T(n,m) is the number of m-faces of a regular n-simplex.
An n-simplex is the n-dimensional analog of a triangle. Specifically, a simplex is the convex hull of a set of (n + 1) affinely independent points in some Euclidean space of dimension n or higher, i.e., a set of points such that no m-plane contains more than (m + 1) of them. Such points are said to be in general position.
Reversing the rows gives A074909, which as a linear sequence is essentially the same as this.
From Tom Copeland, Dec 07 2007: (Start)
T(n,k) * (k+1)! = A068424. The comment on permuted words in A068424 shows that T is related to combinations of letters defined by connectivity of regular polytope simplexes.
If T is the diagonally-shifted Pascal matrix, binomial(n+m, k+m), for m=1, then T is a fundamental type of matrix that is discussed in A133314 and the following hold.
The infinitesimal matrix generator is given by A132681, so T = LM(1) of A132681 with inverse LM(-1).
With a(k) = (-x)^k / k!, T * a = [ Laguerre(n,x,1) ], a vector array with index n for the Laguerre polynomials of order 1. Other formulas for the action of T are given in A132681.
T(n,k) = (1/n!) (D_x)^n (D_t)^k Gf(x,t) evaluated at x=t=0 with Gf(x,t) = exp[ t * x/(1-x) ] / (1-x)^2.
[O.g.f. for T ] = 1 / { [ 1 - t * x/(1-x) ] * (1-x)^2 }. [ O.g.f. for row sums ] = 1 / { (1-x) * (1-2x) }, giving A000225 (without a leading zero) for the row sums. Alternating sign row sums are all 1. [Sign correction noted by Vincent J. Matsko, Jul 19 2015]
O.g.f. for row polynomials = [ (1+q)**(n+1) - 1 ] / [ (1+q) -1 ] = A(1,n+1,q) on page 15 of reference on Grassmann cells in A008292. (End)
Given 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. The e.g.f. for the row polynomials of A is {(a+t) exp[(a+t)x] - a exp(a x)}/t, umbrally. - Tom Copeland, Aug 21 2008

Relation to K-theory: T acting on the column vector (-0,d,-d^2,d^3,...) generates the Euler classes for a hypersurface of degree d in CP^n. Cf. Dugger p. 168 and also A104712, A111492, and A238363. - Tom Copeland, Apr 11 2014
Number of walks of length p>0 between any two distinct vertices of the complete graph K_(n+2) is W(n+2,p)=(-1)^(p-1)*Sum_{k=0..p-1} T(p-1,k)*(-n-2)^k = ((n+1)^p - (-1)^p)/(n+2) = (-1)^(p-1)*Sum_{k=0..p-1} (-n-1)^k. This is equal to (-1)^(p-1)*Phi(p,-n-1), where Phi is the cyclotomic polynomial when p is an odd prime. For K_3, see A001045; for K_4, A015518; for K_5, A015521; for K_6, A015531; for K_7, A015540. - Tom Copeland, Apr 14 2014
Consider the transformation 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + ... + x^n = A_0*(x-1)^0 + A_1*(x-1)^1 + A_2*(x-1)^2 + ... + A_n*(x-1)^n. This sequence gives A_0, ..., A_n as the entries in the n-th row of this triangle, starting at n = 0. - Derek Orr, Oct 14 2014
See A074909 for associations among this array, the Bernoulli polynomials and their umbral compositional inverses, and the face polynomials of permutahedra and their duals (cf. A019538). - Tom Copeland, Nov 14 2014

A(r, n) = T(n+r-2, r-1) = risefac(n,r)/r! = binomial(n+r-1, r), for n >= 1 and r >= 1, gives the array with the number of independent components of a symmetric tensors of rank r (number of indices) and dimension n (indices run from 1 to n). Here risefac(n, k) is the rising factorial.
As(r, n) = T(n+1, r+1) = fallfac(n, r)/r! = binomial(n, r), r >= 1 and n >= 1 (with the triangle entries T(n, k) = 0 for n < k) gives the array with the number of independent components of an antisymmetric tensor of rank r and dimension n. Here fallfac is the falling factorial. (End)
The h-vectors associated to these f-vectors are given by A000012 regarded as a lower triangular matrix. Read as bivariate polynomials, the h-polynomials are the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials in two variables, found in the compositional inverse of an e.g.f. for A008292, the h-vectors of the permutahedra. - Tom Copeland, Jan 10 2017

