The complete bipartite graph K_(2,2) is the cycle graph C_4 with chromatic polynomial q^4 -4*q^3 +6*q^2 -3*q => row 2 = [1, -4, 6, -3, 0].
Triangle T(n,k) begins:
1, -1, 0;
1, -4, 6, -3, 0;
1, -9, 36, -75, 78, -31, 0;

MAPLE
P:= n-> add(Stirling2(n, k) *mul(q-i, i=0..k-1) *(q-k)^n, k=1..n):
T:= n-> seq(coeff(P(n), q, 2*n-k), k=0..2*n):
seq(T(n), n=1..8);
CROSSREFS
Columns k=0-2 give: A000012, (-1)*A000290, A083374.
Row sums and last elements of rows give: A000004, row lengths give: A005408.
Sums of absolute values of row elements give: A048163(n+1).
T(n, 2n-1) = (-1)*A092552(n).
Sequence in context: A066891 A087231 A019211 * A182368 A185442 A204174
