%N Triangle T(n,k), 0<=k<=n, read by rows, giving coefficients of the polynomial (x+1)(x+2)...(x+n), expanded in increasing powers of x. T(n,k) is also the unsigned Stirling number |s(n+1,k+1)|, denoting the number of permutations on n+1 elements that contain exactly k+1 cycles.

%C This triangle is an unsigned version of the triangle of Stirling numbers of the first kind, A008275, which is the main entry for these numbers. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 25 2011

%C Or, triangle T(n,k), 0<=k<=n, read by rows given by [1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,...] DELTA [1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938 .

%C The higher order exponential integrals E(x,m,n) are defined in A163931. The asymptotic expansion of the exponential integrals E(x,m=1,n) ~ (exp(-x)/x)*(1 - n/x + n*(n+1)/x^2 - n*(n+1)*(n+2)/x^3 + .. ), see Abramowitz and Stegun. This formula follows from the general formula for the asymptotic expansion, see A163932. We rewrite 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 - .. ) and observe that the T(n,m) are the polynomials coefficients in the denominators. Looking at the a(n,m) formula of A028421, A163932 and A163934, and shifting the offset given above to 1, we can write T(n-1,m-1) = a(n,m) = (-1)^(n+m)*stirling1(n,m), see the Maple program.

%C The asymptotic expansion leads for values of n from one to eleven to known sequences, see the cross-references. With these sequences one can form the triangles A008279 (right hand columns) and A094587 (left hand columns).

%C See A163936 for information about the o.g.f.s. of the right hand columns of this triangle.

%C The number of elements greater than i to the left of i in a permutation gives the i-th element of the inversion vector. (Skiena-Pemmaraju 2003 p.69). T(n,k) is the number of n-permutations that have exactly k 0's in their inversion vector. See evidence in Mathematica code below. [From _Geoffrey Critzer_, May 07 2010]

%F For 1<=k<=n, let A={a1,a2,...,ak} denote a size-k subset of {1,2,...,n}. Then T(n,n-k)=sum(product(ai)) where the sum is over all subsets A and the product is over i=1,..,k. For example, T(4,1)=50 since (1)(2)(3)+(1)(2)(4)+(1)(3)(4)+(2)(3)(4)=50. - _Dennis P. Walsh_, Jan 25 2011.

%F The preceding formula means T(n,k) = sigma_{n-k}(1,2,3,..,n) with the (n-k)-th elementary symmetric function sigma with the indeterminates chosen as 1,2,...,n. See the Oct 24 2011 comment in A094638 with sigma called there a. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 06 2013.
