The beginning of this sequence does not quite agree with the usual version, which is A173018. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 21 2010
Each row of A123125 is the reverse of the corresponding row in A173018. - Michael Somos, Mar 17 2011
A008292 (subtriangle for k>=1 and n>=1) is the main entry for these numbers.
Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows given by [0,1,0,2,0,3,0,4,0,5,0,...] DELTA [1,0,2,0,3,0,4,0,5,0,6,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938.
Row sums are the factorials. - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson, Aug 14 2008
If the initial zero column is deleted, the result is A008292. - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson, Aug 14 2008
This result gives an alternative method of calculating the Eulerian numbers by an Umbral Calculus expansion from Comtet. - Roger L. Bagula, Nov 21 2009
This function seems to be equivalent to the PolyLog expansion. - Roger L. Bagula, Nov 21 2009
A raising operator formed from the e.g.f. of this entry is the generator of a sequence of polynomials p(n,x;t) defined in A046802 that specialize to those for A119879 as p(n,x;-1), A007318 as p(n,x;0), A073107 as p(n,x;1), and A046802 as p(n,0;t). See Copeland link for more associations. - Tom Copeland, Oct 20 2015
The Eulerian numbers in this setup count the permutation trees of power n and width k (see the Luschny link). For the associated combinatorial statistic over permutations see the Sage program below and the example section. - Peter Luschny, Dec 09 2015 [See Elder et al. link. Peter Luschny, Jul 13 2022]
From Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 03 2017: (Start)
The row polynomials R(n, x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*x^k are the numerator polynomials of the o.g.f. G(n, x) of n-powers {m^n}_{m>=0} (with 0^0 = 1): G(n, x) = R(n, x)/(1-x)^(n+1). See the Aug 14 2008 formula, where f(x,n) = R(n, x). The e.g.f. of R(n, t) is given in Copeland's Oct 14 2015 formula below.
The first nine column sequences are A000007, A000012, A000295, A000460, A000498, A000505, A000514, A001243, A001244. (End)
With all offsets 0, let A_n(x;y) = (y + E.(x))^n, an Appell sequence in y where E.(x)^k = E_k(x) are the Eulerian polynomials of this entry, A123125. Then the row polynomials of A046802 (the h-polynomials of the stellahedra) are given by h_n(x) = A_n(x;1); the row polynomials of A248727 (the face polynomials of the stellahedra), by f_n(x) = A_n(1 + x;1); the Swiss-knife polynomials of A119879, by Sw_n(x) = A_n(-1;1 + x); and the row polynomials of the Worpitsky triangle (A130850), by w_n(x) = A(1 + x;0). Other specializations of A_n(x;y) give A090582 (the f-polynomials of the permutohedra, cf. also A019538) and A028246 (another version of the Worpitsky triangle). - Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2020
Let b(n) = (1/(n+1))*Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^(n-k+1)*T(n, k+1) / binomial(n, k+1). Then b(n) = Bernoulli(n, 1) = -n*Zeta(1 - n) = Integral_{x=0..1} F_n(x) for n >= 1. Here F_n(x) are the signed Fubini polynomials (A278075). (See also Rzadkowski and Urlinska, example 1.) - Peter Luschny, Feb 15 2021
Patrick J. Burchell (see link) describes the following method: To get the k-th row of the triangle write the nonnegative integers with a fixed exponent k as a sequence, 0^k, 1^k, 2^k, ..., and then apply the first differences to them k + 1 times. - Peter Luschny, Apr 02 2023

Recurrence: T(5, 3) = (6-3)*T(4, 2) + 3*T(4, 3) = 3*11 + 3*11 = 66.
O.g.f. column k=2: (x/(1 - 2*x))*E_x*(x/(1-x)) = (x/(1-x))^2/(1-2*x).
E.g.f. column k=2: A(2, x) = x*A(1, x) + x*E(1, x) = x*1 + x*(exp(x)-1) = x*exp(x), hence E(2, x) = (1 + int(x*exp(-x),x ))*exp(2*x) = exp(x)*(exp(x) - (1+x)). See A000295. (End)

