The list partition transform of a sequence a(n) for which a(0)=1 is illustrated by:
b_0 = 1
b_1 = -a_1
b_2 = -a_2 + 2 a_1^2
b_3 = -a_3 + 6 a_2 a_1 - 6 a_1^3
b_4 = -a_4 + 8 a_3 a_1 + 6 a_2^2 - 36 a_2 a_1^2 + 24 a_1^4
... .
The unsigned coefficients are A049019 with a leading 1. The sign is dependent on the partition as evident from inspection (replace a_n's by -1).
Expressed umbrally, i.e., with the umbral operation (a.)^n := a_n,
exp(a.x) exp(b.x) = exp[(a.+b.)x] = 1; i.e., (a.+b.)^n = 1 for n=0 and 0 for all other values of n.
Expressed recursively,
b_0 = 1, b_n = -Sum_{j=1..n} binomial(n,j) a_j b_{n-j}; which is conditionally self-inverse, i.e., the roles of a_k and b_k may be reversed with a_0 = b_0 = 1.
Expressed in matrix form, b_n form the first column of B = matrix inverse of A .
A = Pascal matrix diagonally multiplied by a_n, i.e., A_{n,k} = binomial(n,k)* a_{n-k}.
Some examples of reciprocal pairs of sequences under these operations are:
1) A084358 and -A000262 with the first term set to 1.
2) (1,-1,0,0,...) and (0!,1!,2!,3!,...) with the unsigned associated matrices A128229 and A094587.
3) (1,-1,-1,-1,...) and A000670.
5) (1,-2,-2,0,0,0,...) and (0! c_1,1! c_2,2! c_3,3! c_4,...) where c_n = A000129(n) with the associated matrices A110327 and A110330.
6) (1,-2,2,0,0,0,...) and (1!,2!,3!,4!,...).
7) Sequences of rising and signed lowering factorials form reciprocal pairs where a_n = (-1)^n m!/(m-n)! and b_n = (m-1+n)!/(m-1)! for m=0,1,2,... .
Denote the action of the list partition transform on the sequence a. or an invertible matrix M by LPT(a.) = b. or LPT(M)= M^(-1).
If the matrix equation M = exp(T) also holds, then exp[a.*T]*exp[b.*T] = exp[(a.+b.)*T] = I, the identity matrix, because (a.+b.)^n = delta_n, the Kronecker delta with delta_n = 1 and delta_n = 0 otherwise, i.e., (0)^n = delta_n.
Therefore, [exp(a.*T)]^(-1) = exp[b.*T] = exp[LPT(a.)*T] = LPT[exp(a.*T)].
The fundamental Pascal (A007318), unsigned Lah (A105278) and associated Laguerre matrices can be generated by exponentiation of special infinitesimal matrices (see A132440, A132710 and A132681) such that finding LPT(a.) amounts to multiplying the k'th diagonal of the fundamental matrices by a_k for every diagonal followed by matrix inversion and then extraction of the b_n factors from the first column (simplest for the Pascal formulas above).
Conversely, the inverses of matrices formed by diagonally multiplying the three fundamental matrices by a_k are given by diagonally multiplying the fundamental matrices by b_k.
If LPT(M) is defined differently as application of the top formula to a_n = M^n, then b_n = (-M)^n and the formalism could even be applied to more general sequences of matrices M., providing the reciprocal of exp[t*M.].
The group of fundamental lower triangular matrices M = exp(T) such that LPT[exp(a.*T)] = exp[LPT(a.)*T] = [exp[a.*T]]^(-1) are obtained by infinitesimal generator matrices of the form T =
0;
t(0), 0;
0, t(1), 0;
0, 0, t(2), 0;
0, 0, 0, t(3), 0;
... .
T^m has trivially vanishing terms except along the m'th subdiagonal, which is a sequence of generalized factorials:
[ t(0)*t(1)...t(m-2)*t(m-1), t(1)*t(2)...t(m-1)*t(m), t(2)*t(3)...t(m)*t(m+1), ... ].
Therefore the principal submatrices of T (given by setting t(j) = 0 for j > n-1) are nilpotent with at least [Tsub_n]^(n+1) = 0.
The general group of matrices GM[a.] = exp[a.*T] can also be obtained through diagonal multiplication of M = exp(T) by the sequence a_n, as in the Pascal matrix example above and their inverses by diagonal multiplication by b. = LPT(a.).
Weighted-mappings interpretation for the top partition equation:
Given n pre-nodes (Pre) and k post-nodes (Post), each Pre is connected to only one Post and each Post has at least one Pre connected to it (surjections or onto functions/maps). Weight each Post by -a_m where m is the number of connections to the Post.
Weight each map by the product of the Post weights and multiply by the number of maps that share the same connectivity. Sum over the possible mappings for n Pre. The result is b_n.
E.g., b_3 = [ 3 Pre to 1 Post ] + [ 3 Pre to 2 Post ] + [ 3 Pre to 3 Post ]
= [1 map with 1 Post with 3 connections] + [ 6 maps with 1 Post with 2 connections and 1 Post with 1 connection] + [6 maps with 3 Post with 1 connection each]
= -a_3 + 6 * [-a_2*(-a_1)] + 6 * [-a_1*(-a_1)*(-a_1)].
See A263633 for the complementary formulation for the reciprocal of o.g.f.s rather than e.g.f.s and computations of these partition polynomials as Gram determinants. - Tom Copeland, Dec 04 2016
The coefficients of the partition polynomials enumerate the faces of the convex, bounded polytopes called permutohedra, and the absolute value of the sum of the coefficients gives the Euler characteristic of unity for each polytope; i.e., the absolute value of the sum of each row of the array is unity. In addition, the signs of the faces alternate with dimension, and the coefficients of faces with the same dimension for each polytope have the same sign. - Tom Copeland, Nov 13 2019
With the fundamental matrix chosen to be the lower triangular Pascal matrix M, the matrix MA whose n-th diagonals are multiplied by a_n (i.e., MA_{i,j} = PM_{i,j} * a_{i-j}) gives a matrix representation of the e.g.f. associated to the Appell polynomial sequence defined by e^{a.t}e^{xt}= e^{(a.+x)t} = e^{A.(x)t} where umbrally (A.(x))^n = A_n(x) = (a. + x)^n = sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) a_k x^{n-k} are the associated Appell polynomials. Left multiplication of the column vector (1,x,x^2,..) by MA gives the Appell polynomial sequence, and multiplication of the two e.g.f.s e^{a.t} and e^{b.t} corresponds to multiplication of their respective matrix representations MA and MB. Forming the reciprocal of an e.g.f. corresponds to taking the matrix inverse of its matrix representation as noted above. A263634 gives an associated modified Pascal matrix representation of the raising operator for the Appell sequence. - Tom Copeland, Nov 13 2019
The diagonal of MA consists of all ones. Let MAN be the truncated square submatrix of MA containing the coefficients of the first N Appell polynomials A_k=(a.+x)^k = Sum(j=0 to k) MAN(k,j) x^j. Then by the Cayley-Hamilton theorem (I-MAN)^N = 0; therefore, MAN^(-1) = Sum(k=1 to N) binomial(N,k) (-MAN)^{k-1} = MBN, the inverse of MAN, containing the coefficients of the first N rows of the Appell polynomials B_k(x) = (b. + x)^k = Sum(j=0 to k) MBN(k,j) x^j, which are the umbral compositional inverses of the Appell row polynomials A_k(x) of MAN; that is, A_k(B.(x)) = x^k = B_k(A.(x)), where, e.g., (A.(x))^k = A_k(x). - Tom Copeland, May 13 2020
The use of the term 'list partition transform' resulted from one of my first uses of these partition polynomials in relating A000262 to A084358 with their simple e.g.f.s. Other appropriate names would be the permutohedra polynomials since they are refined Euler characteristics of the permutohedra or the reciprocal polynomials since they give the multiplicative inverses of e.g.f.s with a constant of 1. - Tom Copeland, Oct 09 2022

