Comments

Original name: A Jabotinsky-triangle related to A006963.

i) This triangle gives the nonvanishing entries of the Jabotinsky matrix for F(z) = c(z) with c(z) the g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108. (Notation of F(z) as in Knuth's paper).

ii) E(n, x) = Sum_{m=1..n} a(n, m)*x^m, E(0, x) = 1, are exponential convolution polynomials: E(n, x + y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*E(k, x)*E(n-k, y), (cf. Knuth's paper with E(n, x)= n!*F(n, x).)

iii) Explicit formula: see Knuth's paper for f(n, m) formula with f(k) = A006963(k + 1).

Bell polynomial of second kind for log(A000108(x)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 26 2013

Also the Bell transform of A006963(n+2). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 28 2016

Formula

a(n, 1) = A006963(n + 1) = (2*n - 1)!/n!, n >= 1;

a(n, m) = Sum_{j=1..n-m+1} binomial(n - 1, j - 1)*A006963(j + 1)*a(n - j, m - 1), n >= m >= 2.