T(n, k) = A173018(n, n-k), 0 <= k <= n. Row reversed Euler's triangle. See Graham et al., p. 268.
Recurrence (from A173018): T(n, 0) = 1 if n=0 else 0; T(n, k) = 0 if n < k and T(n, k) = (n+1-k)*T(n-1, k-1) + k*T(n-1, k) else.
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(n-j, k-j)*S2(n, j)*j!, 0 <= k <= n, else 0. For S2(n, k)*k! see A131689.
The recurrence for the o.g.f. of the sequence of column k is
G(k, x) = (x/(1 - k*x))*(E_x - (k-2))*G(k-1, x), with the Euler operator E_x = x*d_x, for k >= 1, with G(0, x) = 1. (Proof from the recurrence of T(n, k)).
The e.g.f of the sequence of column k is found from E(k, x) = (1 + int(A(k, x),x)*exp(-k*x))*exp(k*x), k >= 1, with the recurrence
A(k, x) = x*A(k-1, x) +(1 + (1-k)*(1-x))*E(k-1, x) for k >= 1, with A(0,x)= 0. (Proof from the recurrence of T(n, k)). (End)

Let M = n X n matrix with (i,j)-th entry a(n+1-j, n+1-i), e.g., if n = 3, M = [1 1 1; 3 1 0; 2 0 0]. Given a sequence s = [s(0)..s(n-1)], let b = [b(0)..b(n-1)] be its inverse binomial transform and let c = [c(0)..c(n-1)] = M^(-1)*transpose(b). Then s(k) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} b(i)*binomial(k,i) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} c(i)*k^i, k=0..n-1. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 11 2001
From Gary W. Adamson, Aug 09 2008: (Start)
Julius Worpitzky's 1883 algorithm generates Bernoulli numbers.
By way of example [Wikipedia]:
B0 = 1;
B1 = 1/1 - 1/2;
B2 = 1/1 - 3/2 + 2/3;
B3 = 1/1 - 7/2 + 12/3 - 6/4;
B4 = 1/1 - 15/2 + 50/3 - 60/4 + 24/5;
B5 = 1/1 - 31/2 + 180/3 - 390/4 + 360/5 - 120/6;
B6 = 1/1 - 63/2 + 602/3 - 2100/4 + 3360/5 - 2520/6 + 720/7;
...
Note that in this algorithm, odd n's for the Bernoulli numbers sum to 0, not 1, and the sum for B1 = 1/2 = (1/1 - 1/2). B3 = 0 = (1 - 7/2 + 13/3 - 6/4) = 0. The summation for B4 = -1/30. (End)
Pursuant to Worpitzky's algorithm and given M = A028246 as an infinite lower triangular matrix, M * [1/1, -1/2, 1/3, ...] (i.e., the Harmonic series with alternate signs) = the Bernoulli numbers starting [1/1, 1/2, 1/6, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Mar 22 2012
From Tom Copeland, Oct 23 2008: (Start)
G(x,t) = 1/(1 + (1-exp(x*t))/t) = 1 + 1 x + (2 + t)*x^2/2! + (6 + 6t + t^2)*x^3/3! + ... gives row polynomials for A090582, the f-polynomials for the permutohedra (see A019538).
G(x,t-1) = 1 + 1*x + (1 + t)*x^2 / 2! + (1 + 4t + t^2)*x^3 / 3! + ... gives row polynomials for A008292, the h-polynomials for permutohedra.
G[(t+1)x,-1/(t+1)] = 1 + (1+ t) x + (1 + 3t + 2 t^2) x^2 / 2! + ... gives row polynomials for the present triangle. (End)
The Worpitzky triangle seems to be an apt name for this triangle. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 18 2009
If Pascal's triangle is written as a lower triangular matrix and multiplied by A028246 written as an upper triangular matrix, the product is a matrix where the (i,j)-th term is (i+1)^j. For example,
1,0,0,0 1,1,1, 1 1,1, 1, 1
1,1,0,0 * 0,1,3, 7 = 1,2, 4, 8
1,2,1,0 0,0,2,12 1,3, 9,27
1,3,3,1 0,0,0, 6 1,4,16,64
So, numbering all three matrices' rows and columns starting at 0, the (i,j) term of the product is (i+1)^j. - Jack A. Cohen (ProfCohen(AT)comcast.net), Aug 03 2010
The Fi1 and Fi2 triangle sums are both given by sequence A000670. For the definition of these triangle sums see A180662. The mirror image of the Worpitzky triangle is A130850. - Johannes W. Meijer, Apr 20 2011
Let S_n(m) = 1^m + 2^m + ... + n^m. Then, for n >= 0, we have the following representation of S_n(m) as a linear combination of the binomial coefficients:
S_n(m) = Sum_{i=1..n+1} a(i+n*(n+1)/2)*C(m,i). E.g., S_2(m) = a(4)*C(m,1) + a(5)*C(m,2) + a(6)*C(m,3) = C(m,1) + 3*C(m,2) + 2*C(m,3). - Vladimir Shevelev, Dec 21 2011
Given the set X = [1..n] and 1 <= k <= n, then a(n,k) is the number of sets T of size k of subset S of X such that S is either empty or else contains 1 and another element of X and such that any two elemements of T are either comparable or disjoint. - Michael Somos, Apr 20 2013
Working with the row and column indexing starting at -1, a(n,k) gives the number of k-dimensional faces in the first barycentric subdivision of the standard n-dimensional simplex (apply Brenti and Welker, Lemma 2.1). For example, the barycentric subdivision of the 2-simplex (a triangle) has 1 empty face, 7 vertices, 12 edges and 6 triangular faces giving row 4 of this triangle as (1,7,12,6). Cf. A053440. - Peter Bala, Jul 14 2014
See A074909 and above g.f.s for associations among this array and the Bernoulli polynomials and their umbral compositional inverses. - Tom Copeland, Nov 14 2014
An e.g.f.

