Comments

The row polynomials p(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k have the n integer zeros 2*A000217(j), j=0..n-1.

The row polynomials satisfy a three-term recurrence relation which qualify them as orthogonal polynomials w.r.t. some (as yet unknown) positive measure.

Column sequences (without leading zeros) give A000007, A010790(n-1)*(-1)^(n-1), A084915(n-1)*(-1)^(n-2), A130033 for m=0..3.

Apparently this is the triangle read by rows of Legendre-Stirling numbers of the first kind. See the Andrews-Gawronski-Littlejohn paper, table 2. The mirror version is the triangle A191936. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 10 2012

Formula

Row polynomials p(n,x) = Product_{m=1..n} (x - m*(m-1)), n>=1, with p(0,x) = 1.

Row polynomials p(n,x) = p(n, v=n, x) with the recurrence: p(n,v,x) = (x + 2*(n-1)^2 - 2*(v-1)*(n-1) - v + 1)*p(n-1,v,x) - (n-1)^2*(n-1-v)^2*p(n-2,v,x) with p(-1,v,x) = 0 and p(0,v,x) = 1.

T(n, k) = [x^k] p(n, n, x), n >= k >= 0, otherwise 0.

T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..2*(n-k)} ( binomial(2*k+j, j)*s(n,k)*n^j ) - Sum_{j=k+1..n} binomial(j, 2*(j-k))*T(n, j) (See Coffey and Lettington formula (4.7)). - G. C. Greubel, Feb 09 2024
