COMMENTS

Inverse of number triangle A105793. Row sums are the generalized Bell numbers A000296.

From Wolfdieter Lang Jun 20 2011: (Start))

T(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k) gives the inverse Sheffer matrix of A094645. In the umbral notation (cf. Roman, p. 17, quoted in A094645) this is Sheffer for (1-t,-ln(1-t)). (End)

FORMULA

Term k in row n is given by {(-1)^(k+n) * [sum from j=0 to j=k of (-1)^j * binomial(k,j) * (1-j)^n] / k! }; i.e. a finite difference. - Tom Copeland (tcjpn(AT)msn.com), Jun 05 2006

O.G.F. for row n = n-th finite difference of the Touchard (Bell) polynomials, T(x,j) and so the E.G.F. for these finite differences and therefore the sequence = exp{x*[exp(t)-1]-t} = exp{t*[T(x,.)-1]} umbrally. - Tom Copeland (tcjpn(AT)msn.com), Jun 05 2006

The e.g.f. A(x,t) = exp(x*(exp(t)-1)-t) satisfies the partial differential equation x*dA/dx - dA/dt = (1-x)*A.

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

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

EXAMPLE

The triangle starts with

n=0:  1;

n=1: -1,  1;

n=2:  1, -1, 1;

n=3: -1,  1, 0, 1;

n=4:  1, -1, 1, 2, 1;

n=5: -1,  1, 0, 5, 5, 1;