Let M(t) = exp(t*T) = lim_{n->oo} (1 + t*T/n)^n.
Pascal matrix = [ binomial(n,k) ] = M(1) = exp(T), truncating the series gives the n X n submatrices.
Inverse Pascal matrix = M(-1) = exp(-T) = matrix for inverse binomial transform.
A(j) = T^j / j! equals the matrix [binomial(n,k) * delta(n-k-j)] where delta(n) = 1 if n=0 and vanishes otherwise (Kronecker delta); i.e., A(j) is a matrix with all the terms 0 except for the j-th lower (or main for j=0) diagonal, which equals that of the Pascal triangle. Hence the A(j)'s form a linearly independent basis for all matrices of the form [binomial(n,k) * d(n-k)] which include as a subset the invertible associated matrices of the list partition transform (LPT) of A133314.
For sequences with b(0) = 1, umbrally,
M[b(.)] = exp(b(.)*T) = [ binomial(n,k) * b(n-k) ] = matrices associated to b by LPT.
[M[b(.)]]^(-1) = exp(c(.)*T) = [ binomial(n,k) * c(n-k) ] = matrices associated to c, where c = LPT(b) . Or,
[M[b(.)]]^(-1) = exp[LPT(b(.))*T] = LPT[M(b(.))] = M[LPT(b(.))]= M[c(.)].
This is related to xDx, the iterated Laguerre transform and the general Euler transformation of a sequence through the comments in A132013 and A132014 and the relation [Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * b(n-k) * d(k)] = M(b)*d, (n-th term). See also A132382.
If b(n,x) is a binomial type Sheffer sequence, then M[b(.,x)]*s(y) = s(x+y) when s(y) = (s(0,y),s(1,y),s(2,y),...) is an array for a Sheffer sequence with the same delta operator as b(n,x) and [M[b(.,x)]]^(-1) is given by the formulas above with b(n) replaced by b(n,x) as b(0,x)=1 for a binomial-type Sheffer sequence.
T = I - A132013 and conversely A132013 = I - T, which is the matrix representation for the iterated mixed order Laguerre transform characterized in A132013 (and A132014).
(I-T)^m generates the group [A132013]^m for m = 0,1,2,... discussed in A132014.
The inverse is 1/(I-T) = I + T + T^2 + T^3 + ... = [A132013]^(-1) = A094587 with the associated sequence (0!,1!,2!,3!,...) under the LPT.
And 1/(I-T)^2 = I + 2*T + 3*T^2 + 4*T^3 + ... = [A132013]^(-2) = A132159 with the associated sequence (1!,2!,3!,4!,...) under the LPT.
The matrix operation b = T*a can be characterized in several ways in terms of the coefficients a(n) and b(n), their o.g.f.'s A(x) and B(x), or e.g.f.'s EA(x) and EB(x).
1) b(0) = 0, b(n) = n * a(n-1),
2) B(x) = xDx A(x)
3) B(x) = x * Lag(1,-:xD:) A(x)
4) EB(x) = x * EA(x) where D is the derivative w.r.t. x, (:xD:)^j = x^j*D^j and Lag(n,x) is the Laguerre polynomial.
So the exponentiated operator can be characterized as
5) exp(t*T) A(x) = exp(t*xDx) A(x) = [Sum_{n=0,1,...} (t*x)^n * Lag(n,-:xD:)] A(x) = [exp{[t*u/(1-t*u)]*:xD:} / (1-t*u) ] A(x) (eval. at u=x) = A[x/(1-t*x)]/(1-t*x), a generalized Euler transformation for an o.g.f.,
6) exp(t*T) EA(x) = exp(t*x)*EA(x) = exp[(t+a(.))*x], gen. Euler trf. for an e.g.f.
7) exp(t*T) * a = M(t) * a = [Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * t^(n-k) * a(k)].
The umbral extension of formulas 5, 6 and 7 gives formally
8) exp[c(.)*T] A(x) = exp(c(.)*xDx) A(x) = [Sum_{n>=0} (c(.)*x)^n * Lag(n,-:xD:)] A(x) = [exp{[c(.)*u/(1-c(.)*u)]*:xD:} / (1-c(.)*u) ] A(x) (eval. at u=x) = A[x/(1-c(.)*x)]/(1-c(.)*x), where the umbral evaluation should be applied only after a power series in c is obtained,
9) exp[c(.)*T] EA(x) = exp(c(.)*x)*EA(x) = exp[(c(.)+a(.))*x]
10) exp[c(.)*T] * a = M[c(.)] * a = [Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * c(n-k) * a(k)] .
The n X n principal submatrix of T is nilpotent, in particular, [Tsub_n]^(n+1) = 0, n=0,1,2,3,....
Note (xDx)^n = x^n D^n x^n = x^n n! (:Dx:)^n/n! = x^n n! Lag(n,-:xD:).
The operator xDx is an important, classical operator explored by among others Dattoli, Al-Salam, Carlitz and Stokes and even earlier investigators.
For a recent treatment of xDx, DxD and more general operators see the paper "Laguerre-type derivatives: Dobinski relations and combinatorial identities". - Karol A. Penson, Sep 15 2009

From Tom Copeland, Apr 25 2014: (Start)
Conjugation or "similarity" transformations of [dP]=A132440 have an operator interpretation (cf. A074909 and A238363):
In general, select two operators A and B such that A^n = F1(n,B) and B^n = F2(n,A); then A^n = F1(n,F2(.,A)) and B^n = F2(n,F1(.,B)), evaluated umbrally, i.e., F1(n,F2(.,x))=F2(n,F1(.,x))=x^n, implying the polynomials F1 and F2 are an umbral compositional inverse pair.
One such pair are the Bell polynomials Bell(n,x) and falling factorials (x)_n with Bell(n,:xD:)=(xD)^n and (xD)_n=:xD:^n (cf. A074909). Another are the Laguerre polynomials LN(n,x)= n!*Lag(n,x) (A021009), which are umbrally self-inverse, with LN(n,-:xD:)=:Dx:^n and LN(n,:Dx:)= (-:xD:)^n with :Dx:^n=D^n*x^n.
Evaluating, for n>=0, the operator derivative d(B^n)/dA = d(F2(n,A))/dA in the basis B^n, i.e., with A^n finally replaced by F1(n,B), or A^n=F1(.,B)^n=F1(n,B), is equivalent to the matrix conjugation
A) [F2]*[dP]*[F1]
B) = [F2]*[dP]*[F2]^(-1)
C) = [F1]^(-1)*[dP]*[F1],
where [F1] is the lower triangular matrix with the n-th row the coefficients of F1(n,x) and analogously for [F2].
So, given the row vector Rv=(c0 c1 c2 c3 ...) and the column vector Cv(x)=(1 x x^2 x^3 ...)^Transpose, form the power series V(x)=Rv*Cv(x).
D) dV(B)/dA = Rv * [F2]*[dP]*[F1] * Cv(B).
E) With A=D and B=D, F1(n,x)=F2(n,x)=x^n and [F1]=[F2]=I. Then d(B^n)/dA = d(D^n)/dD = n * D^(n-1); therefore, consistently [F2]*[dP]*[F1] = [dP] and dV(D)/dD = Rv * [dP] * Cv(D). (End)

