EXAMPLE

1; 1,1; 1,5,1; 1,14,21,1; 1,30,147,85,1; ...

MAPLE

A036969 := proc(n, k) local j; 2*add(j^(2*n)*(-1)^(k-j)/((k-j)!*(k+j)!), j=1..k); end; # Gives rows of triangle in reversed order

MATHEMATICA

t[n_, n_] = t[n_, 1] = 1;

t[n_, k_] := t[n-1, k-1] + k^2 t[n-1, k];

Flatten[Table[t[n, k], {n, 1, 10}, {k, n, 1, -1}]][[1 ;; 50]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jun 16 2011 *)
