T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^(j+k) * binomial(j, k).
E.g.f: (exp(t) - (x-1)*exp((x-1)*t))/(2-x).
O.g.f. (n-th row): (1-(x-1)^(n+1))/(2-x).
Associated operator identities:
With D=d/dx, :xD:^n=x^n*D^n, and :Dx:^n=D^n*x^n, then bin(xD,n)= binomial(xD,n)=:xD:^n/n! and L(n,-:xD:)=:Dx:^n/n!=bin(xD+n,n)=(-1)^n bin(-xD-1,n),
A-o) Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k L(k,-:xD:) = Sum_{k=0..n} :-Dx:^k/k!
= Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) :-xD:^k/k! = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k T(n,k)bin(xD,k)
B-o) Sum_{k=0..n} :xD:^k/k! = Sum_{k=0..n}, T(n,k) L(k,-:xD:)
= Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) :Dx:^k/k! = Sum_{k=0..n}, bin(xD,k).
Associated binomial identities:
A-b) Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k bin(s+k,k) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k T(n,k) bin(s,k)
= Sum_{k=0..n} bin(-s-1,k) = Sum{k=0..n} T(n,k) bin(-s-1+k,k)
B-b) Sum_{k=0..n} bin(s,k) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) bin(s+k,k)
= Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k bin(-s-1+k,k)
= Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k T(n,k) bin(-s-1,k).
In particular, from B-b with s=n, Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) bin(n+k,k) = 2^n. From B-b with s=0, row sums are all 1.
From identity C with x=-2, the unsigned row sums are the Jacobsthal sequence, i.e., Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) (1+(-2))^k = (-1)^n

With -s-1 = m = 0,1,2,..., B-b gives finite differences (recursions):
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k T(n,k) bin(m,k) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k bin(m+k,k) = T(n+m,m), i.e., finite differences of the columns of T generate shifted columns of T. The columns of T are signed, shifted versions of sequences listed in the cross-references. Since the finite difference is an involution, T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j T(n+j,j) bin(k,j)}. Gauss-Newton interpolation can be applied to give a generalized T(n,s) for s noninteger.
From identity C, S(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) bin(k,m) = 1 for m < n+1 and 0 otherwise, i.e., S = T*P, where S =
A000012, as a lower triangular matrix and P = Pascal =
A007318, so T = S*P^(-1), where P^(-1) =
A130595, the signed Pascal array (see
A132440), the inverse of P, and T^(-1) = P*S^(-1) = P*
A167374 =
A156644.
U(n,cos(x)) = e^(-n*i*x)*Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*(1+e^(2*i*x))^k = sin((n+1)x)/sin(x), where U is the Chebyschev polynomial of the second kind
A053117 and i^2 = -1. -

With a(n,x) = e^(nx), the partial sums are 1+e^x+...+e^(nx) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) (1+e^x)^k = [ x / (e^x-1) ] [ e^((n+1)x) -1 ] / x = [ (x / (e^x-1)) e^((n+1)x) - (x / (e^x-1)) ] / x = Sum_{k>=0} [ (Ber(k+1,n+1) - Ber(k+1,0)) / (k+1) ] * x^k/k!, where Ber(n,x) are the Bernoulli polynomials (cf. Adams p. 140). Evaluating (d/dx)^m at x=0 of these expressions gives relations among the partial sums of the m-th powers of the integers, their binomial transforms, and the Bernoulli polynomials.
With a(n,x) = (-1)^n e^(nx), the partial sums are 1-e^x+...+(-1)^n e^(nx) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) (1-e^x)^k = [ (-1)^n e^((n+1)x) + 1 ] / (e^x+1) = [ (-1)^n (2 / (e^x+1)) e^((n+1)x) + (2 / (e^x+1)) ] / 2 = (1/2) Sum_{k>=0} [ (-1)^n Eul(k,n+1) + Eul(k,0) ] * x^k/k!, where Eul(n,x) are the Euler polynomials. Evaluating (d/dx)^m at x=0 of these expressions gives relations among the partial sums of signed m-th powers of the integers; their binomial transforms, related to the Stirling numbers of the second kind and face numbers of the permutahedra; and the Euler polynomials.

As in
A059260, a generator in terms of bivariate polynomials with the coefficients of this entry is given by (1/(1-y))*1/(1 + (y/(1-y))*x - (1/(1-y))*x^2) = 1 + y + (x^2 - x*y + y^2) + (2*x^2*y - 2*x*y^2 + y^3) + (x^4 - 2*x^3*y + 4*x^2*y^2 - 3*x*y^3 + y^4) + ... . This is of the form -h2 * 1 / (1 + h1*x + h2*x^2), related to the bivariate generator of
A049310 with h1 = y/(1-y) and h2 = -1/(1-y) = -(1+h1). -

Letting P(k,x) = x in D gives Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*Sum_{j=0..k} binomial(k,j) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) 2^k = n + 1.
T(n, k) = [x^k] Sum_{j=0..n} (x-1)^j. -