Previous name was: A triangle of numbers related to the triangle A035324; generalization of Stirling numbers of second kind A008277 and Lah numbers A008297.
If one replaces in the recurrence the '2' by '0', resp. '1', one obtains the Lah-number, resp. Stirling-number of 2nd kind, triangle A008297, resp. A008277.
The product of two lower triangular Jabotinsky matrices (see A039692 for the Knuth 1992 reference) is again such a Jabotinsky matrix: J(n,m) = Sum_{j=m..n} J1(n,j)*J2(j,m). The e.g.f.s of the first columns of these triangular matrices are composed in the reversed order: f(x)=f2(f1(x)). With f1(x)=-(log(1-2*x))/2 for J1(n,m)=|A039683(n,m)| and f2(x)=exp(x)-1 for J2(n,m)=A008277(n,m) one has therefore f2(f1(x))=1/sqrt(1-2*x) - 1 = f(x) for J(n,m)=a(n,m). This proves the matrix product given below. The m-th column of a Jabotinsky matrix J(n,m) has e.g.f. (f(x)^m)/m!, m>=1.
a(n,m) gives the number of forests with m rooted ordered trees with n non-root vertices labeled in an organic way. Organic labeling means that the vertex labels along the (unique) path from the root with label 0 to any leaf (non-root vertex of degree 1) is increasing. Proof: first for m=1 then for m>=2 using the recurrence relation for a(n,m) given below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 07 2007
Also the Bell transform of A001147(n+1) (adding 1,0,0,... as column 0). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 19 2016

Recurrence (Sage program): |a(4,1)| = 6 + 3*18 + 4*9 = 96. (End)
Embedded recurrence (Maple program): a(4,1) = -4!*(1 + 3) = -96.

