COMMENTS

The sequence of row lengths for this array is [1,4,7,10,..]= A016777(n-1), n>=1.

The g.f. for the k-th column, (with leading zeros and k>=3) is G(k,x)= x^ceiling(k/3)*P(k,x)/product(1-fallfac(p,3)*x,p=3..k), with fallfac(n,m) := A008279(n,m) (falling factorials) and P(k,x) := sum(A089517(k,m)*x^m,m=0..kmax(k)), k>=3, with kmax(k) := A004523(k-3)= floor(2*(k-3)/3)= [0,0,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,...]. For the recurrence of the G(k,x) see A089517. Wolfdieter Lang (wolfdieter.lang_AT_physik_DOT_uni-karlsruhe_DOT_de), Dec 01 2003

For the computation of the k-th column sequence see A090219.

FORMULA

a(n, k)= (((-1)^k)/k!)*sum(((-1)^p)* binomial(k, p)*fallfac(p, 3)^n, p=3..k), with fallfac(p, 3) := A008279(p, 3)=p*(p-1)*(p-2); 3<= k <= 3*n, n>=1, else 0. From eq.(19) with r=3 of the Blasiak et al. reference.

E^n = sum_{k=3}^(3n) a(n,k)*x^k*D^k where D is the operator d/dx, and E the operator x^3d^3/dx^3.
