COMMENTS
The k-th diagonal of |A008275| appears as the k-th column in |A008276| with k-1 leading zeros.
The recurrence, given below, is derived from (d/dx)g1(k,x) - g1(k,x)= x*(d/dx)g1(k-1,x) + g1(k-1,x), k >= 1, with input g(-1,x):=0 and initial condition g1(k,0)=1, k >= 0. This differential recurrence for the e.g.f. g1(k,x) follows from the one for unsigned Stirling1 numbers.
The column sequences start with A000142 (factorials), A001705, A112487- A112491, for m=0,...,5.
The main diagonal gives (2*k-1)!! = A001147(k), k >= 1.
This computation was inspired by the Bender article (see links), where the Stirling polynomials are discussed.
The e.g.f. for the k-th diagonal, k >= 1, of the unsigned Stirling1 triangle |A008275| with k-1 leading zeros is g1(k-1,x) = exp(x)*Sum_{m=0..k-1} a(k,m)*(x^(k-1+m))/(k-1+m)!.
a(k,n) = number of lists with entries from [n] such that (i) each element of [n] occurs at least once and at most twice, (ii) for each i that occurs twice, all entries between the two occurrences of i are > i, and (iii) exactly k elements of [n] occur twice. Example: a(1,2)=5 counts 112, 121, 122, 211, 221, and a(2,2)=3 counts 1122,1221,2211. - David Callan, Nov 21 2011

FORMULA
a(k, m) = (k+m)*a(k-1, m) + (k+m-1)*a(k-1, m-1) for k >= m >= 0, a(0, 0)=1, a(k, -1):=0, a(k, m)=0 if k < m.

With polynomials
P(0,t) = 0
P(1,t) = 1
P(2,t) = -(1 + t)
P(3,t) = 2 + 5 t + 3 t^2
P(4,t) = -( 6 + 26 t + 35 t^2 + 15 t^3)
P(5,t) = 24 + 154 t +340 t^2 + 315 t^3 + 105 t^4
Apparently, P(n,t) = (-1)^(n+1) PW[n,-(1+t)] where PW are the Ward polynomials A134991. If so, an e.g.f. for the polynomials is
A(x,t) = -(x+t+1)/t - LW{-((t+1)/t) exp[-(x+t+1)/t]}, where LW(x) is a suitable branch of the Lambert W Fct. (e.g., see A135338). The comp. inverse in x (about x = 0) is B(x) = x + (t+1) [exp(x) - x - 1]. See A112487 for special case t = 1. These results are a special case of A134685 with u(x) = B(x), i.e., u_1=1 and (u_n)=(1+t) for n>0.
Let h(x,t) = 1/(dB(x)/dx) = 1/[1+(1+t)*(exp(x)-1)], an e.g.f. in x for row polynomials in t of signed A028246 , then P(n,t), is given by
(h(x,t)*d/dx)^n x, evaluated at x=0, i.e., A(x,t)=exp(x*h(u,t)*d/du) u, evaluated at u=0. Also, dA(x,t)/dx = h(A(x,t),t).
The e.g.f. A(x,t) = -v * Sum_{j>=1} D(j-1,u) (-z)^j / j! where u=-(x+t+1)/t, v=1+u, z=(1+t*v)/(t*v^2) and D(j-1,u) are the polynomials of A042977. dA/dx = -1/[t*(v-A)].(End)
A133314 applied to the derivative of A(x,t) implies (a.+b.)^n = 0^n, for (b_n)=P(n+1,t) and (a_0)=1, (a_1)=t+1, and (a_n)=t*P(n,t) otherwise. E.g., umbrally, (a.+b.)^2 = a_2*b_0 + 2 a_1*b_1 + a_0*b_2 =0. - Tom Copeland, Oct 08 2011
The row polynomials R(n,x) may be calculated using R(n,x) = 1/x^(n+1)*D^n(x), where D is the operator (x^2+x^3)*d/dx. - Peter Bala, Jul 23 2012
For n>0, Sum_{k=0..n} a(n,k)*(-1/(1+W(t)))^(n+k+1) = (t d/dt)^(n+1) W(t), where W(t) is Lambert W function. For t=-x, this gives Sum_{k>=1} k^(k+n)*x^k/k! = - Sum_{k=0..n} a(n,k)*(-1/(1+W(-x)))^(n+k+1). - Max Alekseyev, Nov 21 2019
