
The relation between solutions of the inviscid Burgers' equation and compositional inverse pairs (cf. link and A086810) implies, for n > 2, PB(n, 0 * b1, 1 * b2,..., (K-1) * bK, ...) = (1/2) * Sum_{k = 2..n-1} binomial(n+1,k) * PS(n-k+1,u_1=1,u_2,...,u_(n-k+1)) * PS(k,u_1=1,u_2,...,u_k).
For example, PB(5,0 * b1, 1 * b2, 2 * b3, 3 * b4) = 3 * 105 u2^4 - 2 * 105 u2^2 u3 + 1 * 15 u2 u4 + 1 * 10 u3^2 - 0 * u5 = 315 u2^4 - 210 u2^2 u3 + 15 u2 u4 + 10 u3^2 = (1/2) [2 * 6!/(4!*2!) * PS(2,1,u2) * PS(4,1,u2,...,u4) + 6!/(3!*3!) * PS(3,1,u2,u3)^2] = (1/2) * [ 2 * 6!/(4!*2!) * (-u2) (-15 u2^3 + 10 u2 u3 - u4) + 6!/(3!*3!) * (3 u2^2 - u3)^2].
Also, PB(n,0*b1,1*b2,...,(K-1)*bK,...) = d/dt t^(n-2)*PS(n,u1=1/t,u2,...,un)|{t=1} = d/dt (1/t)*PS(n,u1=1,t*u2,...,t*un)|{t=1}.

"Standard order" here means as produced by Maple's "sort" command.
From Petros Hadjicostas, May 27 2020: (Start)
According to the Maple help files for the "sort" command, polynomials in multiple variables are "sorted in total degree with ties broken by lexicographic order (this is called graded lexicographic order)."
Thus for example, x_1^2*x_3 = x_1*x_1*x_3 > x_1*x_2*x_2 = x_1*x_2^2, while x_1^2*x_4 = x_1*x_1*x_4 > x_1*x_2*x_3. (End)

The raising operator R = x + d[log(f(D)]/dD = x + L_1(x[1]) + L_2[x[1], x[2]) D + L_3(x[1], x[2], x[3]) D^2/2! + ... with D = d/dx generates an Appell sequence of polynomials, given umbrally by P_n(x[1], ..., x[n]; x) = (x[.] + x)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) x[k] * x^(n-k) = R^n 1 with the e.g.f. f(t)*e^(x*t) = exp[t P.(x[1], ..., x[.]; x)]. P_0 = x[0] = 1.
The umbral compositional inverse Appell sequence is generated by R = x - d[log(f(D))]/dD with e.g.f. e^(x*t)/f(t) = exp[t IP.(x[1], ..., x[.]; x)], so umbrally IP_n(x[1], ..., x[n]; P.(x[1], ..., x[n]; x)) = x^n = P_n(x[1], ..., x[n]; IP.(x[1], ..., x[n]; x)).