Formula

T = log(P) with the Pascal matrix P:=A007318. This should be read as T_N = log(P_N) with P_N the N X N matrix P, N>=2. Because P_N is lower triangular with all diagonal elements 1, the series log(1_N-(1_N-P_N)) stops after N-1 terms because (1_N-P_N)^N is the 0_N-matrix. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 14 2010
Given a polynomial sequence p_n(x) with p_0(x)=1 and the lowering and raising operators L and R defined by L p_n(x) = n * p_(n-1)(x) and R p_n(x) = p_(n+1)(x), the matrix T represents the action of R*L*R in the p_n(x) basis. For p_n(x) = x^n, L = D = d/dx and R = x. For p_n(x) = x^n/n!, L = DxD and R = D^(-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 25 2012

Without row n=0 and column m=0 this is, up to signs, the Lah triangle A008297.

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

From Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2011: (Start)
Given analytic functions F(x) and FI(x) such that F(FI(x))=FI(F(x))=x about 0, i.e., they are compositional inverses of each other, then, with g(x) = 1/dFI(x)/dx, a flow function W(s,x) can be defined with the following relations:
W(s,x) = exp(s g(x)d/dx)x = F(s+FI(x)) ,
W(s,0) = F(s) ,
W(0,x) = x ,
dW(0,x)/ds = g(x) = F'[FI(x)] , implying
dW(0,F(x))/ds = g(F(x)) = F'(x) , and
W(s,W(r,x)) = F(s+FI(F(r+FI(x)))) = F(s+r+FI(x)) = W(s+r,x) . (See MF link below.) (End)
dW(s,x)/ds - g(x)dW(s,x)/dx = 0, so (1,-g(x)) are the components of a vector orthogonal to the gradient of W and, therefore, tangent to the contour of W, at (s,x) . - Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2011
Though A139605 contains A145271, the op. of A145271 contains that of A139605 in the sense that exp(s g(x)d/dx) w(x) = w(F(s+FI(x))) = exp((exp(s g(x)d/dx)x)d/du)w(u) evaluated at u=0. This is reflected in the fact that the forest of rooted trees assoc. to (g(x)d/dx)^n, FOR_n, can be generated by removing the single trunk of the planted rooted trees of FOR_(n+1). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2011
Related to formal group laws for elliptic curves (see Hoffman). - Tom Copeland, Feb 24 2012
The functional equation W(s,x) = F(s+FI(x)), or a restriction of it, is sometimes called the Abel equation or Abel's functional equation (see Houzel and Wikipedia) and is related to Schröder's functional equation and Koenigs functions for compositional iterates (Alexander, Goryainov and Kudryavtseva). - Tom Copeland, Apr 04 2012
g(W(s,x)) = F'(s + FI(x)) = dW(s,x)/ds = g(x) dW(s,x)/dx, connecting the operators here to presentations of the Koenigs / Königs function and Loewner / Löwner evolution equations of the Contreras et al. papers. - Tom Copeland, Jun 03 2018
The autonomous differential equation above also appears with a change in variable of the form x = log(u) in the renormalization group equation, or Beta function. See Wikipedia, Zinn-Justin equations 2.10 and 3.11, and Krajewski and Martinetti equation 21. - Tom Copeland, Jul 23 2020
A variant of these partition polynomials appears on p. 83 of Petreolle et al. with the indeterminates e_n there related to those given in the examples below by e_n = n!*(n'). The coefficients are interpreted as enumerating certain types of trees. See also A190015. - Tom Copeland, Oct 03 2022

Let h(x) = log((1+a*x)/(1+b*x))/(a-b); then, g(x) = 1/(dh(x)/dx) = (1+ax)(1+bx), so (0')=1, (1')=a+b, (2')=2ab, evaluated at x=0, and higher order derivatives of g(x) vanish. Therefore, evaluated at x=0,
R^0 g(x) =  1
R^1 g(x) =  a+b
R^2 g(x) = (a+b)^2 + 2ab = a^2 + 4 ab + b^2
R^3 g(x) = (a+b)^3 + 4*(a+b)*2ab = a^3 + 11 a^2*b + 11 ab^2 + b^3
R^4 g(x) = (a+b)^4 + 11*(a+b)^2*2ab + 4*(2ab)^2
         =  a^4 + 26 a^3*b + 66 a^2*b^2 + 26 ab^3 + b^4,
etc., and these bivariate Eulerian polynomials (A008292) are the first few coefficients of h^(-1)(x) = (e^(ax) - e^(bx))/(a*e^(bx) - b*e^(ax)), the inverse of h(x). (End)

