a(n-1), n >= 1, enumerates increasing plane (aka ordered) trees with n vertices (one of them a root labeled 1) where each vertex with outdegree r >= 0 comes in r+1 types (like an (r+1)-ary vertex). See the increasing tree comments under A004747. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 12 2007
An example for the case of 3 vertices is shown below. For the enumeration of non-plane trees of this type see A029768. - Peter Bala, Aug 30 2011
a(n) is the product of the positive integers k <= 3*n that have k modulo 3 = 2. - Peter Luschny, Jun 23 2011
See A094638 for connections to differential operators. - Tom Copeland, Sep 20 2011
Partial products of A016789. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 20 2013
The Mathar conjecture is true. Generally from the factorial form, the last term is the "extra" product beyond the prior term, from k=n-1 and 3k+2 evaluates to 3*(n-1)+2 = 3n-1, yielding a(n) = a(n-1)*(3n-1) (eqn1). Similarly, a(n) = a(n-2)*(3n-1)*(3(n-2)+2) = a(n-2)*(3n-1)*(3n-4) (eqn2) and a(n) = a(n-3)*(3n-1)*(3n-4)*(3*(n-2)+2) = a(n-3)*(3n-1)*(3n-4)*(3n-7) (eqn3). We equate (eqn2) and (eqn3) to get a(n-2)*(3n-1)*(3n-4) = a(n-3)*(3n-1)*(3n-4)*(3n-7) or a(n-2)+(7-3n)*a(n-3) = 0 (eqn4). From (eqn1) we have a(n)+(1-3n)*a(n-1) = 0 (eqn5). Combining (eqn4) and (eqn5) yields a(n)+(1-3n)*a(n-1)+a(n-2)+(7-3n)*a(n-3) = 0. - Bill McEachen, Jan 01 2016
a(n-1), n>=1, is the dimension of the n-th component of the operad encoding the multilinearization of the following identity in nonassociative algebras: s*(a,a,b)-(s+t)*(a,b,a)+t*(b,a,a)=0, for any given pair of scalars (s,t). Here (a,b,c) is the associator (ab)c-a(bc). This is proved in the referenced article on associator dependent algebras by Bremner and me. - Vladimir Dotsenko, Mar 22 2022

Examples

			a(2) = 10 from the described trees with 3 vertices: there are three trees with a root vertex (label 1) with outdegree r=2 (like the three 3-stars each with one different ray missing) and the four trees with a root (r=1 and label 1) a vertex with (r=1) and a leaf (r=0). Assigning labels 2 and 3 yields 2*3+4=10 such trees.
a(2) = 10. The 10 possible plane increasing trees on 3 vertices, where vertices of outdegree 1 come in 2 colors (denoted a or b) and vertices of outdegree 2 come in 3 colors (a, b or c), are:

Let T = A094638 and c(t) = column vector(1, t, t^2, t^3, t^4, t^5,...), then A008544 = unsigned [ T * c(-3) ] and the list partition transform A133314 of [1,T * c(-3)] gives [1,T * c(3)] with all odd terms negated, which equals a signed version of A007559; i.e., LPT[(1,signed A008544)] = signed A007559. Also LPT[A007559] = (1,-A008544) and e.g.f. [1,T * c(t)] = (1-x*t)^(-1/t) for t = 3 or -3. Analogous results hold for the double factorial, quadruple factorial and so on. - Tom Copeland, Dec 22 2007

Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows given by [0,1,0,2,0,3,0,4,0,5,0,6,0,7,0,...] DELTA [1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938; another version of A019538.
See also A019538: version with n > 0 and k > 0. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 03 2008
From Peter Bala, Jul 21 2014: (Start)
T(n,k) gives the number of (k-1)-dimensional faces in the interior of the first barycentric subdivision of the standard (n-1)-dimensional simplex. For example, the barycentric subdivision of the 1-simplex is o--o--o, with 1 interior vertex and 2 interior edges, giving T(2,1) = 1 and T(2,2) = 2.
This triangle is used when calculating the face vectors of the barycentric subdivision of a simplicial complex. Let S be an n-dimensional simplicial complex and write f_k for the number of k-dimensional faces of S, with the usual convention that f_(-1) = 1, so that F := (f_(-1), f_0, f_1,...,f_n) is the f-vector of S. If M(n) denotes the square matrix formed from the first n+1 rows and n+1 columns of the present triangle, then the vector F*M(n) is the f-vector of the first barycentric subdivision of the simplicial complex S (Brenti and Welker, Lemma 2.1). For example, the rows of Pascal's triangle A007318 (but with row and column indexing starting at -1) are the f-vectors for the standard n-simplexes. It follows that A007318*A131689, which equals A028246, is the array of f-vectors of the first barycentric subdivision of standard n-simplexes. (End)
This triangle T(n, k) appears in the o.g.f. G(n, x) = Sum_{m>=0} S(n, m)*x^m with S(n, m) = Sum_{j=0..m} j^n for n >= 1 as G(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} (x^k/(1 - x)^(k+2))*T(n, k). See also the Eulerian triangle A008292 with a Mar 31 2017 comment for a rewritten form. For the e.g.f. see A028246 with a Mar 13 2017 comment. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 31 2017
T(n,k) = the number of alignments of length k of n strings each of length 1. See Slowinski. An example is given below. Cf. A122193 (alignments of strings of length 2) and A299041 (alignments of strings of length 3). - Peter Bala, Feb 04 2018
The row polynomials R(n,x) are the Fubini polynomials. - Emanuele Munarini, Dec 05 2020
From Gus Wiseman, Feb 18 2022: (Start)
Also the number of patterns of length n with k distinct parts (or with maximum part k), where we define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. For example, row n = 3 counts the following patterns:
(1,1,1) (1,2,2) (1,2,3)
(2,1,2) (1,3,2)
(2,2,1) (2,1,3)
(1,1,2) (2,3,1)
(1,2,1) (3,1,2)
(2,1,1) (3,2,1)
(End)
Regard A048994 as a lower-triangular matrix and divide each term A048994(n,k) by n!, then this is the matrix inverse. Because Sum_{k=0..n} (A048994(n,k) * x^n / n!) = A007318(x,n), Sum_{k=0..n} (A131689(n,k) * A007318(x,k)) = x^n. - Natalia L. Skirrow, Mar 23 2023