The Appell formalism allows a matrix representation in the power basis x^n of the raising operator R that incorporates this array's partition polynomials L_n(x[1], ..., x[n]):
VP_(n+1) = VP_n * R = VP_n * XPS^(-1) * MX * XPS, where XPS is the matrix formed from multiplying the n-th diagonal of the Pascal matrix PS of A007318 by the indeterminate x[n], with x[0] = 1 for the main diagonal of ones, i.e., XPS[n,k] = PS[n,k] * x[n-k]; the matrix MX is A129185; the matrix XPS^(-1) is the inverse of XPS, which can be formed by multiplying the diagonals of the Pascal matrix by the partition polynomials IPT(n, x[1], ..., x[n]) of A133314, i.e., XPS^(-1)[n,k] = PS[n,k] * IPT(n-k, x[1], ...); and VP_n is the row vector in the power basis representing the Appell polynomial P_n(x) formed from the basic sequence of moments 1, x[1], x[2], ..., i.e., umbrally P_n(x) = (x[.] + x)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * x[k] * x^(n-k).
Then R = XPS^(-1) * MX * XPS is the Pascal matrix PS with an additional first superdiagonal of ones and the other lower diagonals multiplied by the partition polynomials of this array, i.e., R[n,k] = PS[n,k] * L_{n+1-k}(x[1], ..., x[n+1-k]) except for the first superdiagonal of ones.
Consistently, VP_n = (1, 0, 0, ...) * R^n = (1, 0, 0, ...) * XPS^(-1) * MX^n * XPS = (1, 0, 0, ...) * MX^n * XPS = the n-th row vector of XPS, which is the vector representation of P_n(x) = (x[.] + x)^n with x[0] = 1.
See the Copeland link for the umbral representation R = exp[g.*D] * x * exp[h.*D] that reflects the matrix representations.
The Stirling partition polynomials of the first kind St1_n(a[1], a[2], ..., a[n]) of A036039, the Stirling partition polynomials of the second kind St2_n(b[1], b[2], ..., b[n]) of A036040, and the refined Lah polynomials Lah_n[c[1], c[2], ..., c[n]) of A130561 are Appell sequences in the respective distinguished indeterminates a[1], b[1], and c[1]. Comparing the formulas for their raising operators with that in this entry, L_n(x[1], x[2], ..., x[n]) evaluates to
A) (n-1)! * a[n] for x[n] = St1_n(a[1], a[2], ..., a[n]);
B) b[n] for x[n] = St2_n(b[1], b[2], ..., b[n]);
C) n! * c[n] for x[n] = Lah_n(c[1], c[2], ..., c[n]).
Conversely, from the respective e.g.f.s (added Sep 12 2016)
D) x[n] = St1_n(L_1(x[1])/0!, ..., L_n(x[1], ..., x[n])/(n-1)!);
E) x[n] = St2_n(L_1(x[1]), ..., L_n(x[1], ..., x[n]));
F) x[n] = Lah_n(L_1(x[1])/1!, ..., L_n(x[1], ..., x[n])/n!).
Given only the Appell sequence with no closed form for the e.g.f., the raising operator can be generated using this formalism, as has been partially done for A134264. (End)
For the Appell sequences above, the raising operator is related to the recursion P_(n+1)(x) = x * P_n(x) + Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * L_(n-k+1)(x[1], ..., x[n+k-1]) * P_k(x). For a derivation and connections to formal cumulants (c_n = L_n(x[1], ...)) and moments (m_n = x[n]), see the Copeland link on noncrossing partitions. With x = 0, the recursion reduces to x[n+1] = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k) * L_(n-k+1)(x[1], ..., x[n+k-1]) * x[k] with x[0] = 1. This array is a differently ordered version of A127671. - Tom Copeland, Sep 13 2016

The e.g.f. of an Appell sequence is f(t) e^(x*t) with f(0) = 1. Given the Laguerre-Polya class function f(t) = e^(-a*t^2 + b*t) Product_m (1 - t/z_m) e^(t/z_m) with a = 0 for simplicity (more generally a >= 0) and b real and where the product runs over all the zeros z_m of f(t) with all zeros real and Sum_m 1/(z_m)^2 convergent, the raising operator of the Appell polynomials is R = x + b - Sum_{k > 0} c_(k+1) D^k with c_k = Sum_m (1/(z_m)^k), i.e., traces of powers of the reciprocals of the zeros. From R in earlier comments, b = L_1(x_1) and otherwise c_k = -L_k(x_1, ..., x_k).
The Laguerre / Turan / de Gua inequalities (Csordas and Williamson and Skovgaard) imply that all the zeros of each Appell polynomial are real and simple and its extrema are local maxima above the x-axis and local minima below and are located above or below the zeros of the next lower degree Appell polynomial.

