Another name: Triangle of signless Stirling numbers of the first kind.
Triangle T(n,k), 0<=k<=n, read by rows given by [0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,...] DELTA [1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938.
A094645*A007318 as infinite lower triangular matrices.
Row sums are the factorial numbers. - Roger L. Bagula, Apr 18 2008
Exponential Riordan array [1/(1-x), log(1/(1-x))]. - Ralf Stephan, Feb 07 2014
Also the Bell transform of the factorial numbers (A000142). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428 and for cross-references A265606. - Peter Luschny, Dec 31 2015
This is the lower triagonal Sheffer matrix of the associated or Jabotinsky type |S1| = (1, -log(1-x)) (see the W. Lang link under A006232 for the notation and references). This implies the e.g.f.s given below. |S1| is the transition matrix from the monomial basis {x^n} to the rising factorial basis {risefac(x,n)}, n >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 21 2017
T(n, k), for n >= k >= 1, is also the total volume of the n-k dimensional cell (polytope) built from the n-k orthogonal vectors of pairwise different lengths chosen from the set {1, 2, ..., n-1}. See the elementary symmetric function formula for T(n, k) and an example below. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 28 2017
From Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 20 2017: (Start)
The compositional inverse w.r.t. x of y = y(t;x) = x*(1 - t(-log(1-x)/x)) = x + t*log(1-x) is x = x(t;y) = ED(y,t) := Sum_{d>=0} D(d,t)*y^(d+1)/(d+1)!, the e.g.f. of the o.g.f.s D(d,t) = Sum_{m>=0} T(d+m, m)*t^m of the diagonal sequences of the present triangle. See the P. Bala link for a proof (there d = n-1, n >= 1, is the label for the diagonals).
This inversion gives D(d,t) =  P(d, t)/(1-t)^(2*d+1), with the numerator polynomials P(d, t) =  Sum_{m=0..d} A288874(d, m)*t^m. See an example below. See also the P. Bala formula in A112007. (End)
For n > 0, T(n,k) is the number of permutations of the integers from 1 to n which have k visible digits when viewed from a specific end, in the sense that a higher value hides a lower one in a subsequent position. - Ian Duff, Jul 12 2019

Three term recurrence: 50 = T(5, 2) = 1*6 + (5-1)*11 = 50.
Recurrence from the Sheffer a-sequence [1, 1/2, 1/6, 0, ...]: 50 = T(5, 2) = (5/2)*(binomial(1, 1)*1*6 + binomial(2, 1)*(1/2)*11 + binomial(3, 1)*(1/6)*6 + 0) = 50. The vanishing z-sequence produces the k=0 column from T(0, 0) = 1. (End)
Elementary symmetric function T(4, 2) = sigma^{(3)}_2 = 1*2 + 1*3 + 2*3 = 11. Here the cells (polytopes) are 3 rectangles with total area 11. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, May 28 2017
O.g.f.s of diagonals: d=2 (third diagonal) [0, 6, 50, ...] has D(2,t) = P(2, t)/(1-t)^5, with P(2, t) = 2 + t, the n = 2 row of A288874. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jul 20 2017
Boas-Buck recurrence for column k = 2 and n = 5: T(5, 2) = (5!*2/3)*((3/8)*T(2,2)/2! + (5/12)*T(3,2)/3! + (1/2)*T(4,2)/4!) = (5!*2/3)*(3/16 + (5/12)*3/3! + (1/2)*11/4!) = 50. The beta sequence begins: {1/2, 5/12, 3/8, ...}. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 11 2017

Conjecture 1: For any primitive 2n-th root zeta of unity, the permanent of the 2n X 2n matrix [m(j,k)]_{j,k=1..2n} coincides with a(n) = ((2n-1)!!)^2, where m(j,k) is (1+zeta^(j-k))/(1-zeta^(j-k)) if j is not equal to k, and 1 otherwise.
The determinant of [m(j,k)]_{j,k=1..2n} was shown to be (-1)^(n-1)*((2n-1)!!)^2/(2n-1) by Han Wang and Zhi-Wei Sun in 2022.
Conjecture 2: Let p be an odd prime. Then the permanent of (p-1) X (p-1) matrix [f(j,k)]_{j,k=1..p-1} is congruent to a((p-1)/2) = ((p-2)!!)^2 modulo p^2, where f(j,k) is (j+k)/(j-k) if j is not equal to k, and f(j,k) = 1 otherwise. (End)

