%N Triangle of q-Bell number coefficients, read by rows that form polynomials in q, giving the eigensequence for the triangle of q-binomial coefficients.

%C Row n evaluated at sample values of q are as follows:

%C R_n(q=1) = A000110(n) (Bell numbers);

%C R_n(q=-1) = A080107(n) (fixed points of permutation of SetPartitions);

%C R_n(q=2) = A125812; R_n(q=3) = A125813; R_n(q=4) = A125814; R_n(q=5) = A125815.

%C T(n,k) is the number of set partitions of [n] having exactly k inversions. T(5,4)=3: 145|23, 145|2|3, 15|24|3; T(6,6) = 10: 1456|23, 156|234, 156|23|4, 1456|2|3, 146|25|3, 16|245|3, 156|2|34, 16|25|34, 156|2|3|4, 16|25|3|4. - _Alois P. Heinz_, Apr 03 2016

%F T(n,0) = 2^(n-1) for n>0. G.f. of row n is a polynomial in q, B_q(n), that is generated by the recurrence: B_q(n) = Sum_{j=0..n-1} B_q(j) * C_q(n-1,j) for n>0, with B_q(0)=1. The q-binomial coefficient (also called Gaussian binomial coefficient) is given by: C_q(n,k) = [Product_{i=n-k+1..n} (1-q^i)]/[Product_{j=1..k} (1-q^j)].

%F Sum_{k>0} k * T(n,k) = A264082(n). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Apr 03 2016