With a_n = n! * b_n = (n-1)! * c_n for n > 0, represent a function with f(0) = a_0 = b_0 = 1 as an
A) exponential generating function (e.g.f), or formal Taylor series: f(x) = e^{a.x} = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} a_n * x^n/n!
B) ordinary generating function (o.g.f.), or formal power series: f(x) = 1/(1-b.x) = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} b_n * x^n
C) logarithmic generating function (l.g.f): f(x) = 1 - log(1 - c.x) = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} c_n * x^n /n.
Expansions of log(f(x)) are given in
I) A127671 and A263634 for the e.g.f: log[ e^{a.*x} ] = e^{L.(a_1,a_2,...)x} = Sum_{n > 0} L_n(a_1,...,a_n) * x^n/n!, the logarithmic polynomials, cumulant expansion polynomials
II) A263916 for the o.g.f.: log[ 1/(1-b.x) ] = log[ 1 - F.(b_1,b_2,...)x ] = -Sum_{n > 0} F_n(b_1,...,b_n) * x^n/n, the Faber polynomials.
Expansions of exp(f(x)-1) are given in
III) A036040 for an e.g.f: exp[ e^{a.x} - 1 ] = e^{BELL.(a_1,...)x}, the Bell/Touchard/exponential partition polynomials, a.k.a. the Stirling partition polynomials of the second kind
IV) A130561 for an o.g.f.: exp[ b.x/(1-b.x) ] = e^{LAH.(b.,...)x}, the Lah partition polynomials
V) A036039 for an l.g.f.: exp[ -log(1-c.x) ] = e^{CIP.(c_1,...)x}, the cycle index polynomials of the symmetric groups S_n, a.k.a. the Stirling partition polynomials of the first kind.
Since exp and log are a compositional inverse pair, one can extract the indeterminates of the log set of partition polynomials from the exp set and vice versa. For a discussion of the relations among these polynomials and the combinatorics of connected and disconnected graphs/maps, see Novak and LaCroix on classical moments and cumulants and the two books on statistical mechanics referenced in A036040.

This entry and the references differ slightly among themselves in the order of coefficients for higher order terms. Table on p. 167 of Comtet has at least one index error.
Let F[FI(x)] = FI[F(x)] = x (i.e., F and FI are a compositional inverse pair) about x=0 with F(0)=FI(0)=0. Define f(x) = 1/[dFI(x)/dx], then for w(x) analytic about the origin, exp[t f(x)d/dx] w(x) = w{F[t+FI(x)]} = q(t,x) with q{t,F[s+FI(x)]} = q(t+s,x). See A145271 for w(x)=x and note that A145271 is embedded in A139605. E.g.f. of the binomial Sheffer sequence associated to F(x) is exp[x f(z)d/dz] exp(t*z)= exp{t*F[x+FI(z)]} evaluated at z=0. - Tom Copeland, Oct 19 2011
dq(t,x)/dt - f(x)dq(t,x)/dx = 0, so (1,-f(x)) gives the components of a vector orthogonal to the gradient of q and therefore tangent to the contour of q at (t,x). - Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2011
The formula exp[t f(x)d/dx] w(x)= w{F[t+FI(x)]} above is implicit in the chain rule formulas on pages 10 and 12 of Mathemagical Forests. Another derivation is alluded to in the Dattoli reference in A080635 (repeated below). - Tom Copeland, Nov 28 2011
Let f(x) and g(x) be two infinitely differential functions. Denote f_0 = f(x), f_1 = df_0/dx, f_2 = df_1/dx, and so on. Same with g_0 = g(x). Define the linear operator L(u(x)) = g(x) * du(x)/dx. Denote F_1 = L(f(x)), F_2 = L(F_1), and so on. When n>0, F_n is a linear combination of f_1, ..., f_n where each f_k is multiplied by a homogeneous polynomial (P(n,k)) of degree n in g_0, ..., g_{n-1}. The triangle of the sum of the coefficients of P(n,k) is A130534. - Michael Somos, Mar 23 2014
Triangle with row n length A000070(n+1) and row n consists of the coefficients: P(n,1), ..., P(n,n). The order of coefficients in P(n,k) is Abramowitz and Stegun order for partitions of n-k with parts g_1, ..., g_{n-k}. - Michael Somos, Mar 23 2014
A130534(n,k) gives the number of rooted trees with (k+1) trunks that are associated with D^(k+1) in the forest of "naturally grown" rooted trees with (n+2) nodes, or vertices, that are associated with R^(n+1) in the example below. Cf. MF link. - Tom Copeland, Mar 23 2014
These partition polynomials appeared in 1823 in a dissertation by Heinrich Scherk. See p. 76 of Blasiak and Flajolet. - Tom Copeland, Jul 14 2021
Schröder made use of iterated derivatives, or iterated infinitesimal generators (IGs), ((1/f') D)^n in his investigations of functional iteration, or iterated functional composition, related to extensions of Newton's method of finding zeros of an equation. He constructs the series, in terms of the IGs, for finv[t+f(z)] evaluated at t = -f(z), giving z_1 = finv(0) although he doesn't present his analysis this way. - Tom Copeland, Jul 19 2021