See A019538 and the G. Rzadkowski link below for connections to the Bernoulli and Eulerian numbers, a Ricatti differential equation, and a soliton solution to the KdV equation. The inverse in x of this e.g.f. is Ginv(x,t) = (-1/t^2)*log{[1-t(1+x)]/[(1-t)(1-tx)]} = [1/(1-t)]x + [(2t-t^2)/(1-t)^2]x^2/2 + [(3t^2-3t^3+t^4)/(1-t)^3]x^3/3 + [(4t^3-6t^4+4t^5-t^6)/(1-t)^4]x^4/4 + ... . The numerators are signed, shifted A135278 (reversed A074909), and the rational functions are the columns of A074909. Also, dG(x,t)/dx = g(G(x,t),t) (cf. A145271).

The operator R = x + (1 + t) + t e^{-D} / [1 + t(1-e^(-D))] = x + (1+t) + t - (t+t^2) D + (t+3t^2+2t^3) D^2/2! - ... contains an e.g.f. of the reverse row polynomials of the present triangle, i.e., A123125 * A007318 (with row and column offset 1 and 1). Umbrally, R^n 1 = q_n(x;t) = (q.(0;t)+x)^n, with q_m(0;t) = (t+1)^(m+1) - t^(m+1), the row polynomials of A074909, and D = d/dx. In other words, R generates the Appell polynomials associated with the base sequence A074909. For example, R 1 = q_1(x;t) = (q.(0;t)+x) = q_1(0;t) + q__0(0;t)x = (1+2t) + x, and R^2 1 = q_2(x;t) = (q.(0;t)+x)^2 = q_2(0:t) + 2q_1(0;t)x + q_0(0;t)x^2 = 1+3t+3t^2 + 2(1+2t)x + x^2. Evaluating the polynomials at x=0 regenerates the base sequence. With a simple sign change in R, R generates the Appell polynomials associated with A248727. - Tom Copeland, Jan 23 2015

From Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 13 2017: (Start)
The e.g.f. E(n, x) for {S(n, m)}{m>=0} with S(n, m) = Sum{k=1..m} k^n, n >= 0, (with undefined sum put to 0) is exp(x)*R(n+1, x) with the exponential row polynomials R(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} a(n, k)*x^k/k!. E.g., e.g.f. for n = 2, A000330: exp(x)*(1*x/1!+3*x^2/2!+2*x^3/3!).
The o.g.f. G(n, x) for {S(n, m)}{m >=0} is then found by Laplace transform to be G(n, 1/p) = p*Sum{k=1..n} a(n+1, k)/(p-1)^(2+k).
Hence G(n, x) = x/(1 - x)^(n+2)*Sum_{k=1..n} A008292(n,k)*x^(k-1).
E.g., n=2: G(2, 1/p) = p*(1/(p-1)^2 + 3/(p-1)^3 + 2/(p-1)^4) = p^2*(1+p)/(p-1)^4; hence G(2, x) = x*(1+x)/(1-x)^4.
This works also backwards: from the o.g.f. to the e.g.f. of {S(n, m)}_{m>=0}. (End)

Delta-matrix as can be read from H. Hasse's proof of a connection between the zeta-function and Bernoulli numbers (see link below).
Let P = lower triangular matrix with entries P[row,col] = binomial(row,col).
Let J = unit matrix with alternating signs J[r,r]=(-1)^r.
Let N(m) = column matrix with N(m)(r) = (r+1)^m, N(1)--> natural numbers.
Let V = Vandermonde matrix with V[r,c] = (r+1)^c.
V is then also N(0)||N(1)||N(2)||N(3)... (indices r,c always beginning at 0).
Then Delta = P*J * V and B' = N(-1)' * Delta, where B is the column matrix of Bernoulli numbers and ' means transpose, or for the single k-th Bernoulli number B_k with the appropriate column of Delta,
B_k = N(-1)' * Delta[ *,k ] = N(-1)' * P*J * N(k).
Using a single column instead of V and assuming infinite dimension, H. Hasse showed that in x = N(-1) * P*J * N(s), where s can be any complex number and s*zeta(1-s) = x.
His theorem reads: s*zeta(1-s) = Sum_{n>=0..inf} (n+1)^-1*delta(n,s), where delta(n,s) = Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^j * binomial(n,j) * (j+1)^s.

T(n,k) is the number of positroid cells of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian G+(k,n) (cf. Postnikov/Williams). It is the triangle of the h-vectors of the stellahedra. - Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2014
See A248727 for a simple transformation of the row polynomials of this entry that produces the umbral compositional inverses of the polynomials of A074909, related to the face polynomials of the simplices. - Tom Copeland, Jan 21 2015
From Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2015: (Start)
The reciprocal of this entry's e.g.f. is [t e^(-xt) - e^(-x)] / (t-1) = 1 - (1+t) x + (1+t+t^2) x^2/2! - (1+t+t^2+t^3) x^3/3! + ... = e^(q.(0;t)x), giving the base sequence (q.(0;t))^n = q_n(0;t) = (-1)^n [1-t^(n+1)] / (1-t) for the umbral compositional inverses (q.(0;t)+z)^n = q_n(z;t) of the Appell polynomials associated with this entry, p_n(z;t) below, i.e., q_n(p.(z;t)) = z^n = p_n(q.(z;t)), in umbral notation. The relations in A133314 then apply between the two sets of base polynomials. (Inserted missing index in a formula - Mar 03 2016.)
The associated o.g.f. for the umbral inverses is Og(x) = x / (1-x q.(0:t)) = x / [(1+x)(1+tx)] = x / [1+(1+t)x+tx^2]. Applying A134264 to h(x) = x / Og(x) = 1 + (1+t) x + t x^2 leads to an o.g.f. for the Narayana polynomials A001263 as the comp. inverse Oginv(x) = [1-(1+t)x-sqrt[1-2(1+t)x+((t-1)x)^2]] / (2xt). Note that Og(x) gives the signed h-polynomials of the simplices and that Oginv(x) gives the h-polynomials of the simplicial duals of the Stasheff polynomials, or type A associahedra. Contrast this with A248727 = A046802 * A007318, which has o.g.f.s related to the corresponding f-polynomials. (End)
The Appell polynomials p_n(x;t) in the formulas below specialize to the Swiss-knife polynomials of A119879 for t = -1, so the Springer numbers A001586 are given by 2^n p_n(1/2;-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2015
The row polynomials are the h-polynomials associated to the stellahedra, whose f-polynomials are the row polynomials of A248727. Cf. page 60 of the Buchstaber and Panov link. - Tom Copeland, Nov 08 2016

