%N Triangle of coefficients from fractional iteration of e^x - 1.

%C The triangle reflects the Jordan-decomposition of the matrix of Stirling numbers of the second kind. A display of the matrix formula can be found at the Helms link which also explains the generation rule for the A()-numbers in a different way. - _Gottfried Helms_ Apr 19 2014

%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Jan 02 2020: (Start)

%C Also the number of balanced reduced multisystems with atoms {1..n} and depth k. A balanced reduced multisystem is either a finite multiset, or a multiset partition with at least two parts, not all of which are singletons, of a balanced reduced multisystem. For example, row n = 4 counts the following multisystems:

%C {1,2,3,4} {{1},{2,3,4}} {{{1}},{{2},{3,4}}}

%C {{1,2},{3,4}} {{{1},{2}},{{3,4}}}

%C {{1,2,3},{4}} {{{1},{2,3}},{{4}}}

%C {{1,2,4},{3}} {{{1,2}},{{3},{4}}}

%C {{1,3},{2,4}} {{{1,2},{3}},{{4}}}

%C {{1,3,4},{2}} {{{1},{2,4}},{{3}}}

%C {{1,4},{2,3}} {{{1,2},{4}},{{3}}}

%C {{1},{2},{3,4}} {{{1}},{{3},{2,4}}}

%C {{1},{2,3},{4}} {{{1},{3}},{{2,4}}}

%C Equivalently, T(n,k) is the number of length-k chains from minimum to maximum in the lattice of set partitions of {1..n} ordered by refinement. For example, row n = 4 counts the following chains, leaving out the minimum {1|2|3|4} and maximum {1234}:

%C (empty) {12|3|4} {12|3|4} < {123|4}

%C {13|2|4} {12|3|4} < {124|3}

%C {14|2|3} {12|3|4} < {12|34}

%C {1|23|4} {13|2|4} < {123|4}

%C {1|24|3} {13|2|4} < {134|2}

%C {1|2|34} {13|2|4} < {13|24}

%C {123|4} {14|2|3} < {124|3}

%C {124|3} {14|2|3} < {134|2}

%C {134|2} {14|2|3} < {14|23}

%C {1|234} {1|23|4} < {123|4}

%C {12|34} {1|23|4} < {1|234}

%C {13|24} {1|23|4} < {14|23}

%C {14|23} {1|24|3} < {124|3}

%C {1|24|3} < {1|234}

%C {1|24|3} < {13|24}

%C {1|2|34} < {134|2}

%C {1|2|34} < {1|234}
