COMMENTS

The (reverse) Bessel polynomials P(n,x):=sum(a(n,m)*x^m,m=0..n), the row polynomials, called Theta_n(x) in the Grosswald reference, solve x*diff(P(n,x),x$2)-2*(x+n)*diff(P(n,x),x)+2*n*P(n,x)) = 0.

With the related Sheffer associated polynomials defined by Carlitz as

B(0,x) = 1

B(1,x) = x

B(2,x) = x + x^2

B(3,x) = 3 x + 3 x^2 + x^3

B(4,x) = 15 x + 15 x^2 + 6 x^3 + x^4

... (see Mathworld reference), then P(n,x) = 2^n * B(n,x/2) are the Sheffer polynomials described in A119274. - Tom Copeland, Feb 10 2008

Exponential Riordan array [1/sqrt(1-2x),1-sqrt(1-2x)]. [From Paul Barry, Jul 27 2010]

Contribution from Vladimir, Mar 18 2011 (Start)

For B(n,k){...} the Bell polynomial of the second kind we have

B(n,k){f',f'',f''',...}=T(n+1,k+1)*(1-2*x)^(k/2-n), where f(x)=(1-sqrt(1-2*x)

The expansions of the first few rows are:

1/sqrt(1-2*x);

1/(1-2*x)^(3/2), 1/(1-2*x);

3/(1-2*x)^(5/2), 3/(1-2*x)^2, 1/(1-2*x)^(3/2);

15/(1-2*x)^(7/2),15/(1-2*x)^3, 6/(1-2*x)^(5/2), 1/(1-2*x)^2]; (End)

FORMULA

a(n, m)=(2*n-m)!/(m!*(n-m)!*2^(n-m)) if n >= m >= 0 else 0 (from Grosswald, p. 7).

a(n, m)= 0, n<m; a(n, -1) := 0; a(0, 0)= 1; a(n, m) = (2*n-m-1)*a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1), n >= m >= 0 (from Grosswald p. 23, (19)).

E.g.f. for m-th column: ((1-sqrt(1-2*x))^m)/(m!*sqrt(1-2*x)).
