Shift A238363 and add a main diagonal of ones to obtain this array. The row polynomials form a special Sheffer sequence of polynomials, an Appell sequence.

FORMULA
a(n,k) = (-1)^(n+k-1)*n!/((n-k)*k!) for k<n and a(n,n)=1.
Along the n-th diagonal (n>0) Diag(n,k) = a(n+k,k) = (-1)^(n-1)(n-1)! * A007318(n+k,k).
E.g.f.: (log(1+t)+1)*exp(x*t).
E.g.f. for inverse: exp(x*t)/(log(1+t)+1).
The lowering/annihilation and raising/creation operators for the row polynomials are L=D=d/dx and R=x+1/[(1+D)(1+log(1+D))], i.e., L p(n,x)= n*p(n-1,x) and R p(n,x)= p(n+1,x).
E.g.f. of row sums: (log(1+t)+1)*exp(t). Cf. |row sums-1|=|A002741|.
E.g.f. of unsigned row sums: (-log(1-t)+1)*exp(t). Cf. A002104 + 1.
Let dP = A132440, the infinitesimal generator for the Pascal matrix, I, the identity matrix, and T, this entry's lower triangular matrix, then exp(T-I)=I+dP, i.e., T=I+log(I+dP). Also, ((T-I)_n)^n=0, where (T-I)_n denotes the n X n submatrix, i.e., (T-I)_n is nilpotent of order n. - Tom Copeland, Mar 02 2014
Dividing each subdiagonal by its first element (-1)^(n-1)*(n-1)! yields Pascal's triangle A007318. This is equivalent to multiplying the e.g.f. by exp(t)/(log(1+t)+1). - Tom Copeland, Apr 16 2014
From Tom Copeland, Apr 25 2014: (Start)
A) T = [St1]*[dP]*[St2] + I = [padded A008275]*A132440*A048993 + I
B) = [St1]*[dP]*[St1]^(-1) + I
C) = [St2]^(-1)*[dP]*[St2] + I
D) = [St2]^(-1)*[dP]*[St1]^(-1) + I,
where [St1]=padded A008275 just as [St2]=A048993=padded A008277 and I=identity matrix. Cf. A074909. (End)
From Tom Copeland, Jul 26 2017: (Start)
p_n(x) = (1 + log(1+D)) x^n = (1 + D - D^2/2 + D^3/3- ...) x^n = x^n + n! * Sum_(k=1,..,n) (-1)^(k+1) (1/k) x^(n-k)/(n-k)!.
Unsigned T with the first two diagonals nulled gives an exponential infinitesimal generator M (infinigen) for the rencontres numbers A008290, and negated M gives the infinigen for A055137; i.e., with M = |T| - I - dP = -log(I-dP)-dP, then e^M = e^(-dP) / (I-dP) = lower triangular A008290, and e^(-M) = e^dP (I-dP) = A007318 * (I-dP) = lower triangular A055137. The matrix formulation is consistent with the operator relations e^(-D) / (1-D) x^n = n-th row polynomial of A008290 and e^D (1-D) x^n = n-th row polynomial of A055137. (End)