T is the umbral extension of n!*Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,x,-1],0] = (1-D)^(-1) x^n = (-1)^n * n! * Lag(n,x,-1-n) = Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(n,j) * j! * x^(n-j) = Sum_{j=0..n} (n!/j!) x^j. The inverse operator is A132013 with generalizations discussed in A132014.
b = T*a can be characterized several ways in terms of a(n) and b(n) or their o.g.f.'s A(x) and B(x).
1) b(n) = n! Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,a(.),-1],0], umbrally,
2) b(n) = (-1)^n n! Lag(n,a(.),-1-n)
3) b(n) = Sum_{j=0..n} (n!/j!) a(j)
4) B(x) = (1-xDx)^(-1) A(x), formally
5) B(x) = Sum_{j=0,1,...} (xDx)^j A(x)
6) B(x) = Sum_{j=0,1,...} x^j * D^j * x^j A(x)
7) B(x) = Sum_{j=0,1,...} j! * x^j * L(j,-:xD:,0) A(x) where Lag(n,x,m) are the Laguerre polynomials of order m, D the derivative w.r.t. x and (:xD:)^j = x^j * D^j. Truncating the operator series at the j = n term gives an o.g.f. for b(0) through b(n).
c = (0!,1!,2!,3!,4!,...) is the sequence associated to T under the list partition transform and the associated operations described in A133314 so T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*c(n-k). The reciprocal sequence is d = (1,-1,0,0,0,...). (End)
From Peter Bala, Jul 10 2008: (Start)
This array is the particular case P(1,1) of the generalized Pascal triangle P(a,b), a lower unit triangular matrix, shown below:
n\k|0.....................1...............2.......3......4
----------------------------------------------------------
0..|1.....................................................
1..|a....................1................................
2..|a(a+b)...............2a..............1................
3..|a(a+b)(a+2b).........3a(a+b).........3a........1......
4..|a(a+b)(a+2b)(a+3b)...4a(a+b)(a+2b)...6a(a+b)...4a....1
...
The entries A(n,k) of this array satisfy the recursion A(n,k) = (a+b*(n-k-1))*A(n-1,k) + A(n-1,k-1), which reduces to the Pascal formula when a = 1, b = 0.
Various cases are recorded in the database, including: P(1,0) = Pascal's triangle A007318, P(2,0) = A038207, P(3,0) = A027465, P(2,1) = A132159, P(1,3) = A136215 and P(2,3) = A136216.
When b <> 0 the array P(a,b) has e.g.f. exp(x*y)/(1-b*y)^(a/b) = 1 + (a+x)*y + (a*(a+b)+2a*x+x^2)*y^2/2! + (a*(a+b)*(a+2b) + 3a*(a+b)*x + 3a*x^2+x^3)*y^3/3! + ...; the array P(a,0) has e.g.f. exp((x+a)*y).
We have the matrix identities P(a,b)*P(a',b) = P(a+a',b); P(a,b)^-1 = P(-a,b).
An analog of the binomial expansion for the row entries of P(a,b) has been proved by [Echi]. Introduce a (generally noncommutative and nonassociative) product ** on the ring of polynomials in two variables by defining F(x,y)**G(x,y) = F(x,y)G(x,y) + by^2*d/dy(G(x,y)).
Define the iterated product F^(n)(x,y) of a polynomial F(x,y) by setting F^(1) = F(x,y) and F^(n)(x,y) = F(x,y)**F^(n-1)(x,y) for n >= 2. Then (x+a*y)^(n) = x^n + C(n,1)*a*x^(n-1)*y + C(n,2)*a*(a+b)*x^(n-2)*y^2 + ... + C(n,n)*a*(a+b)*(a+2b)*...*(a+(n-1)b)*y^n. (End)

Formula

T(n, k) = n!/k! if n >= k >= 0, otherwise 0.
T(n, k) = Sum_{i=k..n} |S1(n+1, i+1)*S2(i, k)| * (-1)^i, with S1, S2 the Stirling numbers.
T(n,k) = (n-k)*T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1). E.g.f.: exp(x*y)/(1-y) = 1 + (1+x)*y + (2+2*x+x^2)*y^2/2! + (6+6*x+3*x^2+x^3)*y^3/3!+ ... . - Peter Bala, Jul 10 2008

The o.g.f. of right hand column k is Gf(z;k) = (k-1)!/(1-z)^k, k => 1.
The recurrence relations of the right hand columns lead to Pascal's triangle A007318. (End)
Let f(x) = (1/x)*exp(-x). The n-th row polynomial is R(n,x) = (-x)^n/f(x)*(d/dx)^n(f(x)), and satisfies the recurrence equation R(n+1,x) = (x+n+1)*R(n,x)-x*R'(n,x). Cf. A132159. - Peter Bala, Oct 28 2011
A padded shifted version of this lower triangular matrix with zeros in the first column and row except for a one in the diagonal position is given by integral(t=0 to t=infinity) exp[-t(I-P)] = 1/(I-P) = I + P^2 + P^3 + ... where P is the infinitesimal generator matrix A218234 and I the identity matrix. The non-padded version is given by P replaced by A132440. - Tom Copeland, Oct 25 2012

The row polynomials R(n,x) form a Sheffer sequence of polynomials with associated delta operator equal to d/dx. Thus d/dx(R(n,x)) = n*R(n-1,x). The Sheffer identity is R(n,x + y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*y^(n-k)*R(k,x).
Let P(n,x) = Product_{k=0..n-1} (x + k) denote the rising factorial polynomial sequence with the convention that P(0,x) = 1. Then this is triangle of connection constants when expressing the basis polynomials P(n,x + 1) in terms of the basis P(n,x). For example, row 3 is (6, 6, 3, 1) so P(3,x + 1) = (x + 1)*(x + 2)*(x + 3) = 6 + 6*x + 3*x*(x + 1) + x*(x + 1)*(x + 2). (End)

