The sequence of row lengths is A000041(n), n >= 1 (partition numbers).
Number of permutations whose cycle structure is the given partition. Row sums are factorials (A000142). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jan 12 2006
A relation between partition polynomials formed from these "refined" Stirling numbers of the first kind and umbral operator trees and Lagrange inversion is presented in the link "Lagrange a la Lah".
These cycle index polynomials for the symmetric group S_n are also related to a raising operator / infinitesimal generator for fractional integro-derivatives, involving the digamma function and the Riemann zeta function values at positive integers, and to the characteristic polynomial for the adjacency matrix of complete n-graphs A055137 (cf. MathOverflow link). - Tom Copeland, Nov 03 2012
In the Lang link, replace all x(n) by t to obtain A132393. Furthermore replace x(1) by t and all other x(n) by 1 to obtain A008290. See A274760. - Tom Copeland, Nov 06 2012, Oct 29 2015 - corrected by Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 28 2016
The umbral compositional inverses of these polynomials are formed by negating the indeterminates x(n) for n>1, i.e., P(n,P(.,x(1),-x(2),-x(3),...),x(2),x(3),...) = x(1)^n (cf. A130561 for an example of umbral compositional inversion). The polynomials are an Appell sequence in x(1), i.e., dP(n,x(1))/dx(1) = n P(n-1, x(1)) and (P(.,x)+y)^n=P(n,x+y) umbrally, with P(0,x(1))=1. - Tom Copeland, Nov 14 2014
Regarded as the coefficients of the partition polynomials listed by Lang, a signed version of these polynomials IF(n,b1,b2,...,bn) (n! times polynomial on page 184 of Airault and Bouali) provides an inversion of the Faber polynomials F(n,b1,b2,...,bn) (page 52 of Bouali, A263916, and A115131). For example, F(3, IF(1,b1), IF(2,b1,b2)/2!, IF(3,b1,b2,b3)/3!) = b3 and IF(3, F(1,b1), F(2,b1,b2), F(3,b1,b2,b3))/3! = b3 with F(1,b1) = -b1. (Compare with A263634.) - Tom Copeland, Oct 28 2015; Sep 09 2016
The e.g.f. for the row partition polynomials is Sum_{n>=0} P_n(b_1,...,b_n) x^n/n! = exp[Sum_{n>=1} b_n x^n/n], or, exp[P.(b_1,...,b_n)x] = exp[-], expressed umbrally with <"power series"> denoting umbral evaluation (b.)^n = b_n within the power series. This e.g.f. is central to the paper by Maxim and Schuermannn on characteristic classes (cf. Friedrich and McKay also). - Tom Copeland, Nov 11 2015
The elementary Schur polynomials are given by S(n,x(1),x(2),...,x(n)) = P(n,x(1), 2*x(2),...,n*x(n)) / n!. See p. 12 of Carrell. - Tom Copeland, Feb 06 2016
These partition polynomials are also related to the Casimir invariants associated to quantum density states on p. 3 of Boya and Dixit and pp. 5 and 6 of Byrd and Khaneja. - Tom Copeland, Jul 24 2017
With the indeterminates (x_1,x_2,x_3,...) = (t,-c_2*t,-c_3*t,...) with c_n >0, umbrally P(n,a.) = P(n,t)|{t^n = a_n} = 0 and P(j,a.)P(k,a.) = P(j,t)P(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 A133932. - Tom Copeland, Feb 09 2018
For relation to the Witt symmetric functions, as well as the basic power, elementary, and complete symmetric functions, see the Borger link p. 295. For relations to diverse zeta functions, determinants, and paths on graphs, see the MathOverflow question Cycling Through the Zeta Garden. - Tom Copeland, Mar 25 2018
Chmutov et al. identify the partition polynomials of this entry with the one-part Schur polynomials and assert that any linear combination with constant coefficients of these polynomials is a tau function for the KP hierarchy. - Tom Copeland, Apr 05 2018
With the indeterminates in the partition polynomials assigned as generalized harmonic numbers, i.e., as partial sums of the Dirichlet series for the Riemann zeta function, zeta(n), for integer n > 1, sums of simple normalizations of these polynomials give either unity or simple sums of consecutive zeta(n) (cf. Hoffman). Other identities involving these polynomials can be found in the Choi reference in Hoffman's paper. - Tom Copeland, Oct 05 2019
On p. 39 of Ma Luo's thesis is the e.g.f. of rational functions r_n obtained through the (umbral) formula 1/(1-r.T) = exp[log(1+P.T)], a differently signed e.g.f. of this entry, where (P.)^n = P_n are Eisenstein elliptic functions. P. 38 gives the example of 4! * r_4 as the signed 4th row partition polynomial of this entry. This series is equated through a simple proportionality factor to the Zagier Jacobi form on p. 25. Recurrence relations for the P_n are given on p. 24 involving the normalized k-weight Eisenstein series G_k introduced on p. 23 and related to the Bernoulli numbers. - Tom Copeland, Oct 16 2019
The Chern characteristic classes or forms of complex vector bundles and the characteristic polynomials of curvature forms for a smooth manifold can be expressed in terms of this entry's partition polynomials with the associated traces, or power sum polynomials, as the indeterminates. The Chern character is the e.g.f. of these traces and so its coefficients are given by the Faber polynomials with this entry's partition polynomials as the indeterminates. See the Mathoverflow question "A canonical reference for Chern characteristic classes". - Tom Copeland, Nov 04 2019
For an application to the physics of charged fermions in an external field, see Figueroa et al. - Tom Copeland, Dec 05 2019
Konopelchenko, in Proposition 5.2, p. 19, defines an operator P_k that is a differently signed operator version of the partition polynomials of this entry divided by a factorial. These operators give rise to bilinear Hirota equations for the KP hierarchy. These partition polynomials are also presented in Hopf algebras of symmetric functions by Cartier. - Tom Copeland, Dec 18 2019
For relationship of these partition polynomials to calculations of Pontryagin classes and the Riemann xi function, see A231846. - Tom Copeland, May 27 2020
Luest and Skliros summarize on p. 298 many of the properties of the cycle index polynomials given here; and Bianchi and Firrotta, a few on p. 6. - Tom Copeland, Oct 15 2020
From Tom Copeland, Oct 15 2020: (Start)
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.

