T(n, k) = ^2P_n^k in the notation of the given reference with T(0, 0) := 1. The monic row polynomials s(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..n} T(n, k)*x^k which are s(n, x) = Product_{j=0..n-1} (x-(2+j)), n >= 1 and s(0, x)=1 satisfy s(n, x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*s(k,x)*S1(n-k, y), with the Stirling1 polynomials S1(n, x) = Sum_{m=1..n} (A008275(n, m)*x^m) and S1(0, x)=1.
In the umbral calculus (see the S. Roman reference given in A048854) the s(n, x) polynomials are called Sheffer polynomials for (exp(2*t), exp(t)-1). This translates to the usual exponential Riordan (Sheffer) notation (1/(1+x)^2, log(1+x)).

Unsigned, reversed rows (cf. A145324, A136124) are the dimensions of the cohomology of a complex manifold with a symmetric group (S_n) action. See p. 17 of the Hyde and Lagarias link. See also the Murri link for an interpretation as the Betti numbers of the moduli space M(0,n) of smooth Riemann surfaces. - Tom Copeland, Dec 09 2016
The row polynomials s(n, x) = (-1)^n*risingfactorial(2 - x, n) are related to the column sequences of the unsigned Abel triangle A137452(n, k), for k >= 2. See the formula there. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 21 2022

Essentially the same as A136124 but with column numbers differing by one. See A049444 for a signed version of this array. The unsigned 2-Stirling numbers of the first kind count the permutations of the set {1,2,...,n} into k disjoint cycles, with the restriction that the elements 1 and 2 belong to distinct cycles. This is the particular case r = 2 of the unsigned r-Stirling numbers of the first kind, which count the permutations of the set {1,2,...,n} into k disjoint cycles, with the restriction that the numbers 1, 2, ..., r belong to distinct cycles. The case r = 1 gives the usual unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind, abs(A008275); for other cases see A143492 (r = 3) and A143493 (r = 4). The corresponding 2-Stirling numbers of the second kind can be found in A143494.
In general, the lower unitriangular array of unsigned r-Stirling numbers of the first kind (with suitable offsets in the row and column indexing) equals the matrix product St1 * P^(r-1), where St1 is the array of unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind, abs(A008275) and P is Pascal's triangle, A007318. The theory of r-Stirling numbers of both kinds is developed in [Broder]. For details of the related r-Lah numbers see A143497.
This sequence also represents the number of permutations in the alternating group An of length k, where the length is taken with respect to the generators set {(12)(ij)}. For a bijective proof of the relation between these numbers and the 2-Stirling numbers of the first kind see the Rotbart link. - Aviv Rotbart, May 05 2011

With offset n=0 and k=0, this is the Sheffer triangle (1/(1-x)^2,-log(1-x)) (in the umbral notation of S. Roman's book this would be called Sheffer for (exp(-2*t),1-exp(-t))). See the e.g.f. given below. Compare also with the e.g.f. for the signed version A049444. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 10 2011

A(n,k) = number of permutations in An of length k, with respect to the generators set {(12)(ij)}. For example, A(2,0)=1 (only the identity is there), for A4, the generators are {(12)(13),(12)(14),(12,23),(12)(24),(12)(34)}, thus we have A(4,1)=5 (exactly 5 generators), the permutations of length 2 are:
   (12)(13)(12)(13) = (312)
   (12)(13)(12)(14) = (41)(23)
   (12)(13)(12)(24) = (432)(1)
   (12)(13)(12)(34) = (342)(1)
   (12)(23)(12)(24) = (13)(24)
   (12)(14)(12)(14) = (412)(3)
Namely, A(4,2)=6. Together with the identity [=(12)(12), of length 0. therefore A(4,0)=1] we have 12 permutations, comprising all A4 (4!/2=12). (End)

This array is the matrix product St1 * P, where St1 denotes the lower triangular array of unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind, abs(A008275) and P denotes Pascal's triangle, A007318. The row sums are n!/2 ( A001710 ). The alternating row sums are (n-2)!.
If we define f(n,i,a) = Sum_{k=0..n-i} binomial(n,k)*Stirling1(n-k,i)*Product_{j=0..k-1} (-a - j), then T(n-1,i) = |f(n,i,2)|, for n=1,2,...; i=0..n. - Milan Janjic, Dec 21 2008

The reflection length of a permutation is the minimum number of transpositions needed to express the permutation.
May also be called the "weight" of the symmetric group S_n.
a(n) is the number of n+1-permutations that have at least 3 cycles. a(n) = Sum_{k=3..n+1} A132393(n+1,k). Cf. A001563 (n-permutations with at least 2 cycles). - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 01 2013
The number of covering relations in the middle order on S_n. - Bridget Tenner, Jul 11 2025

			a(3)=7 since the permutations are 1, (12), (13), (23), (12)(13) and (13)(12). The sum of reflection lengths of all elements in S_3 is 0+1+1+1+2+2=7.
The terms satisfy the series: x/(1-x) = x/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)) + 7*x^2/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)*(1+4*x)) + 46*x^3/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)*(1+4*x)*(1+5*x)) + 326*x^4/((1+x)*(1+2*x)*(1+3*x)*(1+4*x)*(1+5*x)*(1+6*x)) + ... - _Paul D. Hanna_, Aug 28 2012

Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 12 2005

The k-th diagonal of |A008275| appears as the k-th column in |A008276| with k-1 leading zeros.
The recurrence, given below, is derived from (d/dx)g1(k,x) - g1(k,x)= x*(d/dx)g1(k-1,x) + g1(k-1,x), k >= 1, with input g(-1,x):=0 and initial condition g1(k,0)=1, k >= 0. This differential recurrence for the e.g.f. g1(k,x) follows from the one for unsigned Stirling1 numbers.
The column sequences start with A000142 (factorials), A001705, A112487- A112491, for m=0,...,5.
The main diagonal gives (2*k-1)!! = A001147(k), k >= 1.
This computation was inspired by the Bender article (see links), where the Stirling polynomials are discussed.
The e.g.f. for the k-th diagonal, k >= 1, of the unsigned Stirling1 triangle |A008275| with k-1 leading zeros is g1(k-1,x) = exp(x)*Sum_{m=0..k-1} a(k,m)*(x^(k-1+m))/(k-1+m)!.
a(k,n) = number of lists with entries from [n] such that (i) each element of [n] occurs at least once and at most twice, (ii) for each i that occurs twice, all entries between the two occurrences of i are > i, and (iii) exactly k elements of [n] occur twice. Example: a(1,2)=5 counts 112, 121, 122, 211, 221, and a(2,2)=3 counts 1122,1221,2211. - David Callan, Nov 21 2011

The higher order exponential integrals E(x,m,n) are defined in A163931. The asymptotic expansion of the E(x,m=2,n) ~ (exp(-x)/x^2)*(1 - (1+2*n)/x + (2+6*n+3*n^2)/x^2 - (6+22*n+18*n^2+ 4*n^3)/x^3 + ... ) is discussed in A028421. The formula for the asymptotic expansion leads for n = 1, 2, 3, .., to the left hand columns of the triangle given above.
The recurrence relations of the right hand columns of this triangle lead to Pascal's triangle A007318, their a(n) formulas lead to Wiggen's triangle A028421 and their o.g.f.s lead to Wood's polynomials A126671; cf. A080663, A165676, A165677, A165678 and A165679.
The row sums of this triangle lead to A093344. Surprisingly the e.g.f. of the row sums Egf(x) = (exp(1)*Ei(1,1-x) - exp(1)*Ei(1,1))/(1-x) leads to the exponential integrals in view of the fact that E(x,m=1,n=1) = Ei(n=1,x). We point out that exp(1)*Ei(1,1) = A073003.
The Maple programs generate the coefficients of the triangle given above. The first one makes use of a relation between the triangle coefficients, see the formulas, and the second one makes use of the asymptotic expansions of the E(x,m=2,n).
Amarnath Murthy discovered triangle A093905 which is the reversal of our triangle.
A165675 is an extended version of this triangle. Its reversal is A105954.
Triangle A094587 is generated by the asymptotic expansions of E(x,m=1,n).

Previous name: Extended triangle related to the asymptotic expansions of the E(x, m = 2, n).
For the definition of the hyperharmonic numbers see the formula section.
This triangle is the same as triangle A165674 except for the extra left-hand column T(n, 0) = n!. The T(n) formulas for the right-hand columns generate the coefficients of this extra left-hand column.
Leroy Quet discovered triangle A105954 which is the reversal of our triangle.
In square format, row k gives the (n-1)-st elementary symmetric function of {k, k+1, k+2,..., k+n}, as in the Mathematica section. - Clark Kimberling, Dec 29 2011

			Triangle T(n, k) begins:

  [7] 5040, 13068, 8028, 2754, 638, 107, 13, 1;
Seen as an array (the triangle arises when read by descending antidiagonals):

The hyperharmonic numbers are H(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k} H(n - 1, j), with base condition H(0, k) = 1/(k + 1).
T(n, k) = (n - k + 1)*T(n - 1, k) + T(n - 1, k - 1), 1 <= k <= n-1, with T(n, 0) = n! and T(n, n) = 1.
From Peter Luschny, Jul 03 2022: (Start)
The rectangular array is given by:
A(n, k) = (k + 1)!*H(n, k).
A(n, k) = (k + 1)*((n + k)! / n!)*hypergeom([-k, 1, 1], [2, n + 1], 1). (End)
From Werner Schulte, Feb 26 2025: (Start)
T(n, k) = n * T(n-1, k) + (n-1)! / (k-1)! for 0 < k < n.
T(n, k) = (Sum_{i=k..n} 1/i) * n! / (k-1)! for 0 < k <= n.
Matrix inverse M = T^(-1) is given by: M(n, n) = 1, M(n, n-1) = 1 - 2 * n for n > 0, M(n, n-2) = (n-1)^2 for n > 1, and M(i, j) = 0 otherwise. (End)
