The matrix operation b = T*a can be characterized several ways in terms of the coefficients a(n) and b(n), their o.g.f.'s A(x) and B(x), or their e.g.f.'s EA(x) and EB(x).
1) b(n) = n! Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,a1(.),-1],0], umbrally,
where a1(n) = n! Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,a(.),-1],0]
2) b(n) = (-1)^n * n! * Lag(n,a(.),-2-n)
3) b(n) = Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^j * binomial(n,j) * binomial(-2,j) * j! * a(n-j)
4) b(n) = Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(n,j) * (j+1)! * a(n-j)
5) B(x) = (1-xDx))^(-2) A(x), formally
6) B(x) = Sum_{j>=0} (-1)^j * binomial(-2,j) * (xDx)^j A(x)
= Sum_{j>=0} (j+1) * (xDx)^j A(x)
7) B(x) = Sum_{j>=0} (j+1) * x^j * D^j * x^j A(x)
8) B(x) = Sum_{j>=0} (j+1)! * x^j * Lag(j,-:xD:,0) A(x)
9) EB(x) = Sum_{j>=0} x^j * Lag[j,(.)! * Lag[.,a1(.),-1],0]
10) EB(x) = Sum_{j>=0} Lag[j,a1(.),-1] * (-x)^j / (1-x)^(j+1)
11) EB(x) = Sum_{j>=0} x^n * Sum_{j=0..n} (j+1)!/j! * a(n-j) / (n-j)!
12) EB(x) = Sum_{j>=0} (-x)^j * Lag[j,a(.),-2-j]
13) EB(x) = exp(a(.)*x) / (1-x)^2 = (1-x)^(-2) * EA(x)
where Lag(n,x,m) are the Laguerre polynomials of order m, D the derivative w.r.t. x and (:xD:)^j = x^j * D^j. Truncating the D operator series at the j = n term gives an o.g.f. for b(0) through b(n).
c = (1!,2!,3!,4!,...) is the sequence associated to T under the list partition transform and associated operations described in A133314. Thus T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*c(n-k) . c are also the coefficients in formulas 4 and 8.
The reciprocal sequence to c is d = (1,-2,2,0,0,0,...), so the inverse of T is TI(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*d(n-k) = A132014. (A121757 is the reverse of T.)
These formulas are easily generalized for m applications of the basic operator n! Lag[n,(.)!*Lag[.,a(.),-1],0] by replacing 2 by m in formulas 2, 3, 5, 6, 12, 13 and 14, or (j+1)! by (m-1+j)!/(m-1)! in 4, 8 and 11. For further discussion of repeated applications of T, see A132014.
The row sums of T = [formula 4 with a(n) all 1] = [binomial transform of c] = [coefficients of B(x) with A(x) = 1/(1-x)] = A001339. Therefore the e.g.f. of A001339 = [formula 13 with a(n) all 1] = exp(x)*(1-x)^(-2) = exp(x)*exp[c(.)*x)] = exp[(1+c(.))*x].
Note the reciprocal is 1/{exp[(1+c(.))*x]} = exp(-x)*(1-x)^2 = e.g.f. of signed A002061 with leading 1 removed], which makes A001339 and the signed, shifted A002061 reciprocal arrays under the list partition transform of A133314.
The e.g.f. for the row polynomials (see A132382) implies they form an Appell sequence (see Wikipedia). - Tom Copeland, Dec 03 2013
As noted in item 12 above and reiterated in the Bala formula below, the e.g.f. is e^(x*t)/(1-x)^2, and the Poisson-Charlier polynomials P_n(t,y) have the e.g.f. (1+x)^y e^(-xt) (Feinsilver, p. 5), so the row polynomials R_n(t) of this entry are (-1)^n P_n(t,-2). The associated Appell sequence IR_n(t) that is the umbral compositional inverse of this entry's polynomials has the e.g.f. (1-x)^2 e^(xt), i.e., the e.g.f. of A132014 (noted above), and, therefore, the row polynomials (-1)^n PC(t,2). As umbral compositional inverses, R_n(IR.(t)) = t^n = IR_n(R.(t)), where, by definition, P.(t)^n = P_n(t), is the umbral evaluation. - Tom Copeland, Jan 15 2016
T(n,k) is the number of ways to place (n-k) rooks in a 2 x (n-1) Ferrers board (or diagram) under the Goldman-Haglund i-row creation rook mode for i=2. Triangular recurrence relation is given by T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + (n+1-k)*T(n-1,k). - Ken Joffaniel M. Gonzales, Jan 21 2016

