%N Generalized Stirling number triangle of first kind.
%C a(n,m)= ^4P_n^m in the notation of the given reference with a(0,0) := 1.
%C The monic row polynomials s(n,x) := sum(a(n,m)*x^m,m=0..n) which are s(n,x)= product(x-(4+k),k=0..n-1), n >= 1 and s(0,x)=1 satisfy s(n,x+y) = sum(binomial(n,k)*s(k,x)*S1(n-k,y),k=0..n), with the Stirling1 polynomials S1(n,x)=sum(A008275(n,m)*x^m, m=1..n) and S1(0,x)=1.
%C In the umbral calculus (see the S. Roman reference given in A048854) the s(n,x) polynomials are called Sheffer for (exp(4*t),exp(t)-1).
%C See A143493 for the unsigned version of this array and A143496 for the inverse. - _Peter Bala_, Aug 25 2008