Formula

Equivalent matrix computation: Multiply the n-th diagonal (with n=0 the main diagonal) of the lower triangular Pascal matrix by f_n = (d/dx)^n f(x) to obtain the matrix VP with VP(n,k) = binomial(n,k) f_(n-k).

Per earlier comments, the action of the differentials of this entry on an exponential is exp(x g(u)D_u) e^(ut) = e^(t H^{(-1)}(H(u)+x)) with g(x) = 1/D(H(x)) and H^{(-1)}(x) the compositional inverse of H(x). With H^{(-1)}(x) = -log(1-x), the inverse about x=0 is H(x) = 1-e^(-x), giving g(x) = e^x and the resulting action e^(-t log(1-x)) = (1-x)^(-t) for u=0, an e.g.f. for the unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind (see A008275, A048994, and A130534). Consequently, summing the coefficients of this entry over each associated derivative gives these Stirling numbers. E.g., the fifth row in the examples reduces to (1+4+1) D + (7+4) D^2 + 6 D^3 + D^4 = 6 D + 11 D^2 + 6 D^3 + D^4. The Connes-Moscovici weights A139002 are a refinement of this entry. - Tom Copeland, Jul 14 2021

Then P(n,t) = (1, 0, 0, 0,..) [UP^(-1) * S]^(n-1) FC * t^n/n!, where S is the shift matrix A129185, representing differentiation in the basis x^n//n!, and FC is the first column of UP^(-1), the inverse matrix of UP. These results follow from A145271 and A133314.
With u_1 = 1, the first column of UP^(-1) with u_1 = 1 (with initial indices [0,0]) is composed of the row polynomials n! * OP_n(-u_2,...,-u_(n+1)), where OP_n(x[1],...,x[n]) are the row polynomials of A263633 for n > 0 and OP_0 = 1, which are related to those of A133314 as reciprocal o.g.f.s are related to reciprocal e.g.f.s; e.g., UP^(-1)[0,0] = 1, Up^(-1)[1,0] = -u_2, UP^(-1)[2,0] = 2! * (-u_3 + u_2^2) = 2! * OP_2(-u_2,-u_3).
Also, P(n,t) = (1, 0, 0, 0,..) [UP^(-1) * S]^n (0, 1, 0, ..)^T * t^n/n! in agreement with A139605. (End)

