FORMULA

T(n+1, k) = T(n, k-1) + k*(k+1)*T(n, k+1), T(n, n) = 1.

If n+k is odd, T(n,k) = 0 = (-1)^((n+k)/2)*sum{j=k..n} (j!/n!) *stirling2(n,j) *2^(n-j) *(-1)^(n+j-k) *binomial(j-1,k-1). [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 10 2011]

E.g.f.: exp(t*tan(x))-1 = t*x+t^2*x^2/2!+(2*t+t^3)*x^3/3!+....

The row polynomials are given by D^n(exp(x*t)) evaluated at x = 0, where D is the operator (1+x^2)*d/dx. - Peter Bala, Nov 25 2011

MATHEMATICA

d[f_ ] := (1+x^2)*D[f, x]; d[ f_, n_] := Nest[d, f, n]; row[n_] := Rest[ CoefficientList[ d[Exp[x*t], n] /. x -> 0, t]]; Flatten[ Table[ row[n], {n, 1, 12}]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Dec 21 2011, after Peter Bala *)

PROG

CROSSREFS

Diagonals give A000182, A024283, A059420 (interspersed with 0's), also A007290, A059421. Row sums give A006229. Essentially the same triangle as A008308.

A111593 (signed triangle with extra column k=0 and row n=0).