T-I = M = -A021009*A132440*A021009 with e.g.f. y*exp(x*y)/(1-y). Cf. A132440. Dividing the n-th row of M by n generates the (n-1)th row of T.
T = 1/(I - A132440) = {2*I - exp[(A238385-I)]}^(-1) = unsigned exp[(I-A238385)] = exp[A000670(.)*(A238385-I)] = , umbrally, where I = identity matrix.
The e.g.f. is exp(x*y)/(1-y), so the row polynomials form an Appell sequence with lowering operator d/dx and raising operator x + 1/(1-D).
With L(n,m,x)= Laguerre polynomials of order m, the row polynomials are (-1)^n*n!*L(n,-1-n,x) = (-1)^n*(-1!/(-1-n)!)*K(-n,-1-n+1,x) = n!* K(-n,-n,x) where K is Kummer's confluent hypergeometric function (as a limit of n+s as s tends to zero).
Operationally, (-1)^n*n!*L(n,-1-n,-:xD:) = (-1)^n*x^(n+1)*:Dx:^n*x^(-1-n) = (-1)^n*x*:xD:^n*x^(-1) = (-1)^n*n!*binomial(xD-1,n) = n!*K(-n,-n,-:xD:) where :AB:^n = A^n*B^n for any two operators. Cf. A235706 and A132159.
The n-th row of signed M has the coefficients of d[(-:xD:)^n]/d(:Dx:)= f[d/d(-:xD:)](-:xD:)^n with f(y)=y/(y-1), :Dx:^n= n!L(n,0,-:xD:), and (-:xD:)^n = n!L(n,0,:Dx:). M has the coefficients of [D/(1-D)]x^n. (End)

Sum_{n>=0} P_n(b1,b2,..,bn;t) x^n/n! = e^(P.(..;t) x) = e^(xt) / (1-b.x) = (1 + b1 x + b2 x^2 + b3 x^3 + ...) e^(xt) = 1 + (b1 + t) x + (2 b2 + 2 b1 t + t^2) x^2/2! + (6 b3 + 6 b2 t + 3 b1 t^2 + t^3) x^3/3! + ... , with lowering operator L = d/dt, i.e., L P_n(..;t) = n * P_(n-1)(..;t), and raising operator R = t + d[log(1 + b1 D + b2 D^2 + ...)]/dD = t - Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b1,..,bn) D^(n-1), i.e., R P_n(..,;t) = P_(n+1)(..;t), where D = d/dt and F(n,b1,..,bn) are the Faber polynomials of A263916.
Also P_n(b1,..,bn;t) = CIP_n(t-F(1,b1),-F(2,b1,b2),..,-F(n,b1,..,bn)), the cycle index polynomials A036039.
(End)
The raising operator R = x + 1/(1-D) = x + 1 + D + D^2 + ... in matrix form acting on an o.g.f. (formal power series) is the transpose of the production matrix M below. The linear term x is the diagonal of ones after transposition. The other transposed diagonals come from D^m x^n = n! / (n-m)! x^(n-m). Then P(n,x) = (1,x,x^2,..) M^n (1,0,0,..)^T is a matrix representation of R P(n-1,x) = P(n,x). - Tom Copeland, Aug 17 2016
The row polynomials have e.g.f. e^(xt)/(1-t) = exp(t*q.(x)), umbrally. With p_n(x) the row polynomials of A132013, q_n(x) = v_n(p.(u.(x))), umbrally, where u_n(x) = (-1)^n v_n(-x) = (-1)^n Lah_n(x), the Lah polynomials with e.g.f. exp[x*t/(t-1)]. This has the matrix form [T] = [q] = [v]*[p]*[u]. Conversely, p_n(x) = u_n (q.(v.(x))). - Tom Copeland, Nov 10 2016
From the Appell sequence formalism, 1/(1-b.D) t^n = P_n(b1,b2,..,bn;t), the generalized row polynomials noted in the Nov 18 2015 formulas, consistent with the 2007 comments. - Tom Copeland, Nov 22 2016

