FORMULA

E.g.f.: arctan(x)^k/k!=sum {n=0..inf} T(m, [ k+1 ]/2) x^m/m! where m=2n+k%2.

EXAMPLE

1; 0,1; -2,0,1; 0,-8,0,1; 24,0,-200,0,1; 0,184,0,-40,0,1; ...

MATHEMATICA

t[n_, k_] := (-1)^((3*n+k)/2)*n!/2^k*Sum[2^i*Binomial[n-1, i-1]*StirlingS1[i, k]/i!, {i, k, n}]; Flatten[Table[t[n, k], {n, 1, 11}, {k, 2-Mod[n, 2], n, 2}]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Aug 31 2011, after V. Kruchinin *)

PROG

(PARI) T(n, k)=polcoeff(serlaplace(a(2*k-n%2)), n) where a(n)=atan(x)^n/n!
