The row polynomials with exponents in increasing order (e.g., third row: 1+3x+3x^2) are Grosswald's y_{n}(x) polynomials, p. 18, Eq. (7).
Also called Bessel numbers of first kind.
The triangle a(n,k) has factorization [C(n,k)][C(k,n-k)]Diag((2n-1)!!) The triangle a(n-k,k) is A100861, which gives coefficients of scaled Hermite polynomials. - Paul Barry, May 21 2005
Related to k-matchings of the complete graph K_n by a(n,k)=A100861(n+k,k). Related to the Morgan-Voyce polynomials by a(n,k)=(2k-1)!!*A085478(n,k). - Paul Barry, Aug 17 2005
Related to Hermite polynomials by a(n,k)=(-1)^k*A060821(n+k, n-k)/2^n. - Paul Barry, Aug 28 2005
The row polynomials, the Bessel polynomials y(n,x):=Sum_{m=0..n} (a(n,m)*x^m) (called y_{n}(x) in the Grosswald reference) satisfy (x^2)*(d^2/dx^2)y(n,x) + 2*(x+1)*(d/dx)y(n,x) - n*(n+1)*y(n,x) = 0.
a(n-1, m-1), n >= m >= 1, enumerates unordered n-vertex forests composed of m plane (aka ordered) increasing (rooted) trees. Proof from the e.g.f. of the first column Y(z):=1-sqrt(1-2*z) (offset 1) and the Bergeron et al. eq. (8) Y'(z)= phi(Y(z)), Y(0)=0, with out-degree o.g.f. phi(w)=1/(1-w). See their remark on p. 28 on plane recursive trees. For m=1 see the D. Callan comment on A001147 from Oct 26 2006. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 14 2007
The asymptotic expansions of the higher order exponential integrals E(x,m,n), see A163931 for information, lead to the Bessel numbers of the first kind in an intriguing way. For the first four values of m these asymptotic expansions lead to the triangles A130534 (m=1), A028421 (m=2), A163932 (m=3) and A163934 (m=4). The o.g.f.s. of the right hand columns of these triangles in their turn lead to the triangles A163936 (m=1), A163937 (m=2), A163938 (m=3) and A163939 (m=4). The row sums of these four triangles lead to A001147, A001147 (minus a(0)), A001879 and A000457 which are the first four right hand columns of A001498. We checked this phenomenon for a few more values of m and found that this pattern persists: m = 5 leads to A001880, m=6 to A001881, m=7 to A038121 and m=8 to A130563 which are the next four right hand columns of A001498. So one by one all columns of the triangle of coefficients of Bessel polynomials appear. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 07 2009
a(n,k) also appear as coefficients of (n+1)st degree of the differential operator D:=1/t d/dt, namely D^{n+1}= Sum_{k=0..n} a(n,k) (-1)^{n-k} t^{1-(n+k)} (d^{n+1-k}/dt^{n+1-k}. - Leonid Bedratyuk, Aug 06 2010
a(n-1,k) are the coefficients when expanding (xI)^n in terms of powers of I. Let I(f)(x) := Integral_{a..x} f(t) dt, and (xI)^n := x Integral_{a..x} [ x_{n-1} Integral_{a..x_{n-1}} [ x_{n-2} Integral_{a..x_{n-2}} ... [ x_1 Integral_{a..x_1} f(t) dt ] dx_1 ] .. dx_{n-2} ] dx_{n-1}. Then: (xI)^n = Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^k * a(n-1,k) * x^(n-k) * I^(n+k)(f)(x) where I^(n) denotes iterated integration. - Abdelhay Benmoussa, Apr 11 2025

Formula

a(n, k) = (n+k)!/(2^k*(n-k)!*k!) (see Grosswald and Riordan). - Ralf Stephan, Apr 20 2004
a(n, 0)=1; a(0, k)=0, k > 0; a(n, k) = a(n-1, k) + (n-k+1) * a(n, k-1) = a(n-1, k) + (n+k-1) * a(n-1, k-1). - Len Smiley
a(n, m) = A001497(n, n-m) = A001147(m)*binomial(n+m, 2*m) for n >= m >= 0, otherwise 0.
G.f. for m-th column: (A001147(m)*x^m)/(1-x)^(2*m+1), m >= 0, where A001147(m) = double factorials (from explicit a(n, m) form).
Row polynomials y_n(x) are given by D^(n+1)(exp(t)) evaluated at t = 0, where D is the operator 1/(1-t*x)*d/dt. - Peter Bala, Nov 25 2011
G.f.: conjecture: T(0)/(1-x), where T(k) = 1 - x*y*(k+1)/(x*y*(k+1) - (1-x)^2/T(k+1)); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 13 2013
Recurrence from Grosswald, p. 18, eq. (5), for the row polynomials: y_n(x) = (2*n-1)*x*y_{n-1} + y_{n-2}(x), y_{-1}(x) = 1 = y_{0} = 1, n >= 1. This becomes, for n >= 0, k = 0..n: a(n, k) = 0 for n < k (zeros not shown in the triangle), a(n, -1) = 0, a(0, 0) = 1 = a(1, 0) and otherwise a(n, k) = (2*n-1)*a(n-1, k-1) + a(n-2, k). Compare with the above given recurrences. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 11 2018
T(n, k) = Pochhammer(n+1,k)*binomial(n,k)/2^k = A113025(n,k)/2^k. - Peter Luschny, May 11 2018
a(n, k) = Sum_{i=0..min(n-1, k)} (n-i)(k-i) * a(n-1, i) where x(n) = x*(x-1)*...*(x-n+1) is the falling factorial, this equality follows directly from the operational formula we wrote in Apr 11 2025.- Abdelhay Benmoussa, May 18 2025

