Comments

Without row n=0 and column m=0 this is triangle A039810.

This is an associated Sheffer matrix with e.g.f. of the m-th column ((exp(f(x))-1)^m)/m! with f(x)=:exp(x)-1.

The triangle is also called the exponential Riordan array [1, exp(exp(x)-1)]. - Peter Luschny, Apr 19 2015

Also the Bell transform of shifted Bell numbers A000110(n+1). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 27 2016

Formula

a(n,m) = Sum_{k=m..n} S2(n,k) * S2(k,m), n>=m>=0.

E.g.f. row polynomials with argument x: exp(x*f(f(z))).

E.g.f. column m: ((exp(exp(x)-1)-1)^m)/m!.