The partition polynomials of A036040 are obtained by substituting x[n]/(n-1)! for x[n] in the partition polynomials of this entry.
CIP_n(t-F(1,b1),-F(2,b1,b2),...,-F(n,b1,...,bn)) = P_n(b1,...,bn;t), where CIP_n are the partition polynomials of this entry; F(n,...), those of A263916; and P_n, those defined in my formula in A094587, e.g., P_2(b1,b2;t) = 2 b2 + 2 b1 t + t^2.
CIP_n(-F(1,b1),-F(2,b1,b2),...,-F(n,b1,...,bn)) = n! bn. (End)
From the relation to the elementary Schur polynomials given in A130561 and above, the partition polynomials of this array satisfy (d/d(x_m)) P(n,x_1,...,x_n) = (1/m) * (n!/(n-m)!) * P(n-m,x_1,...,x_(n-m)) with P(k,...) = 0 for k<0. - Tom Copeland, Sep 07 2016
Regarded as Appell polynomials in the indeterminate x(1)=u, the partition polynomials of this entry P_n(u) obey d/du P_n(u) = n * P_{n-1}(u), so the abscissas for the zeros of P_n(u) are the same as those of the extrema of P{n+1}(u). In addition, the coefficient of u^{n-1} in P_{n}(u) is zero since these polynomials are related to the characteristic polynomials of matrices with null main diagonals, and, therefore, the trace is zero, further implying the abscissa for any zero is the negative of the sum of the abscissas of the remaining zeros. This assumes all zeros are distinct and real. - Tom Copeland, Nov 10 2019

This sequence counts the "almost triangular" partitions of n. A partition is triangular if it is of the form 0+1+2+...+k. Examples: 3=0+1+2, 6=0+1+2+3. An "almost triangular" partition is a triangular partition with at most 1 added to each of the parts. Examples: 7 = 1+1+2+3 = 0+2+2+3 = 0+1+3+3 = 0+1+2+4. Thus a(7)=4. 8 = 1+2+2+3 = 1+1+3+3 = 1+1+2+4 = 0+2+3+3 = 0+2+2+4 = 0+1+3+4 so a(8)=6. - Moshe Shmuel Newman, Dec 19 2002

Also the number of increasing acyclic functions from {1..n-k+1} to {1..n+2}. A function f is acyclic if for every subset B of the domain the image of B under f does not equal B. For example, T(3,1)=4 since there are exactly 4 increasing acyclic functions from {1,2,3} to {1,2,3,4,5}: f1={(1,2),(2,3),(3,4)}, f2={(1,2),(2,3),(3,5)}, f3={(1,2),(2,4),(3,5)} and f4={(1,3),(2,4),(4,5)}. - Dennis P.

