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) Triangle starts: 1; 1; 1, 1; 1, 4, 1; 1, 11, 4, 7, 1; 1, 26, 34, 32, 15, 11, 1; 1, 57, 180, 122, 34, 192, 76, 15, 26, 16, 1; 1, 120, 768, 423, 496, 1494, 426, 294, 267, 474, 156, 56, 42, 22, 1; 1, 247, 2904, 1389, 4288, 9204, 2127, 496, 5946, 2829, 5142, 1206, 855, 768, 1344, 1038, 288, 56, 98, 64, 29, 1;

Formula
Let R = g(x)d/dx; then
R^0 g(x) = 1 (0')^1
R^1 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^1
R^2 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^2 + 1 (0')^2 (2')^1
R^3 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^3 + 4 (0')^2 (1')^1 (2')^1 + 1 (0')^3 (3')^1
R^4 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^4 + 11 (0')^2 (1')^2 (2')^1 + 4 (0')^3 (2')^2 + 7 (0')^3 (1')^1 (3')^1 + 1 (0')^4 (4')^1
R^5 g(x) = 1 (0') (1')^5 + 26 (0')^2 (1')^3 (2') + (0')^3 [34 (1') (2')^2 + 32 (1')^2 (3')] + (0')^4 [ 15 (2') (3') + 11 (1') (4')] + (0')^5 (5')
R^6 g(x) = 1 (0') (1')^6 + 57 (0')^2 (1')^4 (2') + (0')^3 [180 (1')^2 (2')^2 + 122 (1')^3 (3')] + (0')^4 [ 34 (2')^3 + 192 (1') (2') (3') + 76 (1')^2 (4')] + (0')^5 [15 (3')^2 + 26 (2') (4') + 16 (1') (5')] + (0')^6 (6')
where (j')^k = ((d/dx)^j g(x))^k. And R^(n-1) g(x) evaluated at x=0 is the n-th Taylor series coefficient of the compositional inverse of h(x) = (d/dx)^(-1) 1/g(x), with the integral from 0 to x.
The partitions are in reverse order to those in Abramowitz and Stegun p. 831. Summing over coefficients with like powers of (0') gives A008292.
Confer A190015 for another way to compute numbers for the array for each partition. - Tom Copeland, Oct 17 2014
Equivalent matrix computation: Multiply the n-th diagonal (with n=0 the main diagonal) of the lower triangular Pascal matrix by g_n = (d/dx)^n g(x) to obtain the matrix VP with VP(n,k) = binomial(n,k) g_(n-k). Then R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^n (g_0, g_1, g_2, ...)^T, where S is the shift matrix A129185, representing differentiation in the divided powers basis x^n/n!. - Tom Copeland, Feb 10 2016 (An evaluation removed by author on Jul 19 2016. Cf. A139605 and A134685.)
Also, R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^(n+1) (0, 1, 0, ...)^T in agreement with A139605. - Tom Copeland, Jul 21 2016

Indeterminate substitutions as illustrated in A356145 lead to [E] = [L][P] = [P][E]^(-1)[P] = [P][RT] and [E]^(-1) = [P][L] = [P][E][P] = [RT][P], where [E] contains the refined Eulerian partition polynomials of this entry; [E]^(-1), A356145, the inverse set to [E]; [P], the permutahedra polynomials of A133314; [L], the classic Lagrange inversion polynomials of A134685; and [RT], the reciprocal tangent polynomials of A356144. 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
