Comments

The row polynomials s(n,x) := n!*L(n,2,x) = Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m have e.g.f. exp(-z*x/(1-z))/(1-z)^3. 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).

This unsigned matrix is embedded in the matrix for n!*L(n,-2,-x). Introduce 0,0 to each unsigned row and then add 1,-1,1 to the array as the first two rows to generate n!*L(n,-2,-x). - Tom Copeland, Apr 20 2014

The unsigned n-th row reverse polynomial equals the numerator polynomial of the finite continued fraction 1 - x/(1 + (n+1)*x/(1 + n*x/(1 + n*x/(1 + ... + 2*x/(1 + 2*x/(1 + x/(1 + x/(1)))))))). Cf. A089231. The denominator polynomial of the continued fraction is the (n+1)-th row polynomial of A144084. An example is given below. - Peter Bala, Oct 06 2019

Formula

T(n, m) = ((-1)^m)*n!*binomial(n+2, n-m)/m!.

E.g.f. for m-th column sequence: ((-x/(1-x))^m)/(m!*(1-x)^3), m >= 0.

n!*L(n,2,x) = (n+2)!*hypergeom([-n],[3],x)/2. - Peter Luschny, Apr 08 2015

From Werner Schulte, Mar 24 2024: (Start)

T(n, k) = (n+k+2) * T(n-1, k) - T(n-1, k-1) with initial values T(0, 0) = 1 and T(i, j) = 0 if j < 0 or j > i.

T = T^(-1), i.e., T is matrix inverse of T. (End)

Unsigned row 3 polynomial in reverse form as the numerator of a continued fraction: 1 - x/(1 + 4*x/(1 + 3*x/(1 + 3*x/(1 + 2*x/(1 + 2*x/(1 + x/(1 + x))))))) = (60*x^3 + 60*x^2 + 15*x + 1)/(24*x^4 + 96*x^3 + 72*x^2 + 16*x + 1). - Peter Bala, Oct 06 2019
