Previous name was: Riordan array (1, 1/(1-x)) read by rows.
Note this Riordan array would be denoted (1, x/(1-x)) by some authors.
Columns have g.f. (x/(1-x))^k. Reverse of A071919. Row sums are A011782. Antidiagonal sums are Fibonacci(n-1). Inverse as Riordan array is (1, 1/(1+x)). A097805=B*A059260*B^(-1), where B is the binomial matrix.

Given a basis composed of a sequence of polynomials p_n(x) characterized by ladder (creation / annihilation, or raising / lowering) operators defined by R p_n(x) = p_(n+1)(x) and L p_n(x) = n p_(n-1)(x) with p_0(x)=1, giving the number operator # p_n(x) = RL p_n(x) = n p_n(x), the lower triangular padded Pascal matrix Pd (A097805) serves as a matrix representation of the operator exp(R^2*L) = exp(R#) =
  1) exp(x^2D) for the set x^n  and
  2) D^(-1) exp(t*x)D for the set x^n/n! (see A218234).

Square array a(m,n) with m,n=0,1,2,... read by off-diagonals.
a(m,n) gives the number of order-preserving functions f:{1,...,m}->{1,...,n}. Order-preserving means that xa(n,n)=A088218(n) is the size of the semigroup O_n of all order-preserving transformations of {1,...,n}.
Read as a triangle, this sequence may be obtained by augmenting Pascal's triangle by appending the column 1,0,0,0,... on the left.

The transposed of this lower triangular Riordan matrix of the associated type T provides the transition matrix between the monomial basis {x^n}, n >= 0, and the basis {y^n}, n >= 0, with y = x/(1-x): x^0 = 1 = y^0, x^n = Sum_{m >= n} Ttrans(n,m) y^m, for n >= 1, with Ttrans(n,m) = binomial(m-1,n-1).
Therefore, if a transformation with this Riordan matrix from a sequence {a} to the sequence {b} is given by b(n) = Sum_{m=0..n} T(n, m)*a(m), with T(n, m) = binomial(n-1, m-1), for n >= 1, then Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*x^n = Sum_{n >= 0} b(n)*y^n, with y = x/(1-x) and vice versa. This is a modified binomial transformation; the usual one belongs to the Pascal Riordan matrix A007318. (End)

E.g.f.: 1 + x*[e^((x+1)t)-1]/(x+1).
This padded Pascal matrix with the odd columns negated is NpdP = M*S = S^(-1)*M^(-1) = S^(-1)*M, where M(n,k) = (-1)^n A130595(n,k), the inverse Pascal matrix with the odd rows negated, S is the summation matrix A000012, the lower triangular matrix with all elements unity, and S^(-1) = A167374, a finite difference matrix. NpdP is self-inverse, i.e., (M*S)^2 = the identity matrix, and has the e.g.f. 1 - x*[e^((1-x)t)-1]/(1-x).
M = NpdP*S^(-1) follows from the well-known recursion property of the Pascal matrix, implying NpdP = M*S.
The self-inverse property of -NpdP is implied by the self-inverse relation of its embedded signed Pascal submatrix M (cf. A130595). Also see A118800 for another proof.
Let P^(-1) be A130595, the inverse Pascal matrix. Then T = A200139*P^(-1) and T^(-1) = padded P^(-1) = P*A097808*P^(-1). (End)

Number of subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain more even than odd numbers.
Note that A058622 counts the nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} that contain more odd than even numbers.
From Gus Wiseman, Jul 22 2021: (Start)
Also the number of integer compositions of n + 1 with alternating sum < 0, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. For example, the a(0) = 0 through a(6) = 6 compositions (empty columns indicated by dots) are:
  .  .  (12)  (13)  (14)    (15)
                    (23)    (24)
                    (131)   (141)

                    (1211)  (1212)
                            (1311)
Also the number of integer compositions of n + 1 with reverse-alternating sum < 0. For a bijection, keep the odd-length compositions and reverse the even-length ones.
Also the number of (n+1)-digit binary numbers with more 0's than 1's. For example, the a(0) = 0 through a(5) = 6 binary numbers are:
  .  .  100  1000  10000  100000
                   10001  100001

The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

			The initial terms and the corresponding compositions:
     1: (1)
     2: (2)
     4: (3)
     5: (2,1)
     7: (1,1,1)
     8: (4)
     9: (3,1)
    11: (2,1,1)
    14: (1,1,2)

    18: (3,2)
    19: (3,1,1)
    21: (2,2,1)
    22: (2,1,2)

The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.
The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.
Also numbers k such that the k-th composition in standard order has reverse-alternating sum != 0.

			The initial terms and the corresponding compositions:
     1: (1)        20: (2,3)          35: (4,1,1)
