From Peter Bala, Feb 02 2011: (Start)
The Springer numbers were originally considered by Glaisher (see references). They are a type B analog of the zigzag numbers A000111 for the group of signed permutations.
COMBINATORIAL INTERPRETATIONS
Several combinatorial interpretations of the Springer numbers are known:
1) a(n) gives the number of Weyl chambers in the principal Springer cone of the Coxeter group B_n of symmetries of an n dimensional cube. An example can be found in [Arnold - The Calculus of snakes...].
2) Arnold found an alternative combinatorial interpretation of the Springer numbers in terms of snakes. Snakes are a generalization of alternating permutations to the group of signed permutations. A signed permutation is a sequence (x_1,x_2,...,x_n) of integers such that {|x_1|,|x_2|,...,|x_n|} = {1,2,...,n}. They form a group, the hyperoctahedral group of order 2^n*n! = A000165(n), isomorphic to the group of symmetries of the n dimensional cube. A snake of type B_n is a signed permutation (x_1,x_2,...,x_n) such that 0 < x_1  > x_2 < ... x_n. For example, (3,-4,-2,-5,1,-6) is a snake of type B_6. a(n) gives the number of snakes of type B_n [Arnold]. The cases n=2 and n=3 are given in the Example section below.
3) The Springer numbers also arise in the study of the critical points of functions; they count the topological types of odd functions with 2*n critical values [Arnold, Theorem 35].
4) Let F_n be the set of plane rooted forests satisfying the following conditions:
... each root has exactly one child, and each of the other internal nodes has exactly two (ordered) children,
... there are n nodes labeled by integers from 1 to n, but some leaves can be non-labeled (these are called empty leaves), and labels are increasing from each root down to the leaves. Then a(n) equals the cardinality of F_n. An example and proof are given in [Verges, Theorem 4.5].
OTHER APPEARANCES OF THE SPRINGER NUMBERS
1) Hoffman has given a connection between Springer numbers, snakes and the successive derivatives of the secant and tangent functions.
2) For integer N the quarter Gauss sums Q(N) are defined by ... Q(N) := Sum_{r = 0..floor(N/4)} exp(2*Pi*I*r^2/N). In the cases N = 1 (mod 4) and N = 3 (mod 4) an asymptotic series for Q(N) as N -> inf that involves the Springer numbers has been given by Evans et al., see 1.32 and 1.33.
For a sequence of polynomials related to the Springer numbers see A185417. For a table to recursively compute the Springer numbers see A185418.
(End)
Similar to the way in which the signed Euler numbers A122045 are 2^n times the value of the Euler polynomials at 1/2, the generalized signed Euler numbers A188458 can be seen as 2^n times the value of generalized Euler polynomials at 1/2. These are the Swiss-Knife polynomials A153641. A recursive definition of these polynomials is given in A081658. - Peter Luschny, Jul 19 2012
a(n) is the number of reverse-complementary updown permutations of [2n]. For example, the updown permutation 241635 is reverse-complementary because its complement is 536142, which is the same as its reverse, and a(2)=3 counts 1324, 2413, 3412. - David Callan, Nov 29 2012
a(n) = |2^n G(n,1/2;-1)|, a specialization of the Appell sequence of polynomials umbrally formed by G(n,x;t) = (G(.,0;t) + x)^n from the Grassmann polynomials G(n,0;t) of A046802 enumerating the cells of the positive Grassmannians. - Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2015

