Reverse of A008279. Row sums are A000522. Diagonal sums are A003470. Rows of inverse matrix begin {1}, {-1,1}, {0,-2,1}, {0,0,-3,1}, {0,0,0,-4,1} ... The signed lower triangular matrix (-1)^(n+k)n!/k! has as row sums the signed rencontres numbers sum{k=0..n, (-1)^(n+k)n!/k!}. (See A000166). It has matrix inverse 1 1,1 0,2,1 0,0,3,1 0,0,0,4,1...

Exponential Riordan array [1/(1-x),x]; column k has e.g.f. x^k/(1-x). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 27 2007

Comments from Tom Copeland (tcjpn(AT)msn.com), Nov 01 2007: (Start) T is the umbral extension of n!*Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,x,-1],0] = (1-D)^(-1) x^n = (-1)^n * n! * Lag(n,x,-1-n) = sum(j=0,...,n) Binom(n,j) * j! * x^(n-j) = sum(j=0,...,n) (n!/j!) x^j. The inverse operator is A132013 with generalizations discussed in A132014.

b = T*a can be characterized several ways in terms of a(n) and b(n) or their o.g.f.'s A(x) and B(x).

1) b(n) = n! Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,a(.),-1],0], umbrally,

2) b(n) = (-1)^n n! Lag(n,a(.),-1-n)

3) b(n) = sum(j=0,...,n) (n!/j!) a(j)

4) B(x) = (1-xDx)^(-1) A(x), formally

5) B(x) = sum(j=0,1,...) (xDx)^j A(x)

6) B(x) = sum(j=0,1,...) x^j * D^j * x^j A(x)

7) B(x) = sum(j=0,1,...) j! * x^j * L(j,-:xD:,0) A(x) where Lag(n,x,m) are the Laguerre polynomials of order m, D the derivative w.r.t. x and (:xD:)^j = x^j * D^j. Truncating the operator series at the j = n term gives an o.g.f. for b(0) through b(n).

c = (0!,1!,2!,3!,4!,...) is the sequence associated to T under the list partition transform and the associated operations described in A133314 so T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*c(n-k). The reciprocal sequence is d = (1,-1,0,0,0,...). (End)

Comments from Peter Bala (pbala(AT)toucansurf.com), Jul 10 2008 (Start): This array is the particular case P(1,1) of the generalised Pascal triangle P(a,b), a lower unit triangular matrix, shown below:

n\k|0.....................1...............2.......3......4

----------------------------------------------------------

0..|1.....................................................

1..|a....................1................................

2..|a(a+b)...............2a..............1................

3..|a(a+b)(a+2b).........3a(a+b).........3a........1......

4..|a(a+b)(a+2b)(a+3b)...4a(a+b)(a+2b)...6a(a+b)...4a....1

...

The entries A(n,k) of this array satisfy the recursion A(n,k) = (a+b*(n-k-1))*A(n-1,k) + A(n-1,k-1), which reduces to the Pascal formula when a = 1, b = 0.

Various cases are recorded in the database, including: P(1,0) = Pascal's triangle A007318, P(2,0) = A038207, P(3,0) = A027465, P(2,1) = A132159, P(1,3) = A136215 and P(2,3) = A136216.

When b <> 0 the array P(a,b) has e.g.f. exp(x*y)/(1-b*y)^(a/b) = 1 + (a+x)*y + (a*(a+b)+2a*x+x^2)*y^2/2! + (a*(a+b)*(a+2b)+3a*(a+b)*x+3a*x^2+x^3)*y^3/3!+ ...; the array P(a,0) has e.g.f. exp((x+a)*y).

We have the matrix identities P(a,b)*P(a',b) = P(a+a',b); P(a,b)^-1 = P(-a,b).

An analogue of the binomial expansion for the row entries of P(a,b) has been proved by [Echi]. Introduce a (generally noncommutative and nonassociative) product ** on the ring of polynomials in two variables by defining F(x,y)**G(x,y) = F(x,y)G(x,y) + by^2*d/dy(G(x,y)).