Let PS(n,u1,u2,...,un) = P(n,t) / (t^n/n!), i.e., the square-bracketed part of the partition polynomials in the expansion for the inverse in the comment section, with u_k = uk.
Also let PS(n,u1=1,u2,...,un) = PB(n,b1,b2,...,bK,...) where each bK represents the partitions of PS, with u1 = 1, that have K components or blocks, e.g., PS(5,1,u2,...,u5) = PB(5,b1,b2,b3,b4) = b1 + b2 + b3 + b4 with b1 = -24 u5, b2 = 90 u2 u4 + 40 u3^2, b3 = -210 u2^2 u3, and b4 = 105 u2^4.
The relation between solutions of the inviscid Burgers's equation and compositional inverse pairs (cf. link and A086810) implies, for n > 2, PB(n, 0 * b1, 1 * b2, ..., (K-1) * bK, ...) = (1/2) * Sum_{k = 2..n-1} binomial(n+1,k) * PS(n-k+1, u_1=1, u_2, ..., u_(n-k+1)) * PS(k,u_1=1,u_2,...,u_k).
For example, PB(5,0 * b1, 1 * b2, 2 * b3, 3 * b4) = 3 * 105 u2^4 - 2 * 210 u2^2 u3 + 1 * 90 u2 u4 + 1 * 40 u3^2 - 0 * -24 u5 = 315 u2^4 - 420 u2^2 u3 + 90 u2 u4 + 40 u3^2 = (1/2) [2 * 6!/(4!*2!) * PS(2,1,u2) * PS(4,1,u2,...,u4) + 6!/(3!*3!) * PS(3,1,u2,u3)^2] = (1/2) * [ 2 * 6!/(4!*2!) * (-u2) (-15 u2^3 + 20 u2 u3 - 6 u4) + 6!/(3!*3!) * (3 u2^2 - 2 u3)^2].
Also, PB(n,0*b1,1*b2,...,(K-1)*bK,...) = d/dt t^(n-2)*PS(n,u1=1/t,u2,...,un)|{t=1} = d/dt (1/t)*PS(n,u1=1,t*u2,...,t*un)|{t=1}.

Let A129184 = matrix M, then M*V, (V a vector); shifts V to the right, preceded by zeros. Example: M*V, V = [1, 2, 3, ...] = [0, 1, 2, 3, ...]. A129185 = left shift operator.
Given a polynomial sequence p_n(x) with p_0(x)=1 and the lowering and raising operators L and R defined by L P_n(x)= n * P_(n-1)(x) and R P_n(x)= P_(n+1)(x), the matrix T represents the action of R in the p_n(x) basis. For p_n(x) = x^n, L = D = d/dx and R = x. For p_n(x)= x^n/n!, L= DxD and R=D^(-1). - Tom Copeland, Nov 10 2012

Formula

Infinite lower triangular matrix with all 1's in the subdiagonal and the rest zeros.
From Tom Copeland, Nov 10 2012: (Start)
Let M(t) = I/(I-t*T) = I + t*T + (t*T)^2 + ... where T is the shift operator matrix and I the Identity matrix. Then the inverse matrix is MI(t)=(I-tT) and M(t) is A000012 with each n-th diagonal multiplied by t^n. M(1)=A000012 with inverse MI(1)=A167374. Row sums of M(2), M(3), and M(4) are A000225, A003462, and A002450.
Let E(t)=exp(t*T) with inverse E(-t). Then E(t) is A000012 with each n-th diagonal multiplied by t^n/n! and each row represents e^t truncated at the n+1 term.
The matrix operation b = T*a can be characterized in several ways in terms of the coefficients a(n) and b(n), their o.g.f.s A(x) and B(x), or e.g.f.s EA(x) and EB(x):
1) b(0) = 0, b(n) = a(n-1),
2) B(x) = x A(x), or
3) EB(x) = D^(-1) EA(x), where D^(-1)x^j/j! = x^(j+1)/(j+1)!.
The operator M(t) can be characterized as
4)M(t)EA(x)= sum(n>=0)a(n)[e^(x*t)-[1+x*t+...+ (x*t)^(n-1)/(n-1)!]]/t^n
= exp(a*D_y)[t*e^(x*t)-y*e(x*y)]/(t-y)
= [t*e^(x*t)-a*e(x*a)]/(t-a), umbrally where (a)^k=a_k,
5)[M(t) * a]_n = a(0)t^n +a(1)t^(n-1)+a(2)t^(n-2)+...+a(n).
The exponentiated operator can be characterized as
6) E(t) A(x) = exp(t*x) A(x),
7) E(t) EA(x) = exp(t*D^(-1)) EA(x)
8) [E(t) * a]_n = a(0)t^n/n! + a(1)t^(n-1)/(n-1)! + ... + a(n).
(End)
