COMMENTS

The g.f. for column k=2*K is (x^K)*pe(K,x)*d(k,x) and for k=2*K+1 it is (x^K)*po(K,x)*2*(K+1)*K*d(k,x), K>= 1, with d(k,x) := 1/product(1-p*(p-1)*x,p=2..k) and the row polynomials pe(n,x) := sum(A089275(n,m)*x^m,m=0..n-1) and po(n,x) := sum(A089276(n,m)*x^m,m=0..n-1). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 07 2003

The formula for the k-th column sequence is given in A089511.

FORMULA

a(n, k)=sum(binomial(k-2+p, p)*A008279(2, p)*a(n-1, k-2+p), p=0..2) if 2 <= k <= 2*n for n>=1, a(1, 2)=1; else 0. Here A008279(2, p) gives the third row (k=2) of the augmented falling factorial triangle: [1, 2, 2] for p=0, 1, 2. From eq.(21) with r=2 of the Blasiak et al. paper.

a(n, k)= (((-1)^k)/k!)*sum(((-1)^p)*binomial(k, p)*A008279(p, 2)^n, p=2..k) for 2 <= k <= 2*n, n>=1. From eq.(19) with r=2 of the Blasiak et al. paper.

a(n, k)= sum(A071951(n, j)*A089503(j, 2*j-k+1), j=ceiling(k/2)..min(n, k-1)), 1<=n, 2<=k<=2n; relation to Legendre-Stirling triangle. Wolfdieter Lang (wolfdieter.lang_AT_physik_DOT_uni-karlsruhe_DOT_de), Dec 01 2003

a(n, k) = A122193(n,k)*2^n/k! - Peter Luschny, Mar 25 2011

E^n = sum_{k=2}^(2n) a(n,k)*x^k*D^k where D is the operator d/dx, and E the operator x^2d^2/dx^2.

EXAMPLE

MAPLE

# Note that the function implements the full triangle because it can be

# much better reused and referenced in this form.

A078739 := proc(n, k) local r;

add((-1)^(n-r)*binomial(n, r)*combinat[stirling2](n+r, k), r=0..n) end:

# Displays the truncated triangle from the definition:

seq(print(seq(A078739(n, k), k=2..2*n)), n=1..6); # - Peter Luschny, Mar 25 2011
