Programs

Mathematica

P[n_, t_] := Product[n*t - k, {k, 0, n-2}]; row[n_] := CoefficientList[P[n, t], t]; Table[row[n], {n, 1, 10}] // Flatten

Formula

P(n,t) = (n-1)!*binomial(n*t, n-1).

From Peter Bala, Nov 15 2015: (Start)

E.g.f. (with constant term 1): B_t(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} 1/(n*t + 1)*binomial(n*t + 1,n)*x^n = 1 + x + 2*t*x^2/2! + 3*t(3*t - 1)*x^3/3! + 4*t*(4*t - 1)*(4*t - 2)*x^4/4! + ... is the generalized binomial series of Lambert. See Graham et al., Section 5.4 and Section 7.5.

In the notation of the Bala link, B_t(x) = I^t(1 + x) where I^t is a fractional inversion operator. B_(1+t)(x) is the e.g.f. for A260687.

B_t(x) = 1 + x*B_t(x)^t.

For complex r, B_t(x)^r = Sum_{n >= 0} r/(n*t + r)*binomial(n*t + r,n)*x^n.

log (B_t(x)) = Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(n*t)*binomial(n*t,n)*x^n.

B_2(x) is the o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108. B_t(x) for t = 3,4,5,... gives the o.g.f. for various Fuss-Catalan sequences. See the cross references. (End)
