%N Square array read by antidiagonals: form the Euler-Seidel matrix for the sequence {k!} and then divide column k by k!.

%C The Euler-Seidel matrix for the sequence {k!} is array A076571 read as a square, whose k-th column entries have a common factor of k!. Removing these common factors gives the current table.

%C This table is closely connected to the constant 1/e. The row, column and diagonal entries of this table occur in series acceleration formulas for 1/e.

%C For a similar table based on the differences of the sequence {k!} and related to the constant e, see A086764. For other arrays similarly related to constants see A143410 (for sqrt(e)), A143411 (for 1/sqrt(e)), A008288 (for log(2)), A108625 (for zeta(2)) and A143007 (for zeta(3)).

%F T(n,k) = (1/k!)*Sum_{j = 0..n} binomial(n,j)*(k+j)!.

%F T(n,k) = ((n+k)!/k!)*Num_Pade(n,k), where Num_Pade(n,k) denotes the numerator of the Padé approximation for the function exp(x) of degree (n,k) evaluated at x = 1.

%F Recurrence relations:

%F T(n,k) = T(n-1,k) + (k+1)*T(n-1,k+1);

%F T(n,k) = (n+k)*T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k-1).

%F E.g.f. for column k: exp(y)/(1-y)^(k+1).

%F E.g.f. for array: exp(y)/(1-x-y) = (1 + x + x^2 + ...) + (2 + 3*x + 4*x^2 + ...)*y + (5 + 11*x + 19*x^2 + ...)*y^2/2! + ... .

%F Row n lists the values of the Poisson-Charlier polynomial x^(n) + C(n,1)*x^(n-1) + C(n,2)*x^(n-2) + ... + C(n,n) for x = 1,2,3,..., where x^(m) denotes the rising factorial x*(x+1)*...*(x+m-1).

%F Main diagonal is A001517.

%F Series formulas for 1/e:

%F Row n: 1/e = n!*[1/T(n,0) - 1/(1!*T(n,0)*T(n,1)) + 1/(2!*T(n,1)*T(n,2)) - 1/(3!*T(n,2)*T(n,3)) + ...].

%F Column k: k!/e = A000166(k) + (-1)^(k+1)*[0!/(T(0,k)*T(1,k)) + 1!/(T(1,k)*T(2,k)) + 2!/(T(2,k)*T(3,k)) + ...].

%F Main diagonal: 1/e = 1 - 2*Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/(T(n,n)*T(n+1,n+1)) = 1 - 2*[1/(1*3) - 1/(3*19) + 1/(19*193) - ...].

%F Second subdiagonal: 1/e = 2*(1^2/(1*5) - 2^2/(5*49) + 3^2/(49*685) - ...).

%F Compare with A143413.

%F From _Peter Luschny_, Oct 05 2017: (Start)

%F T(n, k) = hypergeom([k+1, k-n], [], -1).

%F When seen as a triangular array then the row sums are A273596 and the alternating row sums are A003470. (End)