T(n,k) generated by m-gon expansions in the case of odd m with "vertex to side" version or even m with "vertex to vertes" version. Refer to triangle expansions in A061777 and A101946 (and their companions for m-gons) which are "vertex to vertex" and "vertex to side" versions respectively. The label values at each iteration can be arranged as a triangle. Any m-gon can also be arranged as the same triangle with conditions: (i) m is odd and expansion is "vertex to side" version or (ii) m is even and expansion is "vertex to vertex" version. m*Sum_{i=1..k} T(n,k) gives the total label value at the n-th iteration. See also A247976. Vertex to vertex: A061777, A247618, A247619, A247620. Vertex to side: A101946, A247903, A247904, A247905. - Kival Ngaokrajang Sep 28 2014
From Tom Copeland, Nov 12 2014: (Start)
With P(n,x) = [(x+1)^(n+1)-x^(n+1)], the row polynomials of this entry, Up(n,x) = P(n,x)/(n+1) form an Appell sequence of polynomials that are the umbral compositional inverses of the Bernoulli polynomials B(n,x), i.e., B[n,Up(.,x)] = x^n = Up[n,B(.,x)] under umbral substitution, e.g., B(.,x)^n = B(n,x).
The e.g.f. for the Bernoulli polynomials is [t/(e^t - 1)] e^(x*t), and for Up(n,x) it's exp[Up(.,x)t] = [(e^t - 1)/t] e^(x*t).
Another g.f. is G(t,x) = log[(1-x*t)/(1-(1+x)*t)] = log[1 + t /(1 + -(1+x)t)] = t/(1-t*Up(.,x)) = Up(0,x)*t + Up(1,x)*t^2 + Up(2,x)*t^3 + ... = t + (1+2x)/2 t^2 + (1+3x+3x^2)/3 t^3 + (1+4x+6x^2+4x^3)/4 t^4 + ... = -log(1-t*P(.,x)), expressed umbrally.
The inverse, Ginv(t,x), in t of the g.f. may be found in A008292 from Copeland's list of formulas (Sep 2014) with a=(1+x) and b=x. This relates these two sets of polynomials to algebraic geometry, e.g., elliptic curves, trigonometric expansions, Chebyshev polynomials, and the combinatorics of permutahedra and their duals.
Ginv(t,x) = [e^((1+x)t) - e^(xt)] / [(1+x) * e^((1+x)t) - x * e^(xt)] = [e^(t/2) - e^(-t/2)] / [(1+x)e^(t/2) - x*e^(-t/2)] = (e^t - 1) / [1 + (1+x) (e^t - 1)] = t - (1 + 2 x) t^2/2! + (1 + 6 x + 6 x^2) t^3/3! - (1 + 14 x + 36 x^2 + 24 x^3) t^4/4! + ... = -exp[-Perm(.,x)t], where Perm(n,x) are the reverse face polynomials, or reverse f-vectors, for the permutahedra, i.e., the face polynomials for the duals of the permutahedra. Cf. A090582, A019538, A049019, A133314, A135278.
With L(t,x) = t/(1+t*x) with inverse L(t,-x) in t, and Cinv(t) = e^t - 1 with inverse C(t) = log(1 + t). Then Ginv(t,x) = L[Cinv(t),(1+x)] and G(t,x) = C[L[t,-(1+x)]]. Note L is the special linear fractional (Mobius) transformation.
Connections among the combinatorics of the permutahedra, simplices (cf. A135278), and the associahedra can be made through the Lagrange inversion formula (LIF) of A133437 applied to G(t,x) (cf. A111785 and the Schroeder paths A126216 also), and similarly for the LIF A134685 applied to Ginv(t,x) involving the simplicial Whitehouse complex, phylogenetic trees, and other structures. (See also the LIFs A145271 and A133932). (End)
R = x - exp[-[B(n+1)/(n+1)]D] = x - exp[zeta(-n)D] is the raising operator for this normalized sequence UP(n,x) = P(n,x) / (n+1), that is, R UP(n,x) = UP(n+1,x), where D = d/dx, zeta(-n) is the value of the Riemann zeta function evaluated at -n, and B(n) is the n-th Bernoulli number, or constant B(n,0) of the Bernoulli polynomials. The raising operator for the Bernoulli polynomials is then x + exp[-[B(n+1)/(n+1)]D]. [Note added Nov 25 2014: exp[zeta(-n)D] is abbreviation of exp(a.D) with (a.)^n = a_n = zeta(-n)]. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2014
The diagonals T(n, n-m), for n >= m, give the m-th iterated partial sum of the positive integers; that is A000027(n+1), A000217(n), A000292(n-1), A000332(n+1), A000389(n+1), A000579(n+1), A000580(n+1), A000581(n+1), A000582(n+1), ... . - Wolfdieter Lang, May 21 2015
The transpose gives the numerical coefficients of the Maurer-Cartan form matrix for the general linear group GL(n,1) (cf. Olver, but note that the formula at the bottom of p. 6 has an error--the 12 should be a 15). - Tom Copeland, Nov 05 2015
The left invariant Maurer-Cartan form polynomial on p. 7 of the Olver paper for the group GL^n(1) is essentially a binomial convolution of the row polynomials of this entry with those of A133314, or equivalently the row polynomials generated by the product of the e.g.f. of this entry with that of A133314, with some reindexing. - Tom Copeland, Jul 03 2018
From Tom Copeland, Jul 10 2018: (Start)
The first column of the inverse matrix is the sequence of Bernoulli numbers, which follows from the umbral definition of the Bernoulli polynomials (B.(0) + x)^n = B_n(x) evaluated at x = 1 and the relation B_n(0) = B_n(1) for n > 1 and -B_1(0) = 1/2 = B_1(1), so the Bernoulli numbers can be calculated using Cramer's rule acting on this entry's matrix and, therefore, from the ratios of volumes of parallelepipeds determined by the columns of this entry's square submatrices. - Tom Copeland, Jul 10 2018
Umbrally composing the row polynomials with B_n(x), the Bernoulli polynomials, gives (B.(x)+1)^(n+1) - (B.(x))^(n+1) = d[x^(n+1)]/dx = (n+1)*x^n, so multiplying this entry as a lower triangular matrix (LTM) by the LTM of the coefficients of the Bernoulli polynomials gives the diagonal matrix of the natural numbers. Then the inverse matrix of this entry has the elements B_(n,k)/(k+1), where B_(n,k) is the coefficient of x^k for B_n(x), and the e.g.f. (1/x) (e^(xt)-1)/(e^t-1). (End)