G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} (n*x)^(n-1)/(1 + (n - t)*x)^n = 1 + (1 + t)*x + (2 + 2*t + t^2)*x^2 + ....
n-th row polynomial R(n,t) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n,k)*(x + k)^k*(x + k - t)^(n-k) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n,k)*(x + k)^(n-k)*(x + k + t)^k, for arbitrary x. The particular case of the latter sum when x = 0 and t = 1 is identity 10.35 in Gould, Vol.4. (End)
Rodrigues-type formula for the row polynomials: R(n, x) = -exp(x)*Int(exp(-x)* x^n, x), for n >= 0. Recurrence: R(n, x) = x^n + n*R(n-1, x), for n >= 1, and R(0, x) = 1. d/dx(R(n, x)) = R(n, x) - x^n, for n >= 0 (compare with the formula from Peter Bala, Aug 28 2013). - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 23 2019

a(n-1), n >= 1, enumerates increasing plane (a.k.a. ordered) trees with n vertices (one of them a root labeled 1) with one version of a vertex with out-degree r = 0 (a leaf or a root) and each vertex with out-degree r >= 1 comes in binomial(r + 2, 2) types (like a binomial(r + 2, 2)-ary vertex). See the increasing tree comments under A001498. For example, a(1) = 3 from the three trees with n = 2 vertices (a root (out-degree r = 1, label 1) and a leaf (r = 0), label 2). There are three such trees because of the three types of out-degree r = 1 vertices. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 05 2007 [corrected by Karen A. Yeats, Jun 17 2013]

T(n,k) is the number of partially ordered sets (posets) on n elements that consist entirely of k chains. For example, T(4, 3)=12 since there are exactly 12 posets on {a,b,c,d} that consist entirely of 3 chains. Letting ab denote a<=b and using a slash "/" to separate chains, the 12 posets can be given by a/b/cd, a/b/dc, a/c/bd, a/c/db, a/d/bc, a/d/cb, b/c/ad, b/c/da, b/d/ac, b/d/ca, c/d/ab and c/d/ba, where the listing of the chains is arbitrary (e.g., a/b/cd = a/cd/b =...cd/b/a). - Dennis P.

Three combinatorial interpretations: T(n,k) is (1) the number of ways to split [n] = {1,...,n} into a collection of k nonempty lists ("partitions into sets of lists"), (2) the number of ways to split [n] into an ordered collection of n+1-k nonempty sets that are noncrossing ("partitions into lists of noncrossing sets"), (3) the number of Dyck n-paths with n+1-k peaks labeled 1,2,...,n+1-k in some order. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008

Formula

T(n,k) = Sum_{m=n..k} |S1(n,m)|*S2(m,k), k>=n>=1, with Stirling triangles S2(n,m):=A048993 and S1(n,m):=A048994.
T(n,k) = C(n,k)*(n-1)!/(k-1)!.
Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k) = A000262(n).
n*Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k) = A103194(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k)*k^2.
E.g.f. column k: (x^(k-1)/(1-x)^(k+1))/(k-1)!, k>=1.
Recurrence from Sheffer (here Jabotinsky) a-sequence [1,1,0,...] (see the W. Lang link under A006232): T(n,k)=(n/k)*T(n-1,m-1) + n*T(n-1,m). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 29 2007
The e.g.f. is, umbrally, exp[(.)!* L(.,-t,1)*x] = exp[t*x/(1-x)]/(1-x)^2 where L(n,t,1) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n+1,k+1)*(-t)^k = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n+1,k+1)* (-t)^k / k! is the associated Laguerre polynomial of order 1. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2007
For this Lah triangle, the n-th row polynomial is given umbrally by
n! C(B.(x)+1+n,n) = (-1)^n C(-B.(x)-2,n), where C(x,n)=x!/(n!(x-n)!),
the binomial coefficient, and B_n(x)= exp(-x)(xd/dx)^n exp(x), the n-th Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomial (cf. A008277). E.g.,
2! C(-B.(-x)-2,2) = (-B.(x)-2)(-B.(x)-3) = B_2(x) + 5*B_1(x) + 6 = 6 + 6x + x^2.
n! C(B.(x)+1+n,n) = n! e^(-x) Sum_{j>=0} C(j+1+n,n)x^j/j! is a corresponding Dobinski relation. See the Copeland link for the relation to inverse Mellin transform. - Tom Copeland, Nov 21 2011
The row polynomials are given by D^n(exp(x*t)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator (1+x)^2*d/dx. Cf. A008277 (D = (1+x)*d/dx), A035342 (D = (1+x)^3*d/dx), A035469 (D = (1+x)^4*d/dx) and A049029 (D = (1+x)^5*d/dx). - Peter Bala, Nov 25 2011
T(n,k) = Sum_{i=k..n} A130534(n-1,i-1)*A008277(i,k). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 18 2013
Let E(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} x^n/(n!*(n+1)!). Then a generating function is exp(t)*E(x*t) = 1 + (2 + x)*t + (6 + 6*x + x^2)*t^2/(2!*3!) + (24 + 36*x + 12*x^2 + x^3)*t^3/(3!*4!) + ... . - Peter Bala, Aug 15 2013
P_n(x) = L_n(1+x) = n!*Lag_n(-(1+x);1), where P_n(x) are the row polynomials of A059110; L_n(x), the Lah polynomials of A105278; and Lag_n(x;1), the Laguerre polynomials of order 1. These relations follow from the relation between the iterated operator (x^2 D)^n and ((1+x)^2 D)^n with D = d/dx. - Tom Copeland, Jul 23 2018