Indeterminate substitutions as illustrated in A356145 lead to [E] = [L][P] = [P][E]^(-1)[P] = [P][RT] and [E]^(-1) = [P][L] = [P][E][P] = [RT][P], where [E] contains the refined Eulerian partition polynomials of this entry; [E]^(-1), A356145, the inverse set to [E]; [P], the permutahedra polynomials of A133314; [L], the classic Lagrange inversion polynomials of A134685; and [RT], the reciprocal tangent polynomials of A356144. Since [L]^2 = [P]^2 = [RT]^2 = [I], the substitutional identity, [L] = [E][P] = [P][E]^(-1) = [RT][P], [RT] = [E]^(-1)[P] = [P][L][P] = [P][E], and [P] = [L][E] = [E][RT] = [E]^(-1)[L] = [RT][E]^(-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 05 2022

T(i,j) is the number of i-permutations of 4 objects a,b,c,d, with repetition allowed, containing j a's. - Zerinvary Lajos, Dec 21 2007
The antidiagonals of the sequence formatted as a square array (see Examples section) and summed with alternating signs gives a bisection of Fibonacci sequence, A001906. Example: 81-(27-1)=55. Similar rule applied to rows gives A000079. - Mark Dols, Sep 01 2009

T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*3^(n-k), the number of subsets of [2n] with exactly k symmetric pairs, where elements i and j of [2n] form a symmetric pair if i+j=2n+1. Equivalently, if n couples attend a (ticketed) event that offers door prizes, then the number of possible prize distributions that have exactly k couples as dual winners is T(n,k). - Dennis P. Walsh, Feb 02 2012
T(n,k) is the number of ordered pairs (A,B) of subsets of {1,2,...,n} such that the intersection of A and B contains exactly k elements. For example, T(2,1) = 6 because we have ({1},{1}); ({1},{1,2}); ({2},{2}); ({2},{1,2}); ({1,2},{1}); ({1,2},{2}). Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*k = A002697(n) (see comment there by Ross La Haye). - Geoffrey Critzer, Sep 04 2013

Examples

			Example: n = 3 offers 2^3 = 8 different binary vectors (0,0,0), (0,0,1), ..., (1,1,0), (1,1,1). a(3,2) = 9 of the 2^4 = 64 pairs have overlap k = 2: (0,1,1)*(0,1,1) = (1,0,1)*(1,0,1) = (1,1,0)*(1,1,0) = (1,1,1)*(1,1,0) = (1,1,1)*(1,0,1) = (1,1,1)*(0,1,1) = (0,1,1)*(1,1,1) = (1,0,1)*(1,1,1) = (1,1,0)*(1,1,1) = 2.
For example, T(2,1)=6 since there are 6 subsets of {1,2,3,4} that have exactly 1 symmetric pair, namely, {1,4}, {2,3}, {1,2,3}, {1,2,4}, {1,3,4}, and {2,3,4}.

Coefficients are listed in Abramowitz and Stegun order (A036036).
Given an invertible function f(t) analytic about t=0 (or a formal power series) with f(0)=0 and Df(0) not equal to 0, form h(t) = t / f(t) and let h_n denote the coefficient of t^n in h(t).
Lagrange inversion gives the compositional inverse about t=0 as g(t) = Sum_{j>=1} ( t^j * (1/j) * Sum_{permutations s with s(1) + s(2) + ... + s(j) = j - 1} h_s(1) * h_s(2) * ... * h_s(j) ) = t * T(1,1) * h_0 + Sum_{j>=2} ( t^j * Sum_{k=1..(# of partitions for j-1)} T(j,k) * H(j-1,k ; h_0,h_1,...) ), where H(j-1,k ; h_0,h_1,...) is the k-th partition for h_1 through h_(j-1) corresponding to n=j-1 on page 831 of Abramowitz and Stegun (ordered as in A&S) with (h_0)^(j-m)=(h_0)^(n+1-m) appended to each partition subsumed under n and m of A&S.

A125181 is an extended, reordered version of the above sequence, omitting the leading 1, with alternate interpretations.
If the coefficients of partitions with the same exponent for h_0 are summed within rows, A001263 is obtained, omitting the leading 1.
From identification of the elements of the inversion with those on page 25 of the Ardila et al. link, the coefficients of the irregular table enumerate non-crossing partitions on [n]. - Tom Copeland, Oct 13 2014

Operating with d/d(1') = d/d(h_1) on the n-th partition polynomial Prt(n;h_0,h_1,..,h_n) in square brackets above associated with t^(n+1) generates n * Prt(n-1;h_0,h_1,..,h_(n-1)); therefore, the polynomials are an Appell sequence of polynomials in the indeterminate h_1 when h_0=1 (a special type of Sheffer sequence).
Consequently, umbrally, [Prt(.;1,x,h_2,..) + y]^n = Prt(n;1,x+y,h_2,..); that is, Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * Prt(k;1,x,h_2,..) * y^(n-k) = Prt(n;1,x+y,h_2,..).
Or, e^(x*z) * exp[Prt(.;1,0,h_2,..) * z] = exp[Prt(.;1,x,h_2,..) * z]. Then with x = h_1 = -(1/2) * d^2[f(t)]/dt^2 evaluated at t=0, the formal Laplace transform from z to 1/t of this expression generates g(t), the comp. inverse of f(t), when h_0 = 1 = df(t)/dt eval. at t=0.
I.e., t / (1 - t*(x + Prt(.;1,0,h_2,..))) = t / (1 - t*Prt(.;1,x,h_2,..)) = g(t), interpreted umbrally, when h_0 = 1.