Row n has g.f. (1+x)^(n+1)-x^(n+1).

The o.g.f. GF(x,t) = x / ((1-t*x)*(1-(1+t)x)) = x + (1+2t)*x^2 + (1+3t+3t^2)*x^3 + ... has the inverse GFinv(x,t) = (1+(1+2t)x-sqrt(1+(1+2t)*2x+x^2))/(2t(1+t)x) in x about 0, which generates the row polynomials (mod row signs) of A033282. The reciprocal of the o.g.f., i.e., x/GF(x,t), gives the free cumulants (1, -(1+2t) , t(1+t) , 0, 0, ...) associated with the moments defined by GFinv, and, in fact, these free cumulants generate these moments through the noncrossing partitions of A134264. The associated e.g.f. and relations to Grassmannians are described in A248727, whose polynomials are the basis for an Appell sequence of polynomials that are umbral compositional inverses of the Appell sequence formed from this entry's polynomials (distinct from the one described in the comments above, without the normalizing reciprocal). - Tom Copeland, Jan 07 2015

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

Examples

			From _Tom Copeland_, Sep 19 2014: (Start)
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)

Since [L]^2 = [P]^2 = [RT]^2 = [I], the substitutional identity, [L] = [E][P] = [P][E]^(-1) = [RT][P], [RT] = [E]^(-1)[P] = [P][L][P] = [P][E], and [P] = [L][E] = [E][RT] = [E]^(-1)[L] = [RT][E]^(-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 05 2022

