FORMULA

T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j*C(k, j)*(k+2-j)^n.

T(n+1, k) = k*T(n, k-1) + (k+2)*T(n, k), T(0,0) = 1, T(0,k) = 0 for k>0.

E.g.f.: exp(2*x)/(1+y*(1-exp(x))). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 21 2003

A038719 as a lower triangular matrix is the binomial transform of A028246. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 15 2005

Binomial transform of n-th row = 2^n + 3^n + 4^n...; e.g. binomial transform of [8, 19, 18, 6] = 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3... = 8, 27, 64, 125... - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 15 2005

MATHEMATICA

t[n_, k_] := Sum[ (-1)^(k-i)*Binomial[k, i]*(2+i)^n, {i, 0, k}]; Flatten[ Table[ t[n, k], {n, 0, 9}, {k, 0, n}]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, after Pari *)

PROG

(PARI) T(n, k)=sum(i=0, k, (-1)^(k-i)*binomial(k, i)*(2+i)^n)

CROSSREFS

Row sums give A007047. Columns give A000079, A001047, A038721. Next-to-last diagonal gives A038720.