The (reverse) Bessel polynomials P(n,x):=Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m, the row polynomials, called Theta_n(x) in the Grosswald reference, solve x*(d^2/dx^2)P(n,x) - 2*(x+n)*(d/dx)P(n,x) + 2*n*P(n,x) = 0.
With the related Sheffer associated polynomials defined by Carlitz as
B(0,x) = 1
B(1,x) = x
B(2,x) = x + x^2
B(3,x) = 3 x + 3 x^2 + x^3
B(4,x) = 15 x + 15 x^2 + 6 x^3 + x^4
... (see Mathworld reference), then P(n,x) = 2^n * B(n,x/2) are the Sheffer polynomials described in A119274. - Tom Copeland, Feb 10 2008
Exponential Riordan array [1/sqrt(1-2x), 1-sqrt(1-2x)]. - Paul Barry, Jul 27 2010
From Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 18 2011: (Start)
For B(n,k){...} the Bell polynomial of the second kind we have
B(n,k){f', f'', f''', ...} = T(n-1,k-1)*(1-2*x)^(k/2-n), where f(x) = 1-sqrt(1-2*x).
The expansions of the first few rows are:
1/sqrt(1-2*x);
1/(1-2*x)^(3/2), 1/(1-2*x);
3/(1-2*x)^(5/2), 3/(1-2*x)^2, 1/(1-2*x)^(3/2);
15/(1-2*x)^(7/2), 15/(1-2*x)^3, 6/(1-2*x)^(5/2), 1/(1-2*x)^2. (End)

The row polynomials p_n(x) of A107102 are (-1)^n B_n(1-x), where B_n(x) are the modified Carlitz-Bessel polynomials above, e.g., (-1)^2 B_2(1-x) = (1-x) + (1-x)^2 = 2 - 3 x + x^2 = p_2(x). - Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2016
a(n-1,m-1) counts rooted unordered binary forests with n labeled leaves and m roots. - David desJardins, Feb 23 2019
From Jianing Song, Nov 29 2021: (Start)
The polynomials P_n(x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k satisfy: P_n(x) - (d/dx)P_n(x) = x*P_{n-1}(x) for n >= 1.
{P(n,x)} are related to the Fourier transform of 1/(1+x^2)^(n+1) and x/(1+x^2)^(n+2):
(i) For n >= 0, real number t, we have Integral_{x=-oo..oo} exp(-i*t*x)/(1+x^2)^(n+1) dx = Pi/(2^n*n!) * P_n(|t|) * exp(-|t|);
(ii) For n >= 0, real number t, we have Integral_{x=-oo..oo} x*exp(-i*t*x)/(1+x^2)^(n+2) dx = Pi/(2^(n+1)*(n+1)!) * ((-t)*P_n(-|t|)) * exp(-|t|). (End)
Suppose that f(x) is an n-times differentiable function defined on (a,b) for 0 <= a < b <= +oo, then for n >= 1, the n-th derivative of f(sqrt(x)) on (a^2,b^2) is Sum_{k=1..n} ((-1)^(n-k)*T(n-1,k-1)*f^(k)(sqrt(x))) / (2^n*x^(n-(k/2))), where f^(k) is the k-th derivative of f. - Jianing Song, Nov 30 2023

Formula

a(n) = binomial(2*n-2*k, n-k)*binomial(2*n-k-1, k-1)*(n-k)!/2^(n-k) = A132062(2*n, n).
a(n) = (3*n)! / (3 * 2^n * n!^2) for n >= 1, that is A245066(n) / 3 for n >= 1.
a(n) = (n-1)! * [x^n] (1 + x*hypergeom([4/3, 5/3], [2], (27*x)/2)) for n >= 1.
a(n) = a(n - 1)*(27*n^3 - 54*n^2 + 33*n - 6)/(2*n^2 - 2*n).
Showing 1-3 of 3 results.