The coefficients of the Faber polynomials F(n,b(1),b(2),...,b(n)) (Bouali, p. 52) in the order of the partitions of Abramowitz and Stegun. Compare with A115131 and A210258.
These polynomials occur in discussions of the Virasoro algebra, univalent function spaces and the Schwarzian derivative, symmetric functions, and free probability theory. They are intimately related to symmetric functions, free probability, and Appell sequences through the raising operator R = x - d log(H(D))/dD for the Appell sequence inverse pair associated to the e.g.f.s H(t)e^(xt) (cf. A094587) and (1/H(t))e^(xt) with H(0)=1.
Instances of the Faber polynomials occur in discussions of modular invariants and modular functions in the papers by Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya, by Ono and Rolen, and by Zagier. - Tom Copeland, Aug 13 2019
The Faber polynomials, denoted by s_n(a(t)) where a(t) is a formal power series defined by a product formula, are implicitly defined by equation 13.4 on p. 62 of Hazewinkel so as to extract the power sums of the reciprocals of the zeros of a(t). This is the Newton identity expressing the power sum symmetric polynomials in terms of the elementary symmetric polynomials/functions. - Tom Copeland, Jun 06 2020
From Tom Copeland, Oct 15 2020: (Start)
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.

The polynomials specialize to F(n,t,t,...) = (1-t)^n - 1.

-(n-1)! F(n,B(1,x[1]),B(2,x[1],x[2])/2!,...,B(n,x[1],...,x[n])/n!) = x[n] provides an extraction of the indeterminates of the complete Bell partition polynomials B(n,x[1],...,x[n]) of A036040. Conversely, IF(n,-x[1],-x[2],-x[3]/2!,...,-x[n]/(n-1)!) = B(n,x[1],...,x[n]). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2015

Note also that exp(f(x)) = 1 / g(x) = exp[Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) * x^n/n] implies relations among A036040, A133314, A036039, and the Faber polynomials. - Tom Copeland, Dec 16 2015
The Dress and Siebeneicher paper gives combinatorial interpretations and various relations that the Faber polynomials must satisfy for integral values of its arguments. E.g., Eqn. (1.2) p. 2 implies [2 * F(1,-1) + F(2,-1,b2) + F(4,-1,b2,b3,b4)] mod(4) = 0. This equation implies that [F(n,b1,b2,...,bn)-(-b1)^n] mod(n) = 0 for n prime. - Tom Copeland, Feb 01 2016
With the elementary Schur polynomials S(n,a_1,a_2,...,a_n) = Lah(n,a_1,a_2,...,a_n) / n!, where Lah(n,...) are the refined Lah polynomials of A130561, F(n,S(1,a_1),S(2,a_1,a_2),...,S(n,a_1,...,a_n)) = -n * a_n since sum_{n > 0} a_n x^n = log[sum{n >= 0} S(n,a_1,...,a_n) x^n]. Conversely, S(n,-F(1,a_1),-F(2,a_1,a_2)/2,...,-F(n,a_1,...,a_n)/n) = a_n. - Tom Copeland, Sep 07 2016

"Ordinary" here means in contrast to "exponential", cf. A178867 (see Comtet).
Graded lexicographic order with x[1] > x[2] > ... > x[n] means that monomials are compared first by their total degree, with ties broken by lexicographic order. These monomials correspond to integer partitions.
Row sums are powers of 2. Numbers of terms in rows are partition numbers A000041.
OP_n(-a_1,..,-a_n) = EP_n(a_1,2!*a_2,..,n!*a_n) / n!, where OP_n(a_1,..,a_n) are the partition polynomials of this entry and EP_n, the polynomials of A133314; i.e., the sequences are related as reciprocal o.g.f.s are to reciprocal e.g.f.s. The polynomials play a role in expansion of the iterated Lie derivative (g(x) D_x)^n) formalism for the compositional inversion sketched in A133932. With x[n] = t, the array reduces to the Pascal matrix A007318. - Tom Copeland, Sep 19 2016
The signed row partition polynomials can be generated by the Gram determinants of equation 2.23 on page 133 of the Verde-Star paper. E.g., h_3 = -b_1^3 + 2 b_1 b_2 - b_3 corresponds to the third row. The connection to A133314 is obtained by substituting a(k) = k!*b_k = -k!*x[k] and b(k) = k!*h_k in A133314 to compute reciprocals of o.g.f.s rather than e.g.f.s. - Tom Copeland, Dec 04 2016

Since E(x) = (1+x_1*x)(1+x_2*x)...(1+x_m*x) is the o.g.f. for the elementary symmetric polynomials e_n(x_1,x_2,...,x_m) and the o.g.f. for the complete symmetric polynomials h_n(x_1,x_2,...,x_m) is H(x) = 1 / E(-x), this entry's partition polynomials with correct signs give either sequence in terms of the other. - Tom Copeland, Jan 29 2018
A133314 has an interpretation as weighted surjective mappings. With the connections of this mapping colored and permuted to give mappings distinguished by the order of the colorings (an induced linear ordering by color of the connecting arrows), the signed partition polynomials of this entry, multiplied by n!, are generated. - Tom Copeland, Sep 10 2020