Paul D. Hanna, Jan 24 2009

Previous name was: a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^(k)*C(n-1,k)*a(n-1-k)*a(k) for n>0 with a(0)=1.
Factorials have a similar recurrence: f(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(n-1,k)*f(n-1-k)*f(k), n > 0.
Related to A102573: letting T(q,r) be the coefficient of n^(r+1) in the polynomial 2^(q-n)/n times Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*k^q, then A155585(x) = Sum_{k=0..x-1} T(x,k)*(-1)^k. See Mathematica code below. - John M. Campbell, Nov 16 2011
For the difference table and the relation to the Seidel triangle see A239005. - Paul Curtz, Mar 06 2014
From Tom Copeland, Sep 29 2015: (Start)
Let z(t) = 2/(e^(2t)+1) = 1 + tanh(-t) = e.g.f.(-t) for this sequence = 1 - t + 2*t^3/3! - 16*t^5/5! + ... .
dlog(z(t))/dt = -z(-t), so the raising operators that generate Appell polynomials associated with this sequence, A081733, and its reciprocal, A119468, contain z(-d/dx) = e.g.f.(d/dx) as the differential operator component.
dz(t)/dt = z*(z-2), so the assorted relations to a Ricatti equation, the Eulerian numbers A008292, and the Bernoulli numbers in the Rzadkowski link hold.
From Michael Somos's formula below (drawing on the Edwards link), y(t,1)=1 and x(t,1) = (1-e^(2t))/(1+e^(2t)), giving z(t) = 1 + x(t,1). Compare this to the formulas in my list in A008292 (Sep 14 2014) with a=1 and b=-1,
A) A(t,1,-1) = A(t) = -x(t,1) = (e^(2t)-1)/(1+e^(2t)) = tanh(t) = t + -2*t^3/3! + 16*t^5/5! + -272*t^7/7! + ... = e.g.f.(t) - 1 (see A000182 and A000111)
B) Ainv(t) = log((1+t)/(1-t))/2 = tanh^(-1)(t) = t + t^3/3 + t^5/5 + ..., the compositional inverse of A(t)
C) dA/dt = (1-A^2), relating A(t) to a Weierstrass elliptic function
D) ((1-t^2)d/dt)^n t evaluated at t=0, a generator for the sequence A(t)
F) FGL(x,y)= (x+y)/(1+xy) = A(Ainv(x) + Ainv(y)), a related formal group law corresponding to the Lorentz FGL (Lorentz transformation--addition of parallel velocities in special relativity) and the Atiyah-Singer signature and the elliptic curve (1-t^2)*s = t^3 in Tate coordinates according to the Lenart and Zainoulline link and the Buchstaber and Bunkova link (pp. 35-37) in A008292.
A133437 maps the reciprocal odd natural numbers through the refined faces of associahedra to a(n).
A145271 links the differential relations to the geometry of flow maps, vector fields, and thereby formal group laws. See Mathworld for links of tanh to other geometries and statistics.
Since the a(n) are related to normalized values of the Bernoulli numbers and the Riemann zeta and Dirichlet eta functions, there are links to Witten's work on volumes of manifolds in two-dimensional quantum gauge theories and the Kervaire-Milnor formula for homotopy groups of hyperspheres (see my link below).
See A101343, A111593 and A059419 for this and the related generator (1 + t^2) d/dt and associated polynomials. (End)

In the following the expression [n odd] is 1 if n is odd, 0 otherwise.
(+) W_n(0) = E_n are the Euler (or secant) numbers A122045.
(+) W_n(1) = T_n are the signed tangent numbers, see A009006.
(+) W_{n-1}(1) n / (4^n - 2^n) = B_n gives for n > 1 the Bernoulli number A027641/A027642.
(+) W_n(-1) 2^{-n}(n+1) = G_n the Genocchi number A036968.
(+) W_n(1/2) 2^{n} are the signed generalized Euler (Springer) number, see A001586.
(+) | W_n([n odd]) | the number of alternating permutations A000111.
(+) | W_n([n odd]) / n! | for 0<=n the Euler zeta number A099612/A099617 (see Wikipedia on Bernoulli number). - Peter Luschny, Dec 29 2008
The diagonals in the full triangle (with zero coefficients) of the polynomials have the general form E(k)*binomial(n+k,k) (k>=0 fixed, n=0,1,...) where E(n) are the Euler numbers in the enumeration A122045. For k=2 we find the triangular numbers A000217 and for k=4 A154286. - Peter Luschny, Jan 06 2009
From Peter Bala, Jun 10 2009: (Start)
The Swiss-Knife polynomials W_n(x) may be expressed in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials B(n,x) as
... W_n(x) = 4^(n+1)/(2*n+2)*[B(n+1,(x+3)/4) - B(n+1,(x+1)/4)].
The Swiss-Knife polynomials are, apart from a multiplying factor, examples of generalized Bernoulli polynomials.
Let X be the Dirichlet character modulus 4 defined by X(4*n+1) = 1, X(4*n+3) = -1 and X(2*n) = 0. The generalized Bernoulli polynomials B(X;n,x), n = 1,2,..., associated with the character X are defined by means of the generating function
... t*exp(x*t)*(exp(t)-exp(3*t))/(exp(4*t)-1) = sum {n = 1..inf} B(X;n,x)*t^n/n!.
The first few values are B(X;1,x) = -1/2, B(X;2,x) = -x, B(X,3,x) = -3/2*(x^2-1) and B(X;4,x) = -2*(x^3-3*x).
In general, W_n(x) = -2/(n+1)*B(X;n+1,x).
For the theory of generalized Bernoulli polynomials associated to a periodic arithmetical function see [Cohen, Section 9.4].
The generalized Bernoulli polynomials may be used to evaluate twisted sums of k-th powers. For the present case the result is
sum{n = 0..4*N-1} X(n)*n^k = 1^k - 3^k + 5^k - 7^k + ... - (4*N-1)^k
= [B(X;k+1,4*N) - B(X;k+1,0)]/(k+1) = [W_k(0) - W_k(4*N)]/2.
For the proof apply [Cohen, Corollary 9.4.17 with m = 4 and x = 0].
The generalized Bernoulli polynomials and the Swiss-Knife polynomials are also related to infinite sums of powers through their Fourier series - see the formula section below. For a table of the coefficients of generalized Bernoulli polynomials attached to a Dirichlet character modulus 8 see A151751.
(End)
The Swiss-Knife polynomials provide a general formula for alternating sums of powers similar to the formula which are provided by the Bernoulli polynomials for non-alternating sums of powers (see the Luschny link). Sequences covered by this formula include A001057, A062393, A062392, A011934, A144129, A077221, A137501, A046092. - Peter Luschny, Jul 12 2009
The greatest common divisor of the nonzero coefficients of the decapitated Swiss-Knife polynomials is exp(Lambda(n)), where Lambda(n) is the von Mangoldt function for odd primes, symbolically:
gcd(coeffs(SKP_{n}(x) - x^n)) = A155457(n) (n>1). - Peter Luschny, Dec 16 2009

