%N Triangle of numbers where T(n,k) is the number of k-dimensional faces on a completely truncated n-dimensional simplex, 0 <= k <= n.

%C The complete truncation of a 1-dimensional segment is also a 1-dimensional segement (rather than degenerating to a point).

%F G.f. for rows (n > 0): (((x+1)^n-1)*(x+n+2))/x-n-binomial(n+1,2)*(x+1).

%F O.g.f.: (1/(1-(x+1)*y)^2-(x+1)/(1-y)^2)/x + 1/((1-(x+1)*y)*(1-y))+1+y*(x+1)*(1-1/(1-y)^3).

%F E.g.f.: ((x+1)*(z+1)+1)*exp(z)*(exp(x*z)-1)/x + 1 - (x+1)*z*((z+2)*exp(z)-2)/2.
