COMMENTS

Sum of entries in row n = n!/2 = A001710(n). T(n,1)=(n-1)!=A000142(n-1). Columns 2,3,4 and 5 yield A001705,A001706,A001707 and A001708, respectively.

See A143491 for the interpretation of these numbers as restricted Stirling numbers of the first kind. See A049444 for a signed version of this array. [From Peter Bala (pbala(AT)toucansurf.com), Aug 25 2008]

With offset n=0,k=0 : triangle T(n,k), read by rows, given by [2,1,3,2,4,3,5,4,6,5,...] DELTA [1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. [From DELEHAM Philippe, Sep 29 2011]

FORMULA

E.g.f.=Sum[(1/n!)T(n,k)x^n*t^k, k=1..n-1, n>=2]=1/[(1+t)(1-x)^t]-(1+tx)/(1+t). Generating polynomial of row n = t*Product(j+t, j=2..n-1). T(n,k) is the sum of all products of n-k-1 different integers taken from {2,3,...,n-1}. For example, T(6,3)=2*3+2*4+2*5+3*4+3*5+4*5=71.

EXAMPLE

T(6,3)=71 because (-1)^9*[s(6,1)+s(6,2)+s(6,3)]=-(-120+274-225)=71.

MAPLE

A136124_row := proc(n) local k, j; `if`(n=0, 1, seq((-1)^(n+1-k)*add(stirling1(n+1, j), j=1..k), k=1..n)) end: seq(print(A136124_row(r)), r=1..6); # Peter Luschny, Sep. 29 2011

with(combinat): T:=proc(n, k) options operator, arrow: (-1)^(n+k)*(sum(stirling1(n, j), j=1..k)) end proc: for n from 2 to 11 do seq(T(n, k), k=1..n-1) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
