Inverse of number triangle A122848. Entries are Bessel polynomial coefficients. Row sums are A000806.
Also the inverse Bell transform of the sequence "g(n) = 1 if n<2 else 0". For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 19 2016

FORMULA
T(n,k) = (-1)^(n-k)*A132062(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 06 2011
Triangle equals the matrix product A039757*A008277. Dobinski-type formula for the row polynomials: R(n,x) = x*exp(-x)*Sum_{k = 0..inf} (k-1)*(k-3)*(k-5)*...*(k-(2*n-3))*x^k/k! for n >= 1. Cf. A001497. - Peter Bala, Jun 23 2014
From Peter Bala, Jan 09 2018: (Start)
Alternative Dobinski-type formula for the row polynomials: R(n,x) = exp(-x)*Sum_{k = 0..inf} k*(k-2)*(k-4)*...*(k-(2*n-2))*x^k/k!.
Equivalently, R(n,x) = x o (x-2) o (x-4) o...o (x-(2*n-2)), where o denotes the white diamond product of polynomials. See the Bala link for the definition and details.
The white diamond products (x-1) o (x-3) o...o (x-(2*n-3)) give the row polynomials of the array with a factor of x removed.
If d is the first derivative operator f -> d/dx(f(x)) and D is the operator f(x) -> 1/x*d/dx(f(x)) then x^(2*n)*D^n = R(n,x*d), with the understanding that (x*d)^k is to interpreted as the operator f(x) -> x^k*d^k(f(x))/dx^k. (End)
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n+k) * T(n,k) = A144301(n). - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 31 2022