FORMULA
T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*c(n-k).
From Peter Bala, Jul 10 2008: (Start)
T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*(n-k+1)!.
T(n,k) = (n-k+1)*T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1).
E.g.f.: exp(x*y)/(1-y)^2 = 1 + (2+x)*y + (6+4*x+x^2)*y^2/2! + ... .
This array is the particular case P(2,1) of the generalized Pascal triangle P(a,b), a lower unit triangular matrix, shown below:
n\k|0....................1...............2.........3.....4
----------------------------------------------------------
0..|1.....................................................
1..|a....................1................................
2..|a(a+b)...............2a..............1................
3..|a(a+b)(a+2b).........3a(a+b).........3a........1......
4..|a(a+b)(a+2b)(a+3b)...4a(a+b)(a+2b)...6a(a+b)...4a....1
...
See A094587 for some general properties of these arrays.
Other cases recorded in the database include: P(1,0) = Pascal's triangle A007318, P(1,1) = A094587, P(2,0) = A038207, P(3,0) = A027465, P(1,3) = A136215 and P(2,3) = A136216. (End)
Let f(x) = (1/x^2)*exp(-x). The n-th row polynomial is R(n,x) = (-x)^n/f(x)*(d/dx)^n(f(x)), and satisfies the recurrence equation R(n+1,x) = (x+n+2)*R(n,x)-x*R'(n,x). Cf. A094587. - Peter Bala, Oct 28 2011
Exponential Riordan array [1/(1 - y)^2, y]. The row polynomials R(n,x) thus form a Sheffer sequence of polynomials with associated delta operator equal to d/dx. Thus d/dx(R(n,x)) = n*R(n-1,x). The Sheffer identity is R(n,x + y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*y^(n-k)*R(k,x). Define a polynomial sequence P(n,x) of binomial type by setting P(n,x) = Product_{k = 0..n-1} (2*x + k) with the convention that P(0,x) = 1. Then the present triangle is the triangle of connection constants when expressing the basis polynomials P(n,x + 1) in terms of the basis P(n,x). For example, row 3 is (24, 18, 6, 1) so P(3,x + 1) = (2*x + 2)*(2*x + 3)*(2*x + 4) = 24 + 18*(2*x) + 6*(2*x)*(2*x + 1) + (2*x)*(2*x + 1)*(2*x + 2).

From Tom Copeland, Apr 21 2014: (Start)
T = (I-A132440)^(-2) = {2*I - exp[(A238385-I)]}^(-2) = unsigned exp[2*(I-A238385)] = exp[A005649(.)*(A238385-I)], umbrally, where I = identity matrix.
The e.g.f. is exp(x*y)*(1-y)^(-2), so the row polynomials form an Appell sequence with lowering operator D=d/dx and raising operator x+2/(1-D).
With L(n,m,x) = Laguerre polynomials of order m, the row polynomials are (-1)^n * n! * L(n,-2-n,x) = (-1)^n*(-2!/(-2-n)!)*K(-n,-2-n+1,x) where K is Kummer's confluent hypergeometric function (as a limit of n+s as s tends to zero).
Operationally, (-1)^n*n!*L(n,-2-n,-:xD:) = (-1)^n*x^(n+2)*:Dx:^n*x^(-2-n) = (-1)^n*x^2*:xD:^n*x^(-2) = (-1)^n*n!*binomial(xD-2,n) = (-1)^n*n!*binomial(-2,n)*K(-n,-2-n+1,-:xD:) where :AB:^n = A^n*B^n for any two operators. Cf. A235706.
The generalized Pascal triangle Bala mentions is a special case of the fundamental generalized factorial matrices in A133314. (End)

O.g.f: 1/y * Sum_{k >= 0} k!*( y/(1 - x*y) )^k = 1 + (2 + x)*y + (6 + 4*x + x^2)*y^2 + ....
First-order recurrence for the row polynomials: (n - x)*R(n,x) = n*(n - x + 1)*R(n-1,x) - x^(n+1) with R(0,x) = 1.
R(n,x) = (x + n + 1)*R(n-1,x) - (n - 1)*x*R(n-2,x) with R(0,x) = 1 and R(1,x) = 2 + x.
