COMMENTS

Row sums (unsigned) give A007840(n), n>=1; (signed): A006252(n), n>=1.

Apart from signs, coefficients in expansion of n-th derivative of 1/log(x).

FORMULA

a(n, k)= k*a(n-1, k-1)-(n-1)*a(n-1, k) if n>=k>=1, a(n, 0) := 0 and a(1, 1)=1, else 0.

E.g.f. k-th column: log(1+x)^k, k>=1.

From Peter Bala, Nov 25 2011: (Start):

E.g.f.: 1/(1-t*log(1+x)) = 1 + t*x + (-t+2*t^2)*x^2/2! + ....

The row polynomials are given by D^n(1/(1-x*t)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator exp(-x)*d/dx.

(End)