Connections to and between arrays associated to the Catalan (A000108 and A007317), Riordan (A005043), Fibonacci (A000045), and Fine (A000957) numbers and to lattice paths, e.g., the Motzkin, Dyck, and Łukasiewicz, can be made explicit by considering the inverse in x of the o.g.f. of A104597(x,-t), i.e., f(x) = P(Cinv(x),t-1) = Cinv(x) / (1 + (t-1)*Cinv(x)) = x*(1-x) / (1 + (t-1)*x*(1-x)) = (x-x^2) / (1 + (t-1)*(x-x^2)), where Cinv(x) = x*(1-x) is the inverse of C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1-4*x)) / 2, a shifted o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers, and P(x,t) = x / (1+t*x) with inverse Pinv(x,t) = -P(-x,t) = x / (1-t*x). Then h(x,t) = x / f(x,t) = x * (1+(t-1)Cinv(x)) / Cinv(x) = 1 + t*x + x^2 + x^3 + ..., i.e., h_1=t and all other coefficients are 1, so the inverse of f(x,t) in x, which is explicitly in closed form finv(x,t) = C(Pinv(x,t-1)), is given by A091867, whose coefficients are sums of the refined Narayana numbers above obtained by setting h_1=(1')=t in the partition polynomials and all other coefficients to one. The group generators C(x) and P(x,t) and their inverses allow associations to be easily made between these classic number arrays. - Tom Copeland, Nov 03 2014

Inverting in x with t a parameter, let F(x;t,n) = x - t*x^(n+1). Then h(x) = x / F(x;t,n) = 1 / (1-t*x^n) = 1 + t*x^n + t^2*x^(2n) + t^3*x^(3n) + ..., so h_k vanishes unless k = m*n with m an integer in which case h_k = t^m.
Finv(x;t,n) = Sum_{j>=0} {binomial((n+1)*j,j) / (n*j + 1)} * t^j * x^(n*j + 1), which gives the Catalan numbers for n=1, and the Fuss-Catalan sequences for n>1 (see A001764, n=2). [Added braces to disambiguate the formula. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 20 2015]
This relation reveals properties of the partitions and sums of the coefficients of the array. For n=1, h_k = t^k for all k, implying that the row sums are the Catalan numbers. For n = 2, h_k for k odd vanishes, implying that there are no blocks with only even-indexed h_k on the even-numbered rows and that only the blocks containing only even-sized bins contribute to the odd-row sums giving the Fuss-Catalan numbers for n=2. And so on, for n > 2.
These relations are reflected in any combinatorial structures enumerated by this array and the partitions, such as the noncrossing partitions depicted for a five-element set (a pentagon) in Wikipedia.

An Appell sequence possesses an umbral inverse sequence (cf. A249548). The partition polynomials here, Prt(n;1,h_1,...), are an Appell sequence in the indeterminate h_1=u, so have an e.g.f. exp[Prt(.;1,u,h_2...)*t] = e^(u*t) * exp[Prt(.;1,0,h2,...)*t] with umbral inverses with an e.g.f e^(-u*t) / exp[Prt(.;1,0,h2,...)*t]. This makes contact with the formalism of A133314 (cf. also A049019 and A019538) and the signed, refined face partition polynomials of the permutahedra (or their duals), which determine the reciprocal of exp[Prt(.,0,u,h2...)*t] (cf. A249548) or exp[Prt(.;1,u,h2,...)*t], forming connections among the combinatorics of permutahedra and the noncrossing partitions, Dyck paths and trees (cf. A125181), and many other important structures isomorphic to the partitions of this entry, as well as to formal cumulants through A127671 and algebraic structures of Lie algebras. (Cf. relationship of permutahedra with the Eulerians A008292.)

The n-th row multiplied by n gives the number of terms in the homogeneous symmetric monomials generated by [x(1) + x(2) + ... + x(n+1)]^n under the umbral mapping x(m)^j = h_j, for any m. E.g., [a + b + c]^2 = [a^2 + b^2 + c^2] + 2 * [a*b + a*c + b*c] is mapped to [3 * h_2] + 2 * [3 * h_1^2], and 3 * A134264(3) = 3 *(1,1)= (3,3) the number of summands in the two homogeneous polynomials in the square brackets. For n=3, [a + b + c + d]^3 = [a^3 + b^3 + ...] + 3 [a*b^2 + a*c^2 + ...] + 6 [a*b*c + a*c*d + ...] maps to [4 * h_3] + 3 [12 * h_1 * h_2] + 6 [4 * (h_1)^3], and the number of terms in the brackets is given by 4 * A134264(4) = 4 * (1,3,1) = (4,12,4).
The further reduced expression is 4 h_3 + 36 h_1 h_2 + 24 (h_1)^3 = A248120(4) with h_0 = 1. The general relation is n * A134264(n) = A248120(n) / A036038(n-1) where the arithmetic is performed on the coefficients of matching partitions in each row n.
Abramowitz and Stegun give combinatorial interpretations of A036038 and relations to other number arrays.
This can also be related to repeated umbral composition of Appell sequences and topology with the Bernoulli numbers playing a special role. See the Todd class link.

