%N Coefficient triangle of generalized Laguerre polynomials n!*L(n,3,x) (rising powers of x).

%C The row polynomials s(n,x) := n!*L(n,3,x) = Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m have e.g.f. exp(-z*x/(1-z))/(1-z)^4. They are Sheffer polynomials satisfying the binomial convolution identity s(n,x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*s(k,x)*p(n-k,y), with polynomials p(n,x) = Sum_{m=1..n} |A008297(n,m)|*(-x)^m, n >= 1 and p(0,x)=1 (for Sheffer polynomials see A048854 for S. Roman reference).

%C These polynomials appear in the radial part of the l=1 (p-wave) eigen functions for the discrete energy levels of the H-atom. See Messiah reference.

%C The unsigned version of this triangle is the triangle of unsigned 2-Lah numbers A143497. - _Peter Bala_, Aug 25 2008

%C This matrix (unsigned) is embedded in that for n!*L(n,-3,-x). Introduce 0,0,0 to each unsigned row and then add 1,-2,1,4,2,1 to the beginning of the array as the first three rows to generate n!*L(n,-3,-x). - _Tom Copeland_, Apr 21 2014

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jul 07 2014: (Start)

%C The standard Rodrigues formula for the monic generalized Laguerre polynomials (also called Laguerre-Sonin polynomials) is Lm(n,alpha,x) := (-1)^n*n!*L(n,3,x) is x^(-alpha)*exp(x)*(d/dx)^n(exp(-x)*x^(n+alpha)).

%C Another Rodrigues type formula is Lm(n,alpha,x) = exp(x)*x^(-alpha+n+1)*(-x^2*d/dx)^n*(exp(-x)*x^(alpha+1)). This is derivable from the differential - difference relation of Lm(n,alpha,x) which yields first the creation operator formula -(x*d/dx + (-x + alpha + n + 1))*Lm(n,alpha,x) = Lm(n+1,alpha,x) or in the variable q = log(x) the operator -(d/dq + alpha + n + 1 - exp(q)).

%C The identity (due to Christoph Mayer) (d/dq - (d/dq)W(q))*f(q) = exp(W(q)*d/dq(exp(-W(q)*f(q)) is then iterated with W(q) = W(alpha,n,q) = exp(q) - (alpha + n + 1)*q and a further change of variables leads then to the given result. (End)

%Y For m=0..5 the (unsigned) columns give A001715, A061206, A062141-A062144. The row sums (signed) give A062146, the row sums (unsigned) give A062147.
