COMMENTS

Triangle a(n,k) read by rows; given by [1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 1,...] DELTA [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ...] where DELTA is Deleham's operator defined in A084938.

Exponential Riordan array [exp(exp(x)-1), exp(x)-1]. [From Paul Barry, Jan 12 2009]

Equal to A048993*A007318. - From DELEHAM Philippe, Oct 31 2011

FORMULA

a(n, k) = a(n-1, k-1)+(k+1)*a(n-1, k)+(k+1)*a(n-1, k+1), n >= 1.

a(n, k) = sum(i=0..n, stirling2(n, i)*binomial(i, k) ). E.g.f. for the k-th column is (1/k!) *(exp(x)-1)^k*exp(exp(x)-1) - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jan 27 2001

G.f.: 1/(1-x-xy-x^2(1+y)/(1-2x-xy-2x^2(1+y)/(1-3x-xy-3x^2(1+y)/(1-4x-xy-4x^2(1+y)/(1-... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry, Apr 29 2009]

MATHEMATICA

a[n_, k_] = Sum[StirlingS2[n, i]*Binomial[i, k], {i, 0, n}]; Flatten[Table[a[n, k], {n, 0, 9}, {k, 0, n}]]

PROG

(PARI) T(n, k)=if(k<0|k>n, 0, n!*polcoeff(polcoeff(exp((1+y)*(exp(x+x*O(x^n))-1)), n), k))