Speicher has examples of the first four inversion partition polynomials on pp. 22 and 23 with his k_n equivalent to h_n = (n') here with h_0 = 1. Identifying z = t, C(z) = t/f(t) = h(t), and M(z) = f^(-1)(t)/t, then statement (3), on p. 43, of Theorem 3.26, C(z M(z)) = M(z), is equivalent to substituting f^(-1)(t) for t in t/f(t), and statement (4), M(z/C(z)) = C(z), to substituting f(t) for t in f^(-1)(t)/t. - Tom Copeland, Dec 08 2021
Given a Laurent series of the form f(z) = 1/z + h_1 + h_2 z + h_3 z^2 + ..., the compositional inverse is f^(-1)(z) = 1/z + Prt(1;1,h_1)/z^2 + Prt(2;1,h_1,h_2)/z^3 + ... = 1/z + h_1/z^2 + (h_1^2 + h_2)/z^3 + (h_1^3 + 3 h_1 h_2 + h_3)/z^4 + (h_1^4 + 6 h_1^2 h_2 + 4 h_1 h_3 + 2 h_2^2 + h_4)/z^5 + ... for which the polynomials in the numerators are the partition polynomials of this entry. For example, this formula applied to the q-expansion of Klein's j-invariant / function with coefficients A000521, related to monstrous moonshine, gives the compositional inverse with the coefficients A091406 (see He and Jejjala). - Tom Copeland, Dec 18 2021

Examples

			1) With f(t) = t / (t-1), then h(t) = -(1-t), giving h_0 = -1, h_1 = 1 and h_n = 0 for n>1. Then g(t) = -t - t^2 - t^3 - ... = t / (t-1).
2) With f(t) = t*(1-t), then h(t) = 1 / (1-t), giving h_n = 1 for all n. The compositional inverse of this f(t) is g(t) = t*A(t) where A(t) is the o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers; therefore the sum over k of T(j,k), i.e., the row sum, is the Catalan number A000108(j-1).
3) With f(t) = (e^(-a*t)-1) / (-a), h(t) = Sum_{n>=0} Bernoulli(n) * (-a*t)^n / n! and g(t) = log(1-a*t) / (-a) = Sum_{n>=1} a^(n-1) * t^n / n. Therefore with h_n = Bernoulli(n) * (-a)^n / n!, Sum_{permutations s with s(1)+s(2)+...+s(j)=j-1} h_s(1) * h_s(2) * ... * h_s(j) = j * Sum_{k=1..(# of partitions for j-1)} T(j,k) * H(j-1,k ; h_0,h_1,...) = a^(j-1). Note, in turn, Sum_{a=1..m} a^(j-1) = (Bernoulli(j,m+1) - Bernoulli(j)) / j for the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, for j>1.
4) With f(t,x) = t / (x-1+1/(1-t)), then h(t,x) = x-1+1/(1-t), giving (h_0)=x and (h_n)=1 for n>1. Then g(t,x) = (1-(1-x)*t-sqrt(1-2*(1+x)*t+((x-1)*t)^2)) / 2, a shifted o.g.f. in t for the Narayana polynomials in x of A001263.
5) With h(t)= o.g.f. of A075834, but with A075834(1)=2 rather than 1, which is the o.g.f. for the number of connected positroids on [n] (cf. Ardila et al., p. 25), g(t) is the o.g.f. for A000522, which is the o.g.f. for the number of positroids on [n]. (Added Oct 13 2014 by author.)
6) With f(t,x) = x / ((1-t*x)*(1-(1+t)*x)), an o.g.f. for A074909, the reverse face polynomials of the simplices, h(t,x) = (1-t*x) * (1-(1+t)*x) with h_0=1, h_1=-(1+2*t), and h_2=t*(1+t), giving as the inverse in x about 0 the o.g.f. (1+(1+2*t)*x-sqrt(1+(1+2*t)*2*x+x^2)) / (2*t*(1+t)*x) for signed A033282, the reverse face polynomials of the Stasheff polytopes, or associahedra. Cf. A248727. (Added Jan 21 2015 by author.)
7) With f(x,t) = x / ((1+x)*(1+t*x)), an o.g.f. for the polynomials (-1)^n * (1 + t + ... + t^n), h(t,x) = (1+x) * (1+t*x) with h_0=1, h_1=(1+t), and h_2=t, giving as the inverse in x about 0 the o.g.f. (1-(1+t)*x-sqrt(1-2*(1+t)*x+((t-1)*x)^2)) / (2*x*t) for the Narayana polynomials A001263. Cf. A046802. (Added Jan 24 2015 by author.)

Formula

For j>1, there are P(j,m;a...) = j! / [ (j-m)! (a_1)! (a_2)! ... (a_(j-1))! ] permutations of h_0 through h_(j-1) in which h_0 is repeated (j-m) times; h_1, repeated a_1 times; and so on with a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_(j-1) = m.
If, in addition, a_1 + 2 * a_2 + ... + (j-1) * a_(j-1) = j-1, then each distinct combination of these arrangements is correlated with a partition of j-1.
T(j,k) is [ P(j,m;a...) / j ] for the k-th partition of j-1 as described in the comments.
For example from g(t) above, T(5,4) = (5! / ((5-3)! * 2!)) / 5 = 6 for the 4th partition under n=5-1=4 with m=3 parts in A&S.