Conjecture: For k = 0,1,2,... define S(k,x):= Sum_{j=0..k} binomial(k,j)*binomial(x,j)*binomial(x+j,j).
(i) For any integer n > 0, the polynomial (1/n^2) * Sum_{k=0..n-1}(2k+1)*S(k,x)^2 is integer-valued (and hence a(n) is always integral).
(ii) Let r be 0 or 1, and let x be any integer. Then, for any positive integers m and n, we have the congruence
   Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^(k*r)*(2k+1)*S(k,x)^(2m) == 0 (mod n).
(iii) For any odd prime p, we have Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/2)^2 == (-1/p)(1-7*p^3*B_{p-3}) (mod p^4), where (a/p) is the Legendre symbol, and B_0,B_1,B_2,... are Bernoulli numbers. Also, for any prime p > 3 we have Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/3)^2 == p - (14/3)*(p/3)*p^3*B_{p-2}(1/3) (mod p^4), where B_n(x) denotes the Bernoulli polynomial of degree n; Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/4)^2 == (2/p)*p - 26*(-2/p)*p^3*E_{p-3} (mod p^4), where E_0,E_1,E_2,... are Euler numbers; Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/6)^2 == (3/p)*p - (155/12)*(-1/p)*p^3*B_{p-2}(1/3) (mod p^4).
Our conjecture is motivated by a conjecture of Kimoto and Wakayama which states that Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/2)^2 == (-1/p) (mod p^3) for any odd prime p. The Kimoto-Wakayama conjecture was confirmed by Long, Osburn and Swisher in 2014.

T(n,k) is the number of positroid cells of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian G+(k,n) (cf. Postnikov/Williams). It is the triangle of the h-vectors of the stellahedra. - Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2014
See A248727 for a simple transformation of the row polynomials of this entry that produces the umbral compositional inverses of the polynomials of A074909, related to the face polynomials of the simplices. - Tom Copeland, Jan 21 2015
From Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2015: (Start)
The reciprocal of this entry's e.g.f. is [t e^(-xt) - e^(-x)] / (t-1) = 1 - (1+t) x + (1+t+t^2) x^2/2! - (1+t+t^2+t^3) x^3/3! + ... = e^(q.(0;t)x), giving the base sequence (q.(0;t))^n = q_n(0;t) = (-1)^n [1-t^(n+1)] / (1-t) for the umbral compositional inverses (q.(0;t)+z)^n = q_n(z;t) of the Appell polynomials associated with this entry, p_n(z;t) below, i.e., q_n(p.(z;t)) = z^n = p_n(q.(z;t)), in umbral notation. The relations in A133314 then apply between the two sets of base polynomials. (Inserted missing index in a formula - Mar 03 2016.)
The associated o.g.f. for the umbral inverses is Og(x) = x / (1-x q.(0:t)) = x / [(1+x)(1+tx)] = x / [1+(1+t)x+tx^2]. Applying A134264 to h(x) = x / Og(x) = 1 + (1+t) x + t x^2 leads to an o.g.f. for the Narayana polynomials A001263 as the comp. inverse Oginv(x) = [1-(1+t)x-sqrt[1-2(1+t)x+((t-1)x)^2]] / (2xt). Note that Og(x) gives the signed h-polynomials of the simplices and that Oginv(x) gives the h-polynomials of the simplicial duals of the Stasheff polynomials, or type A associahedra. Contrast this with A248727 = A046802 * A007318, which has o.g.f.s related to the corresponding f-polynomials. (End)
The Appell polynomials p_n(x;t) in the formulas below specialize to the Swiss-knife polynomials of A119879 for t = -1, so the Springer numbers A001586 are given by 2^n p_n(1/2;-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2015
The row polynomials are the h-polynomials associated to the stellahedra, whose f-polynomials are the row polynomials of A248727. Cf. page 60 of the Buchstaber and Panov link. - Tom Copeland, Nov 08 2016
The row polynomials are the h-polynomials of the stellohedra, which enumerate partial permutations according to descents. Cf. Section 10.4 of the Postnikov-Reiner-Williams reference. - Lauren Williams, Jul 05 2022
From p. 60 of the Buchstaber and Panov link, S = P * C / T where S, P, C, and T are the bivariate e.g.f.s of the h vectors of the stellahedra, permutahedra, hypercubes, and (n-1)-simplices, respectively. - Tom Copeland, Jan 09 2017
The number of Le-diagrams of type (k, n) this means the diagram uses the bounding box size k x (n-k), equivalently the number of Grassmann necklaces of type (k, n) and also the number of decorated permutations with k anti-exceedances. - Thomas Scheuerle, Dec 29 2024

