Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows given by [0,1,0,2,0,3,0,4,0,5,0,6,0,7,0,...] DELTA [1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938; another version of A019538.
See also A019538: version with n > 0 and k > 0. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 03 2008
From Peter Bala, Jul 21 2014: (Start)
T(n,k) gives the number of (k-1)-dimensional faces in the interior of the first barycentric subdivision of the standard (n-1)-dimensional simplex. For example, the barycentric subdivision of the 1-simplex is o--o--o, with 1 interior vertex and 2 interior edges, giving T(2,1) = 1 and T(2,2) = 2.
This triangle is used when calculating the face vectors of the barycentric subdivision of a simplicial complex. Let S be an n-dimensional simplicial complex and write f_k for the number of k-dimensional faces of S, with the usual convention that f_(-1) = 1, so that F := (f_(-1), f_0, f_1,...,f_n) is the f-vector of S. If M(n) denotes the square matrix formed from the first n+1 rows and n+1 columns of the present triangle, then the vector F*M(n) is the f-vector of the first barycentric subdivision of the simplicial complex S (Brenti and Welker, Lemma 2.1). For example, the rows of Pascal's triangle A007318 (but with row and column indexing starting at -1) are the f-vectors for the standard n-simplexes. It follows that A007318*A131689, which equals A028246, is the array of f-vectors of the first barycentric subdivision of standard n-simplexes. (End)
This triangle T(n, k) appears in the o.g.f. G(n, x) = Sum_{m>=0} S(n, m)*x^m with S(n, m) = Sum_{j=0..m} j^n for n >= 1 as G(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} (x^k/(1 - x)^(k+2))*T(n, k). See also the Eulerian triangle A008292 with a Mar 31 2017 comment for a rewritten form. For the e.g.f. see A028246 with a Mar 13 2017 comment. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 31 2017
T(n,k) = the number of alignments of length k of n strings each of length 1. See Slowinski. An example is given below. Cf. A122193 (alignments of strings of length 2) and A299041 (alignments of strings of length 3). - Peter Bala, Feb 04 2018
The row polynomials R(n,x) are the Fubini polynomials. - Emanuele Munarini, Dec 05 2020
From Gus Wiseman, Feb 18 2022: (Start)
Also the number of patterns of length n with k distinct parts (or with maximum part k), where we define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. For example, row n = 3 counts the following patterns:
(1,1,1) (1,2,2) (1,2,3)
(2,1,2) (1,3,2)
(2,2,1) (2,1,3)
(1,1,2) (2,3,1)
(1,2,1) (3,1,2)
(2,1,1) (3,2,1)
(End)
Regard A048994 as a lower-triangular matrix and divide each term A048994(n,k) by n!, then this is the matrix inverse. Because Sum_{k=0..n} (A048994(n,k) * x^n / n!) = A007318(x,n), Sum_{k=0..n} (A131689(n,k) * A007318(x,k)) = x^n. - Nathan L. Skirrow, Mar 23 2023

FORMULA
T(n,k) = k*(T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-1,k)) with T(0,0)=1. Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k = (-1)^n*A000629(n), A033999(n), A000007(n), A000670(n), A004123(n+1), A032033(n), A094417(n), A094418(n), A094419(n) for x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 respectively. [corrected by Philippe Deléham, Feb 11 2013]
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^(n-k) = A000012(n), A000142(n), A000670(n), A122704(n) for x=-1, 0, 1, 2 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 09 2007
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*T(n,k)/(k+1) = Bernoulli numbers A027641(n)/A027642(n). - Peter Luschny, Sep 17 2011
G.f.: F(x,t) = 1 + x*t + (x+x^2)*t^2/2! + (x+6*x^2+6*x^3)*t^3/3! + ... = Sum_{n>=0} R(n,x)*t^n/n!.
The row polynomials R(n,x) satisfy the recursion R(n+1,x) = (x+x^2)*R'(n,x) + x*R(n,x) where ' indicates differentiation with respect to x. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 11 2013
T(n,k) = [t^k] (n! [x^n] (1/(1-t*(exp(x)-1)))). - Peter Luschny, Jan 23 2017
The n-th row polynomial has the form x o x o ... o x (n factors), where o denotes the black diamond multiplication operator of Dukes and White. See also Bala, Example E8. - Peter Bala, Jan 08 2018

From Peter Bala, Feb 04 2018: (Start)
T(4,2) = 14 alignments of length 2 of 4 strings of length 1. Examples include
(i) A - (ii) A - (iii) A -
B - B - - B
C - - C - C
- D - D - D
There are C(4,1) = 4 alignments of type (i) with a single gap character - in column 1, C(4,2) = 6 alignments of type (ii) with two gap characters in column 1 and C(4,3) = 4 alignments of type (iii) with three gap characters in column 1, giving a total of 4 + 6 + 4 = 14 alignments. (End)