Number of permutations of [2n] with no increasing runs of odd length. Example: a(2) = 6 because we have 1234, 13/24, 14/23, 23/14, 24/13 and 34/12 (runs separated by slashes). - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 29 2004
This is also the number of ways of arranging the elements of n distinct pairs, assuming the order of elements is significant and the pairs are distinguishable. When the pairs are not distinguishable, see A001147 and A132101. For example, there are 6 ways of arranging 2 pairs [1,1], [2,2]: {[1122], [1212], [1221], [2211], [2121], [2112]}. - Ross Drewe, Mar 16 2008
n married couples are seated in a row so that every wife is to the left of her husband. The recurrence a(n+1) = a(n)*((2*n + 1) + binomial(2*n+1, 2)) conditions on whether the (n+1)st couple is seated together or separated by at least one other person. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jun 10 2009
a(n) is the number of functions f:[2n]->[n] such that the preimage of {y} has cardinality 2 for every y in [n]. Note that [k] denotes the set {1,2,...,k} and [0] denotes the empty set. - Dennis P. Walsh, Nov 17 2009
a(n) is also the number of n X 2n (0,1)-matrices with row sum 2 and column sum 1. - Shanzhen Gao, Feb 12 2010
Number of ways that 2n people of different heights can be arranged (for a photograph) in two rows of equal length so that every person in the front row is shorter than the person immediately behind them in the back row.
a(n) is the number of functions f:[n]->[n^2] such that, if floor((f(x))^.5) = floor((f(y))^.5), then x = y. For example, with n = 4, the range of f consists of one element from each of the four sets {1,2,3}, {4,5,6,7,8}, {9,10,11,12,13,14,15}, and {16}. Hence there are 1*3*5*7 = 105 ways to choose the range for f, and there are 4! ways to injectively map {1,2,3,4} to the four elements of the range. Thus there are 105*24 = 2520 such functions. Note also that a(n) = n!*(product of the first n odd numbers). - Dennis P. Walsh, Nov 28 2012
a(n) is also the 2*n th difference of n-powers of A000217 (triangular numbers). For example a(2) is the 4th difference of the squares of triangular numbers. - Enric Reverter i Bigas, Jun 24 2013
a(n) is the multinomial coefficient (2*n) over (2, 2, 2, ..., 2) where there are n 2's in the last parenthesis. It is therefore also the number of words of length 2n obtained with n letters, each letter appearing twice. - Robert FERREOL, Jan 14 2018
Number of ways to put socks and shoes on an n-legged animal, if a sock must be put on before a shoe. - Daniel Bishop, Jan 29 2018

			For n = 2, a(2) = 6 since there are 6 functions f:[4]->[2] with size 2 preimages for both {1} and {2}. In this case, there are binomial(4, 2) = 6 ways to choose the 2 elements of [4] f maps to {1} and the 2 elements of [4] that f maps to {2}. - _Dennis P. Walsh_, Nov 17 2009

a(n) = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (T(n) - T(k)), where T(n) = n*(n + 1)/2 is the n-th triangular number.

Thus we may view a(n) as a generalized factorial function associated with the triangular numbers A000217. Cf. A010050. The corresponding generalized binomial coefficients a(n)/(a(k)*a(n-k)) are triangle A086645. Also cf. A186432.
a(n) = n*(n + n-1)*(n + n-1 + n-2)*...*(n + n-1 + n-2 + ... + 1).

A set partition is topologically connected if the graph whose vertices are the blocks and whose edges are crossing pairs of blocks is connected, where two blocks cross each other if they are of the form {{...x...y...},{...z...t...}} for some x < z < y < t or z < x < t < y. Then a(n) is the number of topologically connected 2-uniform set partitions of {1...2n}. See my links for examples. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 23 2019
From Julien Courtiel, Oct 09 2024: (Start)
a(n) is the number of rooted bridgeless combinatorial maps with n edges (genus is not fixed). A map is bridgeless if it has no edge whose removal disconnects the graph. For example, for n=2, there are 4 bridgeless maps with 2 edges: 2 planar maps with 1 vertex (either two consecutive loops, or two nested loops), 1 toric map with 1 vertex, and 1 planar map with 2 vertices connected by a double edge.
Also, a(n) is the number of trees with n edges equipped with a binary tubing. A tube is a connected subgraph. A binary tubing of a tree is a nested set collection S of tubes such that 1. S contains the tube of all vertices 2. Every tube of S is either reduced to one vertex, or it can be can partitioned by 2 tubes of S.

This sequence gives the numerators of the Maclaurin series of the Lorentz factor (see Wikipedia link) of 1/sqrt(1-b^2) = dt/dtau where b=u/c is the velocity in terms of the speed of light c, u is the velocity as observed in the reference frame where time t is measured and tau is the proper time. - Stephen Crowley, Apr 03 2007
Truncations of rational expressions like those given by the numerator operator are artifacts in integer formulas and have many disadvantages. A pure integer formula follows. Let n$ denote the swinging factorial and sigma(n) = number of '1's in the base-2 representation of floor(n/2). Then a(n) = (2*n)$ / sigma(2*n) = A056040(2*n) / A060632(2*n+1). Simply said: this sequence is the odd part of the swinging factorial at even indices. - Peter Luschny, Aug 01 2009

