This is a formula from Comtet, Theorem F, vol. I, p. 81 (French edition) used in proving Theorem D.
If we let N = n+1, binomial(N-2, k-1)*(N-1)^(N-k-1) = binomial(n-1, k-1)*n^(n-k), so this sequence with offset 1,1 also gives the number of rooted forests of k trees over [n]. - Washington Bomfim, Jan 09 2008
Let S(n,k) be the signed triangle, S(n,k) = (-1)^(n-k)T(n,k), which starts 1, -2, 1, 9, -6, 1, ..., then the inverse of S is the triangle of idempotent numbers A059298. - Peter Luschny, Mar 13 2009
With offset 1 also number of labeled multigraphs of k components, n nodes, and no cycles except one loop in each component. See link below to have a picture showing the bijection between rooted forests and multigraphs of this kind. (Note that there are no labels in the picture, but the bijection remains true if we label the nodes.) - Washington Bomfim, Sep 04 2010
With offset 1, T(n,k) is the number of forests of rooted trees on n nodes with exactly k (rooted) trees. - Geoffrey Critzer, Feb 10 2012
Also the Bell transform of the sequence (n+1)^n (A000169(n+1)) without column 0. For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 21 2016
Abel polynomials A(n,x) = x*(x+n)^(n-1) satisfy d/dx A(n,x) = n*A(n-1,x+1). - Michael Somos, May 10 2024

FORMULA
|
T(n, k) = binomial(n-2, k-1)*(n-1)^(n-k-1).
Let T(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} n^(n-1)*x^n/n! denote the tree function of A000169. E.g.f.: F(x,t) := exp(t*T(x)) - 1 = -1 + {T(x)/x}^t = t*x + t*(2 + t)*x^2/2! + t*(9 + 6*t + t^2)*x^3/3! + ....
The compositional inverse with respect to x of (1/t)*F(x,t) is the e.g.f. for a signed version of the row reverse of A028421.
The row generating polynomials are the Abel polynomials A(n,x) = x*(x+n)^(n-1) for n >= 1.
Define B(n,x) = x^n/(1+n*x)^(n+1) = (-1)^n*A(-n,-1/x) for n >= 1. The k-th column entries are the coefficients in the formal series expansion of x^k in terms of B(n,x). For example, Col. 1: x = B(1,x) + 2*B(2,x) + 9*B(3,x) + 64*B(4,x) + ..., Col. 2: x^2 = B(2,x) + 6*B(3,x) + 48*B(4,x) + 500*B(5,x) + ... Compare with A059297.
The o.g.f.'s for the diagonals of the triangle are the rational functions R(n,x)/(1-x)^(2*n+1), where R(n,x) are the row polynomials of A155163. See below for examples.
(End)
T(n,m) = C(n,m)*Sum_{k=1..n-m} m^k*T(n-m,k), T(n,n) = 1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 31 2015