Coefficients are listed in Abramowitz and Stegun order (A036036).
Irregular triangular matrix of the unsigned coefficients of the free moment partition polynomials of free probability theory, for a single variable, that give the free formal cumulants given the free formal moments. This set of partition polynomials together with those of A134264 are the counterparts to the exp-log relations for the classical formal moments and cumulants associated with A036040 and A127671.
Associations with a compositional inverse pair of Laurent series, Kac-Schwarz operators of 2-D quantum theory, Virasoro / Witt / Heisenberg group actions, and KP and KdV integrable hierarchies are noted in references supplied in the MathOverflow link as well as a geometric combinatorial model based upon noncrossing partitions.

Formula

O.g.f.: C(x) = 1 + c_1 x + c_2 x^2 + ... = x / (x + m_1 x^2 + m_2 x^3 + m_3 x^4 + ...)^(-1) = x / M^(-1)(x), the shifted reciprocal of the compositional inverse of a power series M(x) = x + m_1 x^2 + m_2 x^3 + ..., the o.g.f. of the free moments m_n in free probability theory.
Row sums: big Schroeder numbers A006318.
Refinement of A060693 and A088617, i.e., by letting m_n = -t and removing all resulting signs, the elements of these two lower triangular matrices are generated.
The coefficients of the highest order terms in m_1^n of the free moment partition polynomials are the signed Catalan numbers A000108.
Taking the derivative with respect to the indeterminate m_1 generates the Lagrange inversion partition polynomials, with shifted indices, of A133437 and A111785 with an overall scale factor. These Lagrange inversion polynomials are the refined Euler characteristic polynomials of the associahedra. E.g.,
D_{m_1} c_5 = 5 (- m_4 + 3 m_2^2 + 6 m_3 m_1 - 21 m_2 m_1^2 + 14 m_1^4). An analogous differential formula that applies to the classical formal cumulants in relation to the permutahedra is stated in my 2012 comment in A127671.
The o.g.f. satisfies the partial differential equations D_{m_1} (x / C(x)) = -(1/3) D_x (x / C(x))^3 and D_{m_1} (C(x) / x) = D_x (x / C(x)), where D_{m_1} and D_x are the partial derivatives with respect to m_1 and x.
More generally, D_{m_n} (x / C(x)) = -(1/(n+2)) D_x (x / C(x))^{n+2), equivalent to D_{m_n} M^(-1)(x) = -(1/(n+2)) D_x (M^(-1)(x))^{n+2). Equations of this type are found in Zhou (see eqn. 44 on p. 11), characterizing the KdV hierarchy. These differential equations can be transformed into the inviscid Burgers-Hopf partial differential equation (see, e.g., A133437, A086810, A001764, A002293, A133932, A134685, and A276850).
The formal free cumulants when identified as the indeterminates of the noncrossing Lagrange inversion partition polynomials NCP_n(c_1,c_2,...,c_n) = m_n of A134264 (as in the example section) satisfy the partial differential equations D_{m_k} NCP_n(c_1, ..., c_n) = d(m_n)/dm_k = delta_{n-k}, where delta_{n} is the Kronecker delta which is zero for all integers n other than n = 0, for which it evaluates as unity. This provides a recursion method for determining the partial derivatives dc_n/dm_k from the partial derivatives dc_p/dm_k and cumulants c_p with k <= p < n. For example, dc_k/dm_j = 0 for j > k and dc_k/dm_k = 1, so dm_3/dm_2 = 0 = D_{m_2} (c_3 + 3 c_2 c_1 + c_1^3) = dc_3/dm_2 + 3 c_1 dc_2/dm_2 = dc_3/dm_2 + 3 c_1 , implying dc_3/dm_2 = -3 c_1 = -3 m_1.
T(n,k) = (n+j-2)!/((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
Conjecture: free cumulants in terms of the free moments are R(n,1) for n > 0 where R(n,k) = R(n-1,k+1) - Sum_{j=1..n-1} R(j,k)*R(n-j,1) for n > 1, k > 0 with R(1,k) = m_k for k > 0. - Mikhail Kurkov, Mar 30 2025