Or, triangle of coefficients (with exponents in increasing order) in polynomials Q_n(u) defined by d^n sec x / dx^n = Q_n(tan x)*sec x.
Interpolates between factorials and Euler (or secant) numbers. Related to Springer numbers.
Companion triangles are A155100 (derivative polynomials of tangent function) and A185896 (derivative polynomials of squared secant function).
A combinatorial interpretation for the polynomial Q_n(u) as the generating function for a sign change statistic on certain types of signed permutation can be found in [Verges]. A signed permutation is a sequence (x_1,x_2,...,x_n) of integers such that {|x_1|,|x_2|,...,|x_n|} = {1,2,...,n}. They form a group, the hyperoctahedral group of order 2^n*n! = A000165(n), isomorphic to the group of symmetries of the n dimensional cube.
Let x_1,...,x_n be a signed permutation. Adjoin x_0 = 0 to the front of the permutation and x_(n+1) = (-1)^n*(n+1) to the end to form x_0,x_1,...,x_n,x_(n+1). Then x_0,x_1,...,x_n,x_(n+1) is a snake of type S(n;0) when x_0 < x_1 > x_2 < ... x_(n+1). For example, 0 3 -1  2 -4 is a snake of type S(3;0).
Let sc be the number of sign changes through a snake ... sc = #{i, 0 <= i <= n, x_i*x_(i+1) < 0}. For example, the snake 0 3 -1 2 -4 has sc = 3. The polynomial Q_n(u) is the generating function for the sign change statistic on snakes of type S(n;0): ... Q_n(u) = sum {snakes in S(n;0)} u^sc. See the example section below for the cases n = 2 and n = 3.
PRODUCTION MATRIX
Let D = subdiag(1,2,3,...) be the array with the indicated sequence on the first subdiagonal and zeros elsewhere and let C = transpose(D). The production matrix for this triangle is C+D: the first row of (C+D)^n is the n-th row of this triangle. D represents the derivative operator d/dx and C represents the operator p(x) -> x*d/dx(x*p(x)) acting on the basis monomials {x^n}n>=0. See Formula (1) below.

			The polynomials Q_0(u) through Q_6(u) (with exponents in decreasing order) are:

T(n,k) is the number of derangements of [n] having k excedances. Example: T(4,2)=7 because we have 3*14*2, 3*4*12, 4*3*12, 2*14*3, 2*4*13, 3*4*21, 4*3*21, each with two excedances (marked). An excedance of a permutation p is a position i such that p(i) > i.

The triangle shows the coefficients of the following bivariate polynomials:
  [1] 0;
  [2] x*y;
  [3] x^2*y +     x*y^2;
  [4] x^3*y +   7*x^2*y^2 +     x*y^3;
  [5] x^4*y +  21*x^3*y^2 +  21*x^2*y^3 +     x*y^4;
  [6] x^5*y +  51*x^4*y^2 + 161*x^3*y^3 +  51*x^2*y^4 +     x*y^5;

  ...
These polynomials are the permanents of the n X n matrices with all entries above the main antidiagonal set to 'x' and all entries below the main antidiagonal set to 'y'. The main antidiagonals consist only of zeros. Substituting x <- 1 and y <- -1 generates the Euler secant numbers A122045. (Compare with A081658.)
