COMMENTS
a(n,m) = R_n^m(a=0, b=4) in the notation of the given 1961 and 1962 references.
a(n,m) is a Jabotinsky matrix, i.e., the monic row polynomials E(n,x) := Sum_{m=1..n} a(n,m)*x^m = Product_{j=0..n-1} (x - 4*j), n >= 1, and E(0,x) := 1 are exponential convolution polynomials (see A039692 for the definition and a Knuth reference).
This is the signed Stirling1 triangle with diagonal d >= 0 (main diagonal d = 0) scaled with 4^d.
Also the Bell transform of the quadruple factorial numbers Product_{k=0..n-1} (4*k+4) (A047053) giving unsigned values and adding 1, 0, 0, 0, ... as column 0. For the definition of the Bell transform, see A264428 and for cross-references A265606. - Peter Luschny, Dec 31 2015

FORMULA
a(n, m) = a(n-1, m-1) - 4*(n-1)*a(n-1, m) for n >= m >= 1; a(n, m) := 0 for n < m; a(n, 0) := 0 for n >= 1; a(0, 0) = 1.
E.g.f. for the m-th column of the signed triangle: (log(1 + 4*x)/4)^m/m!.
a(n, m) = S1(n, m)*4^(n-m), with S1(n, m) := A008275(n, m) (signed Stirling1 triangle).
EXAMPLE
Triangle a(n,m) (with rows n >= 1 and columns m = 1..n) begins:
1;
-4, 1;
32, -12, 1;
-384, 176, -24, 1;
6144, -3200, 560, -40, 1,
-122880, 70144, -14400, 1360, -60, 1;
...
3rd row o.g.f.: E(3,x) = 32*x - 12*x^2 + x^3.
