COMMENTS
Same as A008297 (Lah triangle) except for signs.
Row sums give A066668. Unsigned row sums give A000262.
The Laguerre polynomials L(n;x;a=1) under discussion are connected with Hermite-Bell polynomials p(n;x) for power -1 (see also A215216) defined by the following relation: p(n;x) := x^(2n)*exp(x^(-1))*(d^n exp(-x^(-1))/dx^n). We have L(n;x;a=1)=(-x)^(n-1)*p(n;1/x), p(n+1;x)=x^2(dp(n;x)/dx)+(1-2*n*x)p(n;x), and p(1;x)=1, p(2;x)=1-2*x, p(3;x)=1-6*x+6*x^2, p(4;x)=1-12*x+36*x^2-24*x^3, p(5;x)=1-20*x+120*x^2-240*x^3+120*x^4. Note that if we set w(n;x):=x^(2n)*p(n;1/x) then w(n+1;x)=(w(n;x)-(dw(n;x)/dx))*x^2, which is almost analogous to the recurrence formula for Bell polynomials B(n+1;x)=(B(n;x)+(dB(n;x)/dx))*x. - Roman Witula, Aug 06 2012.

FORMULA
E.g.f. (relative to x, keep y fixed): A(x)=(1/(1-x))^2*exp(x*y/(x-1)).
From Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 31 2013: (Start)
a(n,m) = (-1)^m*binomial(n,m)*(n+1)!/(m+1)!, n >= m >= 0. [corrected by Georg Fischer, Oct 26 2022]
Recurrence from standard three term recurrence for orthogonal generalized Laguerre polynomials {P(n,x):=n!*L(1,n,x)}:
P(n,x) = (2*n-x)*P(n-1,x) - n*(n-1)*P(n-2), n>=1, P(-1,x) = 0, P(0,x) = 1.
a(n,m) = 2*n*a(n-1,m) - a(n-1,m-1) - n*(n-1)*a(n-2,m), n>=1, a(0,0) =1, a(n,-1) = 0, a(n,m) = 0 if n < m.
Simplified recurrence from explicit form of a(n,m):
a(n,m) = (n+m+1)*a(n-1,m) - a(n-1,m-1), n >= 1, a(0,0) =1, a(n,-1) = 0, a(n,m) = 0 if n < m.
