COMMENTS
In absolute values, this sequence also gives the lower triangular readout of the exponential of a matrix whose entry {j+1,j} equals (j-1)^2 (and all other entries are zero). - Joseph Biberstine (jrbibers(AT)indiana.edu), May 26 2006
A partial permutation on a set X is a bijection between two subsets of X. |T(n,n-k)| equals the numbers of partial permutations of an n-set having domain cardinality equal to k. Let E denote the operator D*x*D, where D is the derivative operator d/dx. Then E^n = Sum_{k = 0..n} |T(n,k)|*x^k*D^(n+k). - Peter Bala, Oct 28 2008
The unsigned triangle is the generalized Riordan array (exp(x), x) with respect to the sequence n!^2 as defined by Wang and Wang (the generalized Riordan array (exp(x), x) with respect to the sequence n! is Pascal's triangle A007318, and with respect to the sequence n!*(n+1)! is A105278). - Peter Bala, Aug 15 2013
The unsigned triangle appears on page 83 of Ser (1933). - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 16 2020

FORMULA
a(n, m) = ((-1)^m)*n!*binomial(n, m)/m! = ((-1)^m)*((n!/m!)^2)/(n-m)! if n >= m, otherwise 0.
E.g.f. for m-th column: (-x/(1-x))^m /((1-x)*m!), m >= 0.
Representation (of unsigned a(n, m)) as special values of Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1, in Maple notation: n!*(-1)^m*hypergeom([ -m, n+1 ], [ 1 ], 1)/m!. - Karol A. Penson, Oct 02 2003
Sum_{m>=0} (-1)^m*a(n, m) = A002720(n). - Philippe Deléham, Mar 10 2004
E.g.f.: (1/(1-x))*exp(x*y/(x-1)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Apr 07 2005
Sum_{n>=0, m>=0} a(n, m)*(x^n/n!^2)*y^m = exp(x)*BesselJ(0, 2*sqrt(x*y)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Apr 07 2005
Matrix square yields the identity matrix: L^2 = I. - Paul D. Hanna, Nov 22 2008

Symbolically, with D=d/dx and LN(n,x)=n!L_n(x), define :Dx:^j = D^j x^j, :xD:^j = x^j D^j, and LN(.,x)^j = LN(j,x) = row polynomials of A021009.
Then some useful relations are
1) (:Dx:)^n = LN(n,-:xD:) [Rodriguez formula]
2) (xDx)^n = x^n D^n x^n = x^n LN(n,-:xD:) [See Al-Salam ref./A132440]
3) (DxD)^n = D^n x^n D^n = LN(n,-:xD:) D^n [See ref. in A132440]
4) umbral composition LN(n,LN(.,x))= x^n [See Rota ref.]
5) umbral comp. LN(n,-:Dx:) = LN(n,-LN(.,-:xD:)) = 2^n LN(n,-:xD:/2)= n! * (n-th row e.g.f.(x) of A038207 with x replaced by :xD:).
An example for 2) is the operator (xDx)^2 = (xDx)(xDx) = xD(x^2 + x^3D)= 2x^2 + 4x^3 D + x^4 D^2 = x^2 (2 + 4x D + x^2 D^2) = x^2 (2 + 4 :xD: + :xD:^2) = x^2 LN(2,-:xD:) = x^2 2! L_2(-:xD:).
An example of the umbral composition in 5) is given in A038207.
The op. xDx is related to the Euler/binomial transformation for power series/o.g.f.s. through exp(t*xDx) f(x) = f[x/(1-t*x)]/(1-t*x) and to the special Moebius/linear fractional/projective transformation z exp(-t*zDz)(1/z)f(z) = f(z/(1+t*z)).

Standard recurrence derived from the three term recurrence of the orthogonal polynomials system {n!*L(n,x)}: L(n,x) = (2*n - 1 - x)*L(n-1,x) - (n-1)^2*L(n-2,x), n>=1, L(-1,x) = 0, L(0,x) = 1.
a(n,m) = (2*n-1)*a(n-1,m) - a(n-1,m-1) - (n-1)^2*a(n-2,m),
n >=1, with a(n,-1) = 0, a(0,0) = 1, a(n,m) = 0 if n < m. (compare this with Peter Luschny's program for the unsigned case |a(n,m)| = (-1)^m*a(n,m)).
Simplified recurrence (using column recurrence from explicit form for a(n,m) given above):
a(n,m) = (n+m)*a(n-1,m) - a(n-1,m-1), n >= 1, a(0,0) = 1, a(n,-1) = 0, a(n,m) = 0 if n < m. (End)
|T(n,k)| = [x^k] (-1)^n*U(-n,1,-x), where U(a,b,x) is Kummer's hypergeometric U function. - Peter Luschny, Apr 11 2015
T(n,k) = (-1)^k*n!*S(n,k) where S(n,k) is recursively defined by: "if k = 0 then 1 else if k > n then 0 else S(n-1,k-1)/k + S(n-1,k)". - Peter Luschny, Jun 21 2017
The unsigned case is the exponential Riordan square (see A321620) of the factorial numbers. - Peter Luschny, Dec 06 2018
Omitting the diagonal and signs, this array is generated by the commutator [D^n,x^n] = D^n x^n - x^n D^n = Sum_{i=0..n-1} ((n!/i!)^2/(n-i)!) x^i D^i on p. 9 of both papers by Belov-Kanel and Kontsevich. - Tom Copeland, Jan 23 2020

Recurrence (usual one): a(4,1) = 7*(-18) - 6 - 3^2*(-4) = -96.
Recurrence (simplified version): a(4,1) = 5*(-18) - 6 = -96.
Recurrence (Sage program): |a(4,1)| = 6 + 3*18 + 4*9 = 96. (End)
Embedded recurrence (Maple program): a(4,1) = -4!*(1 + 3) = -96.
