A126347
Triangle, read by rows, where row n lists coefficients of q in B(n,q) that satisfies: B(n,q) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(n-1,k)*B(k,q)*q^k for n>0, with B(0,q) = 1; row sums equal the Bell numbers: B(n,1) = A000110(n).

FORMULA
G.f. for row n: B(n,q) = 1/E_q*{0^n + Sum_{k>=1} [(q^k-1)/(q-1)]^n / q-Factorial(k)}, where q-Factorial(k) = Product_{j=1..k} [(q^j-1)/(q-1)] and where E_q = Sum_{n>=0} 1/q-Factorial(n) = Product_{n>=1} (1+(q-1)/q^n).
Sum_{k=0..n*(n-1)/2} (n+k) * T(n,k) = A346772(n). - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 02 2021
EXAMPLE
Number of terms in row n is: n*(n-1)/2 + 1.
Row functions B(n,q) begin:
B(0,q) = B(1,q) = 1;
B(1,q) = 1 + q;
B(2,q) = 1 + 2*q + q^2 + q^3;
B(3,q) = 1 + 3*q + 3*q^2 + 4*q^3 + 2*q^4 + q^5 + q^6.