Also the associated Sheffer triangle to Sheffer triangle A111595.
Coefficients of Laguerre polynomials (-1)^n * n! * L(n,-1,x), which equals (-1)^n * Lag(n,x,-1) below. Lag(n,Lag(.,x,-1),-1) = x^n evaluated umbrally, i.e., with (Lag(.,x,-1))^k = Lag(k,x,-1). - Tom Copeland, Apr 26 2014
Without row n=0 and column m=0 this is, up to signs, the Lah triangle A008297.
The unsigned column sequences are (with leading zeros): A000142, A001286, A001754, A001755, A001777, A001778, A111597-A111600 for m=1..10.
The row polynomials p(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m, together with the row polynomials s(n,x) of A111595 satisfy the exponential (or binomial) convolution identity s(n,x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*s(k,x)*p(n-k,y), n>=0.
Exponential Riordan array [1,x/(1+x)]. Inverse of the exponential Riordan array [1,x/(1-x)], which is the unsigned version of A111596. - Paul Barry, Apr 12 2007
For the unsigned subtriangle without column number m=0 and row number n=0, see A105278.
Unsigned triangle also matrix product |S1|*S2 of Stirling number matrices.
The unsigned row polynomials are Lag(n,-x,-1), the associated Laguerre polynomials of order -1 with negated argument. See Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, Abramowitz and Stegun and Rota (Finite Operator Calculus) for extensive formulas. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2007, Sep 09 2008
An infinitesimal matrix generator for unsigned A111596 is given by A132792. - Tom Copeland, Nov 22 2007
From the formalism of A132792 and A133314 for n > k, unsigned A111596(n,k) = a(k) * a(k+1)...a(n-1) / (n-k)! = a generalized factorial, where a(n) = A002378(n) = n-th term of first subdiagonal of unsigned A111596. Hence Deutsch's remark in A002378 provides an interpretation of A111596(n,k) in terms of combinations of certain circular binary words. - Tom Copeland, Nov 22 2007
Given T(n,k)= A111596(n,k) and matrices A and B with A(n,k) = T(n,k)*a(n-k) and B(n,k) = T(n,k)*b(n-k), then A*B = C where C(n,k) = T(n,k)*[a(.)+b(.)]^(n-k), umbrally. - Tom Copeland, Aug 27 2008
Operationally, the unsigned row polynomials may be expressed as p_n(:xD:) = x*:Dx:^n*x^{-1}=x*D^nx^n*x^{-1}= n!*binomial(xD+n-1,n) = (-1)^n n! binomial(-xD,n) = n!L(n,-1,-:xD:), where, by definition, :AB:^n = A^nB^n for any two operators A and B, D = d/dx, and L(n,-1,x) is the Laguerre polynomial of order -1. A similarity transformation of the operators :Dx:^n generates the higher order Laguerre polynomials, which can also be expressed in terms of rising or falling factorials or Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions (cf. the Mathoverflow post). - Tom Copeland, Sep 21 2019

