%N Triangle read by rows, T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n} C(n-j, n-k)*E2(n, j), where E2 are the second-order Eulerian numbers A201637, for n >= 0 and 0 <= k <= n.

%C Previous name was: Coefficient triangle of polynomials used for e.g.f.s of Stirling2 diagonals.

%C For the o.g.f. of diagonal k of the Stirling2 triangle one has a similar result. See A008517 (second-order Eulerian triangle).

%C A(m,x), the o.g.f. for column m, satisfies the recurrence A(m,x) = x*(x*(d/dx)A(m-1,x) + m*A(m-1,x))/(1-(m+1)*x), for m >= 1 and A(0,x) = 1/(1-x).

%C The e.g.f. for the sequence in column k+1, k >= 0, of A008278, i.e., for the diagonal k >= 0 of the Stirling2 triangle A048993, is exp(x)*Sum_{m=0..k} a(k,m)*(x^(m+k))/(m+k)!.

%C It appears that the triangles in this sequence and A124324 have identical columns, except for shifts. - _Jörgen Backelin_, Jun 20 2022

%C A refined version of this triangle is given in A356145, which contains a link providing the precise relationship between A124324 and this entry, confirming Jörgen Backelin's observation above. - _Tom Copeland_, Sep 24 2022

%F From _Peter Bala_, Sep 30 2011: (Start)

%F E.g.f.: A(x,t) = -1-(1+t)/t*LambertW(-t/(1+t)*exp((x-t)/(1+t)) = x + (1+t)*x^2/2! + (1+4*t+3*t^2)*x^3/3! + .... A(x,t) is the inverse function of (1+t)*log(1+x)-t*x.

%F A(x,t) satisfies the partial differential equation (1-x*t)*dA/dx = 1 + A + t*(1+t)*dA/dt. It follows that the row generating polynomials R(n,t) satisfy the recurrence R(n+1,t) =(n*t+1)*R(n,t) + t*(1+t)*dR(n,t)/dt. Cf. A054589 and A075856. The polynomials t/(1+t)*R(n,t) are the row polynomials of A134991.

%F The generating function A(x,t) satisfies the autonomous differential equation dA/dx = (1+A)/(1-t*A). Applying [Bergeron et al., Theorem 1] gives a combinatorial interpretation for the row generating polynomials R(n,t): R(n,t) counts plane increasing trees on n+1 vertices where the non-leaf vertices of outdegree k come in t^(k-1)*(1+t) colors. An example is given below. Cf. A006351, which corresponds to the case t = 1. Applying [Dominici, Theorem 4.1] gives the following method for calculating the row polynomials R(n,t): Let f(x) = (1+x)/(1-x*t). Then R(n,t) = (f(x)*d/dx)^n(f(x)) evaluated at x = 0. (End)

%F Sum_{j=0..n} T(n-j,j) = A000110(n). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Jun 20 2022