Poly[n;h_0,...,h_(n-1)]=(1/n!)(W(x)*d/dx)^n x, evaluated at x=0, and the compositional inverse of f(t) is g(t) = exp(t*W(x)*d/dx) x, evaluated at x=0. Also, dg(t)/dt = W(g(t)), and g(t) gives A001263 with (h_0)=u and (h_n)=1 for n>0 and A000108 with u=1.

The coefficients of the Faber polynomials F(n,b(1),b(2),...,b(n)) (Bouali, p. 52) in the order of the partitions of Abramowitz and Stegun. Compare with A115131 and A210258.
These polynomials occur in discussions of the Virasoro algebra, univalent function spaces and the Schwarzian derivative, symmetric functions, and free probability theory. They are intimately related to symmetric functions, free probability, and Appell sequences through the raising operator R = x - d log(H(D))/dD for the Appell sequence inverse pair associated to the e.g.f.s H(t)e^(xt) (cf. A094587) and (1/H(t))e^(xt) with H(0)=1.
Instances of the Faber polynomials occur in discussions of modular invariants and modular functions in the papers by Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya, by Ono and Rolen, and by Zagier. - Tom Copeland, Aug 13 2019
The Faber polynomials, denoted by s_n(a(t)) where a(t) is a formal power series defined by a product formula, are implicitly defined by equation 13.4 on p. 62 of Hazewinkel so as to extract the power sums of the reciprocals of the zeros of a(t). This is the Newton identity expressing the power sum symmetric polynomials in terms of the elementary symmetric polynomials/functions. - Tom Copeland, Jun 06 2020

B) ordinary generating function (o.g.f.), or formal power series: f(x) = 1/(1-b.x) = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} b_n * x^n
C) logarithmic generating function (l.g.f): f(x) = 1 - log(1 - c.x) = 1 + Sum_{n > 0} c_n * x^n /n.
Expansions of log(f(x)) are given in
I) A127671 and A263634 for the e.g.f: log[ e^{a.*x} ] = e^{L.(a_1,a_2,...)x} = Sum_{n > 0} L_n(a_1,...,a_n) * x^n/n!, the logarithmic polynomials, cumulant expansion polynomials
II) A263916 for the o.g.f.: log[ 1/(1-b.x) ] = log[ 1 - F.(b_1,b_2,...)x ] = -Sum_{n > 0} F_n(b_1,...,b_n) * x^n/n, the Faber polynomials.
Expansions of exp(f(x)-1) are given in
III) A036040 for an e.g.f: exp[ e^{a.x} - 1 ] = e^{BELL.(a_1,...)x}, the Bell/Touchard/exponential partition polynomials, a.k.a. the Stirling partition polynomials of the second kind
IV) A130561 for an o.g.f.: exp[ b.x/(1-b.x) ] = e^{LAH.(b.,...)x}, the Lah partition polynomials
V) A036039 for an l.g.f.: exp[ -log(1-c.x) ] = e^{CIP.(c_1,...)x}, the cycle index polynomials of the symmetric groups S_n, a.k.a. the Stirling partition polynomials of the first kind.
Since exp and log are a compositional inverse pair, one can extract the indeterminates of the log set of partition polynomials from the exp set and vice versa. For a discussion of the relations among these polynomials and the combinatorics of connected and disconnected graphs/maps, see Novak and LaCroix on classical moments and cumulants and the two books on statistical mechanics referenced in A036040.