Symbolically, with D=d/dx and LN(n,x)=n!L_n(x), define :Dx:^j = D^j x^j, :xD:^j = x^j D^j, and LN(.,x)^j = LN(j,x) = row polynomials of A021009.
Then some useful relations are
1) (:Dx:)^n = LN(n,-:xD:) [Rodriguez formula]
2) (xDx)^n = x^n D^n x^n = x^n LN(n,-:xD:) [See Al-Salam ref./A132440]
3) (DxD)^n = D^n x^n D^n = LN(n,-:xD:) D^n [See ref. in A132440]
4) umbral composition LN(n,LN(.,x))= x^n [See Rota ref.]
5) umbral comp. LN(n,-:Dx:) = LN(n,-LN(.,-:xD:)) = 2^n LN(n,-:xD:/2)= n! * (n-th row e.g.f.(x) of A038207 with x replaced by :xD:).
An example for 2) is the operator (xDx)^2 = (xDx)(xDx) = xD(x^2 + x^3D)= 2x^2 + 4x^3 D + x^4 D^2 = x^2 (2 + 4x D + x^2 D^2) = x^2 (2 + 4 :xD: + :xD:^2) = x^2 LN(2,-:xD:) = x^2 2! L_2(-:xD:).
An example of the umbral composition in 5) is given in A038207.
The op. xDx is related to the Euler/binomial transformation for power series/o.g.f.s. through exp(t*xDx) f(x) = f[x/(1-t*x)]/(1-t*x) and to the special Moebius/linear fractional/projective transformation z exp(-t*zDz)(1/z)f(z) = f(z/(1+t*z)).

Standard recurrence derived from the three term recurrence of the orthogonal polynomials system {n!*L(n,x)}: L(n,x) = (2*n - 1 - x)*L(n-1,x) - (n-1)^2*L(n-2,x), n>=1, L(-1,x) = 0, L(0,x) = 1.
a(n,m) = (2*n-1)*a(n-1,m) - a(n-1,m-1) - (n-1)^2*a(n-2,m),
n >=1, with a(n,-1) = 0, a(0,0) = 1, a(n,m) = 0 if n < m. (compare this with Peter Luschny's program for the unsigned case |a(n,m)| = (-1)^m*a(n,m)).
Simplified recurrence (using column recurrence from explicit form for a(n,m) given above):
a(n,m) = (n+m)*a(n-1,m) - a(n-1,m-1), n >= 1, a(0,0) = 1, a(n,-1) = 0, a(n,m) = 0 if n < m. (End)
|T(n,k)| = [x^k] (-1)^n*U(-n,1,-x), where U(a,b,x) is Kummer's hypergeometric U function. - Peter Luschny, Apr 11 2015
T(n,k) = (-1)^k*n!*S(n,k) where S(n,k) is recursively defined by: "if k = 0 then 1 else if k > n then 0 else S(n-1,k-1)/k + S(n-1,k)". - Peter Luschny, Jun 21 2017
The unsigned case is the exponential Riordan square (see A321620) of the factorial numbers. - Peter Luschny, Dec 06 2018
Omitting the diagonal and signs, this array is generated by the commutator [D^n,x^n] = D^n x^n - x^n D^n = Sum_{i=0..n-1} ((n!/i!)^2/(n-i)!) x^i D^i on p. 9 of both papers by Belov-Kanel and Kontsevich. - Tom Copeland, Jan 23 2020

From Peter Bala, Nov 25 2011: (Start)
E.g.f.: G(x,t) = exp(t*A(x)) = 1+t*x+(5*t+t^2)*x^2/2!+(45*t+15*t^2+t^3)*x^3/3!+..., where A(x) = -1+(1-4*x)^(-1/4) satisfies the autonomous differential equation A'(x) = (1+A(x))^5.
The generating function G(x,t) satisfies the partial differential equation t*(dG/dt+G) = (1-4*x)*dG/dx, from which follows the recurrence given above.
The row polynomials are given by D^n(exp(x*t)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator (1+x)^5*d/dx. Cf. A008277 (D = (1+x)*d/dx), A105278 (D = (1+x)^2*d/dx), A035342 (D = (1+x)^3*d/dx) and A035469 (D = (1+x)^4*d/dx).

