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”).

COMMENTS
Column m=2 is essentially the same as A005563 or A067998 or A106230. Row n=1 is essentially the same as A025238 and A002212. The table is read along diagonals and provides the Taylor coefficient of x^m in column m. It also is the slice t=1 through the trivariate g.f. defined in A129170, which provides an implicit proof that all values are nonnegative.