By analytic continuation to the entire complex plane there exist regularized values for divergent sums:
a(n)/A060818(n) = (-2)^n*sqrt(Pi)/(Gamma(1/2 - n)*Gamma(1 + n)).
Sum_{k>=0} a(k)/A060818(k) = -i.
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*a(k)/A060818(k) = 1/sqrt(3).
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^(k+1)*a(k)/A060818(k) = -1/sqrt(3).
a(n)/A046161(n) = (-1)^n*sqrt(Pi)/(Gamma(1/2 - n)*Gamma(1 + n)).
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*a(k)/A046161(k) = 1/sqrt(2).
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^(k+1)*a(k)/A046161(k) = -1/sqrt(2). (End)
a(n) = numerator of (1/Pi)*Integral_{x=-oo..+oo} 1/(x^2+1)^n dx. (n=1 is the Cauchy distribution.) - Harry Garst, May 26 2017

Number of ways to arrange n books on consecutive bookshelves.
To derive a(n) = n!2^(n-1), we note that there are n! ways to arrange the books in a row. Then there are 2^(n-1) ways to place the arranged books on consecutive shelves since there are 2^(n-1) ordered partitions of n. Hence a(n) = n!2^(n-1).
Also, a(n) is the number of ways to stack n different alphabet blocks in contiguous stacks.
Furthermore, a(n) is the number of labeled, rooted forests that have (i) each root labeled larger than any nonroot, (ii) each root having exactly one child node, (iii) n non-root nodes, and (iv) each node in the forest with at most one child node.
Example: a(3)=24 since there are 24 arrangements of books b1, b2, and b3 on consecutive shelves, namely, |b1 b2 b3|, |b1 b3 b2|, |b2 b1 b3|, |b2 b3 b1|, |b3 b1 b2|, |b3 b2 b1|, |b1 b2||b3|, |b2 b1| |b3|, |b1 b3||b2|, |b3 b1||b2|, |b2 b3||b1|, |b3 b2||b1|, |b1||b2 b3|,|b1||b3 b2|, |b2||b1 b3|, |b2||b3 b1|, |b3||b1 b2|, |b3||b2 b1|, |b1||b2||b3|, |b1||b3||b2|, |b2||b1||b3|, |b2||b3||b1|, |b3||b1||b2|, and |b3||b2||b1|.

For n > 3, a(n) is the order of the Coxeter group (also called Weyl group) of type D_n. - Tom Edgar, Nov 05 2013

			For the shoe lacing: with the notation introduced in A078602 the a(3-1) = 4 "straight" lacings for 3 pairs of eyelets are: 125346, 125436, 134526, 143526. Their mirror images 134256, 143256, 152346, 152436 are not counted.
a(3) = 24 because the 24 rotations of a three-dimensional cube fall into four distinct classes:
(i) the identity, which leaves everything fixed;
(ii) 9 rotations which leave the centers of two faces fixed, comprising rotations of 90, 180 and 270 degrees for each of 3 pairs of faces;
(iii) 6 rotations which leave the centers of two edges fixed, comprising rotations of 180 degrees for each of 6 pairs of edges;
(iv) 8 rotations which leave two vertices fixed, comprising rotations of 120 and 240 degrees for each of 4 pairs of vertices. For an n-cube, rotations can be more complex. For example, in 4 dimensions a rotation can either act in a single plane, such as the x-y plane, while leaving any vectors orthogonal to that plane unchanged, or it can act in two orthogonal planes, performing rotations in both and leaving no vectors fixed. In higher dimensions, there will be room for more planes and more choices as to the number of planes in which a given rotation acts.

Related to partially ordered sets. - Detlef Pauly (dettodet(AT)yahoo.de), Sep 25 2003
The number of partial permutation matrices P in GL_n with P^2=0. Alternatively, the number of orbits of the Borel group of upper triangular matrices acting by conjugation on the set of matrices M in GL_n with M^2=0. - Brian Rothbach (rothbach(AT)math.berkeley.edu), Apr 16 2004
Number of ways to use the elements of {1..n} once each to form a collection of sequences, each having length 1 or 2. - Bob Proctor, Apr 18 2005
Hankel transform is A108400. - Paul Barry, Feb 11 2008
This is also the number of subsets of equivalent ways to arrange the elements of n pairs, when equivalence is defined under the joint operation of (optional) reversal of elements combined with permutation of the labels and the subset maps to itself. - Ross Drewe, Mar 16 2008
Equals inverse binomial transform of A000898. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 06 2008
a(n) is also the moment of order n for the measure of density exp(-(x-1)^2/4)/(2*sqrt(Pi)) over the interval -oo..oo. - Groux Roland, Mar 26 2011
The n-th term gives the number of fixed-point-free involutions in S_n^B, the group of permutations on the set {-n,...,-1,1,2,...,n}. - Matt Watson, Jul 26 2012
From Peter Bala, Dec 03 2017: (Start)
a(n+k) == a(n) (mod k) for all n and k. Hence for each k, the sequence a(n) taken modulo k is a periodic sequence and the exact period divides k. Cf. A115329.
More generally, the same divisibility property holds for any sequence with an e.g.f. of the form F(x)*exp(x*G(x)), where F(x) and G(x) are power series with integer coefficients and G(0) = 1. See the Bala link for a proof. (End)
