Since this is the inverse matrix of A135494 with row polynomials q_n(t), first introduced in that entry by R. J. Mathar, and the row polynomials p_n(t) of this entry are a binomial Sheffer polynomial sequence, the row polynomials of the inverse pair are umbral compositional inverses, i.e., p_n(q.(t)) = q_n(p.(t)) = t^n. For example, p_3(q.(t)) = 4q_1(t) + 3q_2(t) + q_3(t) = 4t + 3(-t + t^2) + (-t -3t^2 +t^3) = t^3. In addition, both sequences possess the umbral convolution property (p.x) + p.(y))^n = p_n(x+y) with p_0(t) = 1.

This is the inverse of the Bell matrix generated by A153881; for the definition of the Bell matrix see the link. - Peter Luschny, Jan 26 2018

Formula

E.g.f.: e^[p.(t)x] = e^[t*h(x)] = exp[t*[(x-1)/2 + T{ (1/2) * exp[(x-1)/2] }], where T is the tree function of A000169 related to the Lambert function. h(x) = sum(j=1,...) A000311(j) * x^j / j! = exp[xp.'(0)], so the first column of this entry's matrix is A000311(n) for n > 0 and the second column of the full matrix for p_n(t) to n >= 0. The compositional inverse of h(x) is h^(-1)(x) = 1 + 2x - e^x.

The lowering operator is L = h^(-1)(D) = 1 + 2D - e^D with D = d/dt, i.e., L p_n(t) = n * p_(n-1)(t). For example, L p_3(t) = (D - D^2! - D^3/3! - ...) (4t + 6t^ + t^3) = 3 (t + t^2) = 3 p_2(t).

The raising operator is R = t * 1/[d[h^(-1)(D)]/dD] = t * 1/[2 - e^D)] = t (1 + D + 3D^2/2! + 13D^3/3! + ...). The coefficients of R are A000670. For example, R p_2(t) = t (1 + D + 3D^2/2! + ...) (t + t^2) = 4t + 3t^2 + t^3 = p_3(t).

The row sums are A006351, or essentially 2*A000311.

BellMatrix[f_, len_] := With[{t = Array[f, len, 0]}, Table[BellY[n, k, t], {n, 0, len - 1}, {k, 0, len - 1}]];
B = BellMatrix[Function[n, If[n == 0, 1, -1]], rows = 12] // Inverse;
Table[B[[n, k]], {n, 2, rows}, {k, 2, n}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Jun 28 2018, after Peter Luschny *)