Examples

			Binomial convolution of row polynomials: p(3,x) = 6*x-6*x^2+x^3; p(2,x) = -2*x+x^2, p(1,x) = x, p(0,x) = 1,
together with those from A111595: s(3,x) = 9*x-6*x^2+x^3; s(2,x) = 1-2*x+x^2, s(1,x) = x, s(0,x) = 1; therefore
9*(x+y)-6*(x+y)^2+(x+y)^3 = s(3,x+y) = 1*s(0,x)*p(3,y) + 3*s(1,x)*p(2,y) + 3*s(2,x)*p(1,y) +1*s(3,x)*p(0,y) = (6*y-6*y^2+y^3) + 3*x*(-2*y+y^2) + 3*(1-2*x+x^2)*y + 9*x-6*x^2+x^3.

From Tom Copeland, Nov 21 2011: (Start)
For this Lah triangle, the n-th row polynomial is given umbrally by
(-1)^n n! binomial(-Bell.(-x),n), where Bell_n(-x)= exp(x)(xd/dx)^n exp(-x), the n-th Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomial with neg. arg., (cf. A008277). E.g., 2! binomial(-Bell.(-x),2) = -Bell.(-x)*(-Bell.(-x)-1) = Bell_2(-x)+Bell_1(-x) = -2x+x^2.
A Dobinski relation is (-1)^n n! binomial(-Bell.(-x),n)= (-1)^n n! e^x Sum_{j>=0} (-1)^j binomial(-j,n)x^j/j!= n! e^x Sum_{j>=0} (-1)^j binomial(j-1+n,n)x^j/j!. See the Copeland link for the relation to inverse Mellin transform. (End)
The n-th row polynomial is (-1/x)^n e^x (x^2*D_x)^n e^(-x). - Tom Copeland, Oct 29 2012
Let f(.,x)^n = f(n,x) = x!/(x-n)!, the falling factorial,and r(.,x)^n = r(n,x) = (x-1+n)!/(x-1)!, the rising factorial, then the Lah polynomials, Lah(n,t)= n!*Sum{k=1..n} binomial(n-1,k-1)(-t)^k/k! (extra sign factor on odd rows), give the transform Lah(n,-f(.,x))= r(n,x), and Lah(n,r(.,x))= (-1)^n * f(n,x). - Tom Copeland, Oct 04 2014
|T(n,k)| = Sum_{j=0..2*(n-k)} A254881(n-k,j)*k^j/(n-k)!. Note that A254883 is constructed analogously from A254882. - Peter Luschny, Feb 10 2015
The T(n,k) are the inverse Bell transform of [1!,2!,3!,...] and |T(n,k)| are the Bell transform of [1!,2!,3!,...]. See A264428 for the definition of the Bell transform and A264429 for the definition of the inverse Bell transform. - Peter Luschny, Dec 20 2015