With offset 0, T = A007318 * A123125. Second column is A000225; 3rd, appears to be A066810. - Tom Copeland, Jan 23 2015
A raising operator (with D = d/dx) associated with this entry's row polynomials is R = x + t + (1-t) / [1-t e^{(1-t)D}] = x + t + 1 + t D + (t+t^2) D^2/2! + (t+4t^2+t^3) D^3/3! + ... , containing the e.g.f. for the Eulerian polynomials of A123125. Then R^n 1 = (p.(0;t)+x)^n = p_n(x;t) are the Appell polynomials with this entry's row polynomials p_n(0;t) as the base sequence. Examples of this formalism are given in A028246 and A248727. - Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2015
With offset 0, T = A007318*(padded A090582)*(inverse of A097805) = A007318*(padded A090582)*(padded A130595) = A007318*A123125 = A007318*(padded A090582)*A007318*A097808*A130595, where padded matrices are of the form of padded A007318, which is A097805. Inverses of padded matrices are just the padded versions of inverses of the unpadded matrices. This relates the face vectors, or f-vectors, and h-vectors of the permutahedra / permutohedra to those of the stellahedra / stellohedra. - Tom Copeland, Nov 13 2016
Umbrally, the row polynomials (offset 0) are r_n(x) = (1 + q.(x))^n, where (q.(x))^k = q_k(x) are the row polynomials of A123125. - Tom Copeland, Nov 16 2016
From the previous umbral statement, OP(x,d/dy) y^n = (y + q.(x))^n, where OP(x,y) = exp[y * q.(x)] = (1-x)/(1-x*exp((1-x)y)), the e.g.f. of A123125, so OP(x,d/dy) y^n evaluated at y = 1 is r_n(x), the n-th row polynomial of this entry, with offset 0. - Tom Copeland, Jun 25 2018
Consolidating some formulas in this entry and A248727, in umbral notation for concision, with all offsets 0: Let A_n(x;y) = (y + E.(x))^n, an Appell sequence in y where E.(x)^k = E_k(x) are the Eulerian polynomials of A123125. Then the row polynomials of this entry (A046802, the h-polynomials of the stellahedra) are given by h_n(x) = A_n(x;1); the row polynomials of A248727 (the face polynomials of the stellahedra), by f_n(x) = A_n(1 + x;1); the Swiss-knife polynomials of A119879, by Sw_n(x) = A_n(-1;1 + x); and the row polynomials of the Worpitsky triangle (A130850), by w_n(x) = A(1 + x;0). Other specializations of A_n(x;y) give A090582 (the f-polynomials of the permutohedra, cf. also A019538) and A028246 (another version of the Worpitsky triangle). - Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2020

Let Q(m, n) = Sum_(k=0..n-1) (-1)^k * binomial(n, k) * (n-k)^m. Then Q(m,n) is the numerator of the probability P(m,n) = Q(m,n)/n^m of seeing each card at least once if m >= n cards are drawn with replacement from a deck of n cards, written in a two-dimensional array read by antidiagonals with Q(m,m) as first row and Q(m,1) as first column.
The sequence is given as a matrix with the first row containing the cases #draws = size_of_deck. The second row contains #draws = 1 + size_of_deck. If "mn" indicates m cards drawn from a deck with n cards then the locations in the matrix are:
11 22 33 44 55 66 77 ...
21 32 43 54 65 76 87 ...
31 42 53 64 75 86 97 ...
41 52 63 74 85 .. .. ...
read by antidiagonals ->:
11, 22, 21, 33, 32, 31, 44, 43, 42, 41, 55, 54, 53, 52, ....
The probabilities are given by Q(m,n)/n^m:
.(m,n):.....11..22..21..33..32..31..44..43..42..41...55...54..53..52..51

%.Success:.100..50.100..22..75.100...9..44..88.100....4...23..62..94.100
P(n,n) = n!/n^n which can be approximated by sqrt(Pi*(2n+1/3))/e^n (Gosper's approximation to n!).
Let P[n] be the set of all n-permutations. Build a superset Q[n] of P[n] composed of n-permutations in which some (possibly all or none) ascents have been designated. An ascent in a permutation s[1]s[2]...s[n] is a pair of consecutive elements s[i],s[i+1] such that s[i] < s[i+1]. As a triangular array read by rows T(n,k) is the number of elements in Q[n] that have exactly k distinguished ascents, n >= 1, 0 <= k <= n-1. Row sums are A000670. E.g.f. is y/(1+y-exp(y*x)). For example, T(3,1)=6 because there are four 3-permutations with one ascent, with these we would also count 1->2 3, and 1 2->3 where exactly one ascent is designated by "->".