Define the iterated product F^(n)(x,y) of a polynomial F(x,y) by setting F^(1) = F(x,y) and F^(n)(x,y) = F(x,y)**F^(n-1)(x,y) for n >=2. Then (x+a*y)^(n) = x^n + C(n,1)*a*x^(n-1)*y + C(n,2)*a*(a+b)*x^(n-2)*y^2 + ... + C(n,n)*a*(a+b)*(a+2b)*...*(a+(n-1)b)*y^n. (End)

(n+1) * n-th row = reversal of triangle A068424: (1; 2,2; 6,6,3;...) [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 03 2009]

Contribution from Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Jun 01 2009: (Start)

If the first column is deleted and the triangle read from right to left resulting in

1|1,2|1,3,6|1,4,12,24|1,5,20,60,120|...,

then this triangle T'(m,k) (m>=0,m>=k>=0) has the definition

T'(m,k) = (-1)^k prod_{j=0..k-1} (j-m-1)

for n from -1 to 7 do print(seq(T'(n,n-k),k=-1..n)) od:

(Let G(m,k,p) = (-p)^k prod_{j=0..k-1} (j-m-1/p).

For G(m,k,2) see A112292 and for G(m,k,3) see A136214.) (End)

The higher order exponential integrals E(x,m,n) are defined in A163931. For a discussion of the asymptotic expansions of the E(x,m=1,n) ~ (exp(-x)/x)*(1 - n/x + (n^2+n)/x^2 - (2*n+3*n^2+n^3)/x^3 + (6*n+11*n^2+6*n^3+n^4)/x^3 - .. ) see A130534. The asymptotic expansion of E(x,m=1,n) leads for n = >1 to the left hand columns of the triangle given above. Triangle A165674 is generated by the asymptotic expansions of E(x,m=2,n).

T(n,k)= n!/k!= number of permutations of [n+1] with exactly k+1 cycles and with elements 1,2,...,k+1 in separate cycles. See link and example below. - Dennis P Walsh, Jan 24 2011

T(n,k) is the number of n permutations that leave some size k subset of {1,2,...,n} fixed. Sum_{k=0...n}(-1)^k*T(n,k)=A000166(n) (the derangements). - Geoffrey Critzer, Dec 11 2011

FORMULA

T(n, k)=n!/k! if n >= k >= 0 else 0.

T(n, k) = Sum[i=k..n, |S1(n+1, i+1)S2(i, k)| * (-1)^i ], with S1, S2 the Stirling numbers.

T(n,k) = (n-k)*T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1). E.g.f.: exp(x*y)/(1-y) = 1 + (1+x)*y + (2+2*x+x^2)*y^2/2! + (6+6*x+3*x^2+x^3)*y^3/3!+ ... . - Peter Bala (pbala(AT)toucansurf.com), Jul 10 2008

A094587 = 1 / ((-1)*A129184 * A127648 + I), I = Identity matrix. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 03 2009]

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 07 2009: (Start)

The o.g.f. of right hand column k is Gf(z;k) = (k-1)!/(1-z)^k, k => 1.

The recurrence relations of the right hand columns lead to Pascal's triangle A007318.

(End)

Let f(x) = (1/x)*exp(-x). The n-th row polynomial is R(n,x) = (-x)^n/f(x)*(d/dx)^n(f(x)), and satisfies the recurrence equation R(n+1,x) = (x+n+1)*R(n,x)-x*R'(n,x). Cf. A132159. - Peter Bala Oct 28 2011.

EXAMPLE

Rows begin {1}, {1,1}, {2,2,1}, {6,6,3,1}....

For n=3 and k=1, T(3,1)=6 since there are exactly 6 permutations of {1,2,3,4} with exactly 2 cycles and with 1 and 2 in separate cycles. The permutations are (1)(2 3 4), (1)(2 4 3), (1 3)(2 4), (1 4)(2 3), (1 3 4)(2), and (1 4 3)(2). Example from Dennis P. Walsh, Jan 24 2011.