Discussion of Central Factorial Numbers by N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 01 2011: (Start)
Here is Riordan's definition of the central factorial numbers t(n,k) given in Combinatorial Identities, Section 6.5:
For n >= 0, expand the polynomial
x^[n] = x*Product{i=1..n-1} (x+n/2-i) = Sum_{k=0..n} t(n,k)*x^k.
The t(n,k) are not always integers. The cases n even and n odd are best handled separately.
For n=2m, we have:
x^[2m] = Product_{i=0..m-1} (x^2-i^2) = Sum_{k=1..m} t(2m,2k)*x^(2k).
E.g. x^[8] = x^2(x^2-1^2)(x^2-2^2)(x^2-3^2) = x^8-14x^6+49x^4-36x^2,
which corresponds to row 4 of the present triangle.
So the m-th row of the present triangle gives the absolute values of the coefficients in the expansion of Product_{i=0..m-1} (x^2-i^2).
Equivalently, and simpler, the n-th row gives the coefficients in the expansion of Product_{i=1..n-1}(x+i^2), highest powers first.
For n odd, n=2m+1, we have:
x^[2m+1] = x*Product_{i=0..m-1}(x^2-((2i+1)/2)^2) = Sum_{k=0..m} t(2m+1,2k+1)*x^(2k+1).
E.g. x^[5] = x(x^2-(1/2)^2)(x^2-(3/2)^2) = x^5-10x^3/4+9x/16,
which corresponds to row 2 of the triangle in A008956.
We now rescale to get integers by replacing x by x/2 and multiplying by 2^(2m+1) (getting 1, -10, 9 from the example).
The result is that row m of triangle A008956 gives the coefficients in the expansion of x*Product_{i=0..m} (x^2-(2i+1)^2).
Equivalently, and simpler, the n-th row of A008956 gives the coefficients in the expansion of Product_{i=0..n-1} (x+(2i+1)^2), highest powers first.
Note that the n-th row of A182867 gives the coefficients in the expansion of Product_{i=1..n} (x+(2i)^2), highest powers first.

We define Beta(n-z,n+z)/Beta(n,n) = Gamma(n-z)*Gamma(n+z)/Gamma(n)^2 = sum(EG2[2m,n]*z^(2m), m = 0..infinity) with Beta(z,w) the Beta function. The EG2[2m,n] coefficients are quite interesting, see A161739. Our definition leads to EG2[2m,1] = 2*eta(2m) and the recurrence relation EG2[2m,n] = EG2[2m,n-1] - EG2[2m-2,n-1]/(n-1)^2 for m = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ... and n = 2, 3, ... , with eta(m) = (1-2^(1-m))*zeta(m) with eta(m) the Dirichlet eta function and zeta(m) the Riemann zeta function. We found for the matrix coefficients EG2[2m,n] = sum((-1)^(k+n)*t1(n-1,k-1)*2*eta(2*m-2*n+2*k)/((n-1)!)^2,k=1..n) with the central factorial numbers t1(n,m) as defined above, see also the Maple program.
From the EG2 matrix we arrive at the ZG2 matrix, see A161739 for its odd counterpart, which is defined by ZG2[2m,1] = 2*zeta(2m) and the recurrence relation ZG2[2m,n] = ZG2[2m-2,n-1]/(n*(n-1))-(n-1)*ZG2[2m,n-1]/n for m = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ... and n = 2, 3, ... . We found for the ZG2[2m,n] = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1)*t1(n-1,k-1)* 2* zeta(2*m-2*n+2*k)/((n-1)!*(n)!), and we see that the central factorial numbers t1(n,m) once again play a crucial role.

Formula

The n-th row gives the coefficients in the expansion of Product_{i=1..n-1}(x+i^2), highest powers first (see Comments section).
The triangle can be obtained from the recurrence t1(n,k) = n^2*t1(n-1,k-1) + t1(n-1,k) with t1(n,0) = 1 and t1(n,n) = (n!)^2.
t1(n,k) = Sum_{j=-k..k} (-1)^j*s(n+1,n+1-k+j)*s(n+1,n+1-k-j) = Sum_{j=0..2*(n+1-k)} (-1)^(n+1-k+j)*s(n+1,j)*s(n+1,2*(n+1-k)-j), where s(n,k) are Stirling numbers of the first kind, A048994. - Mircea Merca, Apr 02 2012
E.g.f.: cosh(2/sqrt(t)*asin(sqrt(t)*z/2)) = 1 + z^2/2! + (1 + t)*z^4/4! + (1 + 5*t + 4*t^2)*z^6/6! + ... (see Berndt, p.263 and p.306). - Peter Bala, Aug 29 2012
T(n,m) = (2*(n+1))!*Sum_{k=0..m} ((-1)^k*binomial(n,m-k)*Sum_{i=0..2*k} ((2^(i-2*m)*stirling1(2*(n-m+1)+i,2*(n-m+1))*binomial(2*(n-m+1)+2*k-1, 2*(n-m+1)+i-1))/(2*(n-m+1)+i)!)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 05 2013