Sum_(k=1..n) Q(n, k)*binomial(x, k) = x^n such that Sum_{k=1..n} Q(n, i)*binomial(x+1,i+1) = Sum_{k=1..x} k^n. - David A. Corneth, Feb 17 2014

See A008279 for a relation between the e.g.f.s enumerating the faces of permutahedra (this entry) and stellahedra. - Tom Copeland, Nov 14 2016
From the Hasan and Franco and Hasan papers: The m-permutohedra for m=1,2,3,4 are the line segment, hexagon, truncated octahedron and omnitruncated 5-cell. The first three are well-known from the study of elliptic models, brane tilings and brane brick models. The m+1 torus can be tiled by a single (m+2)-permutohedron. Relations to toric Calabi-Yau Kahler manifolds are also discussed. - Tom Copeland, May 14 2020

Examples

			For m = 4, n = 2, we draw 4 times from a deck of two cards. Call the cards "a" and "b" - of the 16 possible combinations of draws (each of which is equally likely to occur), only two do not contain both a and b: a, a, a, a and b, b, b, b. So the probability of seeing both a and b is 14/16. Therefore Q(m, n) = 14.

"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 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)). An unsigned array for the reduced IP_n(x[1], ..., x[n]; x) polynomials with IP_0 = x[0] = 1 and x[n] = -1 for n > 0 is A154921, for which f(t) = 2 - e^t. (End)
From Tom Copeland, Sep 08 2016: (Start)
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

From Tom Copeland, May 17 2020: (Start)
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. (End)

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

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

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.

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 in A036040.

This is a transform of A046802 treating it as an array of h-vectors, so y is replaced by (y+1) in the e.g.f. for A046802.
An e.g.f. for the reversed row polynomials with signs is given by exp(a.(0;t)x) = [e^{(1+t)x} [1+t(1-e^(-x))]]^(-1) = 1 - (1+2t)x + (1+5t+5t^2)x^2/2! + ... . The reciprocal is an e.g.f. for the reversed face polynomials of the simplices A074909, i.e., exp(b.(0;t)x) = e^{(1+t)x} [1+t(1-e^(-x))] = 1 + (1+2t)x +(1+3t+3t^2) x^2/2! + ... , so the relations of A133314 apply between the two sets of polynomials. In particular, umbrally [a.(0;t)+b.(0;t)]^n vanishes except for n=0 for which it's unity, implying the two sets of Appell polynomials formed from the two bases, a_n(z;t) = (a.(0;t)+z)^n and b_n(z;t) = (b.(0;t) + z)^n, are an umbral compositional inverse pair, i.e., b_n(a.(x;t);t)= x^n = a_n(b.(x;t);t). Raising operators for these Appell polynomials are related to the polynomials of A028246, whose reverse polynomials are given by A123125 * A007318. Compare: A248727 = A007318 * A123125 * A007318 and A046802 = A007318 * A123125. See A074909 for definitions and related links. - Tom Copeland, Jan 21 2015
The o.g.f. for the umbral inverses is Og(x) = x / (1 - x b.(0;t)) = x / [(1-tx)(1-(1+t)x)] = x + (1+2t) x^2 + (1+3t+3t^2) x^3 + ... . Its compositional inverse is an o.g.f for signed A033282, the reverse f-polynomials for the simplicial duals of the Stasheff polytopes, or associahedra of type A, Oginv(x) =[1+(1+2t)x-sqrt[1+2(1+2t)x+x^2]] / (2t(1+t)x) = x - (1+2t) x^2 + (1+5t+5t^2) x^3 + ... . Contrast this with the o.g.f.s related to the corresponding h-polynomials in A046802. - Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2015
