Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = 2^k * (n!/k!)*binomial(n-1,k-1).
%C Also the Bell transform of A052849(n+1). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - _Peter Luschny_, Jan 26 2016
%C The coefficients of n! * L_n(-2*x,-1), where n! * L_n(-x,-1) are the normalized, unsigned Laguerre polynomials of order -1 of A105278, also known as the Lah polynomials, which are also a shifted version of n! * L_n(-x,1). Cf. p. 8 of the Gross and Matytsin link. - _Tom Copeland_, Sep 30 2016
