COMMENTS

Although this entry is the last of the versions of the underlying triangle to be added to the OEIS, for some applications it is the most important.

Row n has 2n+1 entries.

A001498 has a b-file.

FORMULA

E.g.f.: Sum_{n >= 0} Sum_{k = 0..2n} b(n,k) y^n x^k/k! = exp(y(x+x^2/2)).

b(n,k) = n!/(2^(n-k)*(2*n-k)!*(k-n)!).

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

[1]

[0, 1, 1]

[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 10, 45, 105, 105]

[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 15, 105, 420, 945, 945]

[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 21, 210, 1260, 4725, 10395, 10395]
