FORMULA

E.g.f. for a(n, k): (1/k!)[ (1+x)*ln(1+x) ]^k. - Leonard Smiley (smiley(AT)math.uaa.alaska.edu)

Left edge is (-1)*n!, for n >= 2. Right edge is all 1's.

a(n+1, k) = n*a(n-1, k-1) + a(n, k-1) + (k-n)*a(n, k).

a(n, k) = Sum_{l} binomial(l, k)*k^(l-k)*stirling1(n, l).

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

1;

1,1;

-1,3,1;

2,-1,6,1;

-6,0,5,10,1;

24,4,-15,25,15,1;

...

MAPLE

with(combinat): for n from 1 to 20 do for k from 1 to n do printf(`%d, `, sum(binomial(l, k)*k^(l-k)*stirling1(n, l), l=k..n)) od: od:

MATHEMATICA

a[1, 1] = a[2, 1] = 1; a[n_, 1] = (-1)^n (n-2)!;

a[n_, n_] = 1; a[n_, k_] := a[n, k] = (n-1) a[n-2, k-1] + a[n-1, k-1] + (k-n+1) a[n-1, k]; Flatten[Table[a[n, k], {n, 1, 12}, {k, 1, n}]][[1 ;; 67]]

PROG

(PARI) T(n, k)=if(k<1|k>n, 0, n!*polcoeff(((1+x)*log(1+x+x*O(x^n)))^k/k!, n))