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.

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

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.

Formula

a(n, m) = Sum_{j=m..n} |A051141(n, j)|*S2(j, m) (matrix product), with S2(j, m):=A008277(j, m) (Stirling2 triangle). Priv. comm. to Wolfdieter Lang by E. Neuwirth, Feb 15 2001; see also the 2001 Neuwirth reference. See the general comment on products of Jabotinsky matrices given under A035342.

E.g.f. of m-th column: ((-1+(1-3*x)^(-1/3))^m)/m!.
From Peter Bala, Nov 25 2011: (Start)
E.g.f.: G(x,t) = exp(t*A(x)) = 1 + t*x + (4*t+t^2)*x^2/2! + (28*t + 12*t^2 + t^3)*x^3/3! + ..., where A(x) = -1 + (1-3*x)^(-1/3) satisfies the autonomous differential equation A'(x) = (1+A(x))^4.
The generating function G(x,t) satisfies the partial differential equation t*(dG/dt+G) = (1-3*x)*dG/dx, from which follows the recurrence given above.
The row polynomials are given by D^n(exp(x*t)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator (1+x)^4*d/dx. Cf. A008277 (D = (1+x)*d/dx), A105278 (D = (1+x)^2*d/dx), A035342 (D = (1+x)^3*d/dx) and A049029 (D = (1+x)^5*d/dx).

The Lah numbers can be seen as the case m=1 of the family of triangles T_{m}(n,k) = T_{m}(n-1,k-1)+(k^m+(n-1)^m)*T_{m}(n-1,k) (see the link 'Partition transform').

Partition product of Product_{j=0..n-1} ((k+1)*j - 1) and n! at k = -2, summed over parts with equal biggest part (Stirling_2 type) as well as partition product of Product_{j=0..n-2} (k-n+j+2) and n! at k = -2 (Stirling_1 type).
It shares this property with the signless Lah numbers.
Underlying partition triangle is A130561.
Same partition product with length statistic is A105278.
Diagonal a(A000217) = A000142.
Row sum is A000262.
T(n,k) is the number of nilpotent elements in the symmetric inverse semigroup (partial bijections) on [n] having index k. Equivalently, T(n,k) is the number of directed acyclic graphs on n labeled nodes with every node having indegree and outdegree at most one and the longest path containing exactly k nodes. - Geoffrey Critzer, Nov 21 2021

The row polynomials s(n,x) := n!*L(n,3,x) = Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m have e.g.f. exp(-z*x/(1-z))/(1-z)^4. They are Sheffer polynomials satisfying the binomial convolution identity s(n,x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*s(k,x)*p(n-k,y), with polynomials p(n,x) = Sum_{m=1..n} |A008297(n,m)|*(-x)^m, n >= 1 and p(0,x)=1 (for Sheffer polynomials see A048854 for S. Roman reference).
These polynomials appear in the radial part of the l=1 (p-wave) eigen functions for the discrete energy levels of the H-atom. See Messiah reference.
The unsigned version of this triangle is the triangle of unsigned 2-Lah numbers A143497. - Peter Bala, Aug 25 2008
This matrix (unsigned) is embedded in that for n!*L(n,-3,-x). Introduce 0,0,0 to each unsigned row and then add 1,-2,1,4,2,1 to the beginning of the array as the first three rows to generate n!*L(n,-3,-x). - Tom Copeland, Apr 21 2014
From Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 07 2014: (Start)
The standard Rodrigues formula for the monic generalized Laguerre polynomials (also called Laguerre-Sonin polynomials) is Lm(n,alpha,x) := (-1)^n*n!*L(n,3,x) is x^(-alpha)*exp(x)*(d/dx)^n(exp(-x)*x^(n+alpha)).
Another Rodrigues type formula is Lm(n,alpha,x) = exp(x)*x^(-alpha+n+1)*(-x^2*d/dx)^n*(exp(-x)*x^(alpha+1)). This is derivable from the differential - difference relation of Lm(n,alpha,x) which yields first the creation operator formula -(x*d/dx + (-x + alpha + n + 1))*Lm(n,alpha,x) = Lm(n+1,alpha,x) or in the variable q = log(x) the operator -(d/dq + alpha + n + 1 - exp(q)).
The identity (due to Christoph Mayer) (d/dq - (d/dq)W(q))*f(q) = exp(W(q)*d/dq(exp(-W(q)*f(q)) is then iterated with W(q) = W(alpha,n,q) = exp(q) - (alpha + n + 1)*q and a further change of variables leads then to the given result. (End)