-log(1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...) = Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) * x^n/n.
-d(1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...)/dx / (1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...) = Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) x^(n-1).
F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) = -n*b(n) - Sum_{k=1..n-1} b(n-k)*F(k,b(1),...,b(k)).
Umbrally, with B(x) = 1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ..., B(x) = exp[log(1-F.x)] and 1/B(x) = exp[-log(1-F.x)], establishing a connection to the e.g.f. of A036039 and the symmetric polynomials.
The Stirling partition polynomials of the first kind St1(n,b1,b2,...,bn;-1) = IF(n,b1,b2,...,bn) (cf. the Copeland link Lagrange a la Lah, signed A036039, and p. 184 of Airault and Bouali), i.e., the cyclic partition polynomials for the symmetric groups, and the Faber polynomials form an inverse pair for isolating the indeterminates in their definition, for example, F(3,IF(1,b1),IF(2,b1,b2)/2!,IF(3,b1,b2,b3)/3!)= b3, with bk = b(k), and IF(3,F(1,b1),F(2,b1,b2),F(3,b1,b2,b3))/3!= b3.
The polynomials specialize to F(n,t,t,...) = (1-t)^n - 1.
See Newton Identities on Wikipedia on relation between the power sum symmetric polynomials and the complete homogeneous and elementary symmetric polynomials for an expression in multinomials for the coefficients of the Faber polynomials.
(n-1)! F(n,x[1],x[2]/2!,...,x[n]/n!) = - p_n(x[1],...,x[n]), where p_n are the cumulants of A127671 expressed in terms of the moments x[n]. - Tom Copeland, Nov 17 2015
-(n-1)! F(n,B(1,x[1]),B(2,x[1],x[2])/2!,...,B(n,x[1],...,x[n])/n!) = x[n] provides an extraction of the indeterminates of the complete Bell partition polynomials B(n,x[1],...,x[n]) of A036040. Conversely, IF(n,-x[1],-x[2],-x[3]/2!,...,-x[n]/(n-1)!) = B(n,x[1],...,x[n]). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2015
For a square matrix M, determinant(I - x M) = exp[-Sum_{k>0} (trace(M^k) x^k / k)] = Sum_{n>0} [ P_n(-trace(M),-trace(M^2),...,-trace(M^n)) x^n/n! ] = 1 + Sum_{n>0} (d[n] x^n), where P_n(x[1],...,x[n]) are the cycle index partition polynomials of A036039 and d[n] = P_n(-trace(M),-trace(M^2),...,-trace(M^n)) / n!. Umbrally, det(I - x M)= exp[log(1 - b. x)] = exp[P.(-b_1,..,-b_n)x] = 1 / (1-d.x), where b_k = tr(M^k). Then F(n,d[1],...,d[n]) = tr[M^n]. - Tom Copeland, Dec 04 2015
Given f(x) = -log(g(x)) = -log(1 + b(1) x + b(2) x^2 + ...) = Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) * x^n/n, action on u_n = F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) with A133932 gives the compositional inverse finv(x) of f(x), with F(1,b(1)) not equal to zero, and f(g(finv(x))) = f(e^(-x)). Note also that exp(f(x)) = 1 / g(x) = exp[Sum_{n>=1} F(n,b(1),...,b(n)) * x^n/n] implies relations among A036040, A133314, A036039, and the Faber polynomials. - Tom Copeland, Dec 16 2015
The Dress and Siebeneicher paper gives combinatorial interpretations and various relations that the Faber polynomials must satisfy for integral values of its arguments. E.g., Eqn. (1.2) p. 2 implies [2 * F(1,-1) + F(2,-1,b2) + F(4,-1,b2,b3,b4)] mod(4) = 0. This equation implies that [F(n,b1,b2,...,bn)-(-b1)^n] mod(n) = 0 for n prime. - Tom Copeland, Feb 01 2016
With the elementary Schur polynomials S(n,a_1,a_2,...,a_n) = Lah(n,a_1,a_2,...,a_n) / n!, where Lah(n,...) are the refined Lah polynomials of A130561, F(n,S(1,a_1),S(2,a_1,a_2),...,S(n,a_1,...,a_n)) = -n * a_n since sum_{n > 0} a_n x^n = log[sum{n >= 0} S(n,a_1,...,a_n) x^n]. Conversely, S(n,-F(1,a_1),-F(2,a_1,a_2)/2,...,-F(n,a_1,...,a_n)/n) = a_n. - Tom Copeland, Sep 07 2016
See Corollary 3.1.3 on p. 38 of Ardila and Copeland's two MathOverflow links to relate the Faber polynomials, with arguments being the signed elementary symmetric polynomials, to the logarithm of determinants, traces of powers of an adjacency matrix, and number of walks on graphs. - Tom Copeland, Jan 02 2017

Formula

For n >= 2, A006351(n) = 2*A000311(n) = A005640(n)/2^n. Row sums of A140945.
E.g.f. is reversion of 2*log(1+x)-x.
Also exponential transform of A000311, define b by 1+sum b_n x^n / n! = exp ( 1 + sum a_n x^n /n!).
E.g.f.: A(x), B(x)=x*A(x) satisfies the differential equation B'(x)=(1+B(x))/(1-B(x)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 18 2011
From Peter Bala, Sep 05 2011: (Start)
The generating function A(x) satisfies the autonomous differential equation A'(x) = (1+A)/(1-A) with A(0) = 0. Hence the inverse function A^-1(x) = int {t = 0..x} (1-t)/(1+t) = 2*log(1+x)-x, which yields A(x) = -1-2*W(-1/2*exp((x-1)/2)), where W is the Lambert W function.
The expansion of A(x) can be found by inverting the above integral using the method of [Dominici, Theorem 4.1] to arrive at the result a(n) = D^(n-1)(1) evaluated at x = 0, where D denotes the operator g(x) -> d/dx((1+x)/(1-x)*g(x)). Compare with A032188.
Applying [Bergeron et al., Theorem 1] to the result x = int {t = 0..A(x)} 1/phi(t), where phi(t) = (1+t)/(1-t) = 1 + 2*t + 2*t^2 + 2*t^3 + ..., leads to the following combinatorial interpretation for the sequence: a(n) gives the number of plane increasing trees on n vertices where each vertex of outdegree k >=1 can be in one of 2 colors. An example is given below. (End)
A134991 gives (b.+c.)^n = 0^n , for (b_n)=A000311(n+1) and (c_0)=1, (c_1)=-1, and (c_n)=-2* A000311(n) = -A006351(n) otherwise. E.g., umbrally, (b.+c.)^2 = b_2*c_0 + 2 b_1*c_1 + b_0*c_2 =0. - Tom Copeland, Oct 19 2011

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

Inverses of padded matrices are just the padded versions of inverses of the unpadded matrices.

Sum_{k=0..n} 2^(n-k)*T(n,k) = A007047(n).
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, n-k) = A000522(n).
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n-k, k) = Sum_{k=0..n} (n - k)^k = A026898(n-1) for n >= 1.
Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n, k) = A036919(n) = floor(n*n!*e/2).
