The triangle of Eulerian numbers is also called Euler's triangle. The Eulerian numbers are the coefficients in the Eulerian polynomials. The Eulerian numbers are also the number of permutations of {1, 2, .., } with ascents. The Eulerian polynomials appear, among others, in the expression of the generating function of powers (generating function of regular orthotopic numbers)

where

is the th Eulerian polynomial (with degree for ) [1] whose Eulerian numbers

can be recursively generated with the triangle of Eulerian numbers.

In the following, will be used for the degree of the Eulerian polynomials and their associated Eulerian numbers (instead of for dimension of the orthotopic numbers used above) so as to follow the conventional notation for number triangles.

Eulerian numbers triangle rows

The Eulerian numbers triangle rows entries give the infinite sequence of finite sequences

{{1}, {1, 0}, {1, 1, 0}, {1, 4, 1, 0}, {1, 11, 11, 1, 0}, {1, 26, 66, 26, 1, 0}, {1, 57, 302, 302, 57, 1, 0}, {1, 120, 1191, 2416, 1191, 120, 1, 0}, {1, 247, 4293, 15619, 15619, 4293, 247, 1, 0}, {1, 502, 14608, 88234, 156190, 88234, 14608, 502, 1, 0}, {1, 1013, 47840, 455192, 1310354, 1310354, 455192, 47840, 1013, 1, 0}, ...}

The concatenation of the infinite sequence of finite sequences of the Eulerian numbers triangle rows entries gives the infinite sequence (A173018)

{1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 4, 1, 0, 1, 11, 11, 1, 0, 1, 26, 66, 26, 1, 0, 1, 57, 302, 302, 57, 1, 0, 1, 120, 1191, 2416, 1191, 120, 1, 0, 1, 247, 4293, 15619, 15619, 4293, 247, 1, 0, 1, 502, 14608, 88234, 156190, 88234, 14608, 502, 1, 0, 1, 1013, 47840, 455192, 1310354, 1310354, 455192, 47840, 1013, 1, 0, ...}

The rows without the last zero valued entries (entries from to for ) are symmetric with respect to their centers , i.e.

The Eulerian numbers triangle rows nonzero entries ( entry for , entries from to for ) give the infinite sequence of finite sequences

{{1}, {1}, {1, 1}, {1, 4, 1}, {1, 11, 11, 1}, {1, 26, 66, 26, 1}, {1, 57, 302, 302, 57, 1}, {1, 120, 1191, 2416, 1191, 120, 1}, {1, 247, 4293, 15619, 15619, 4293, 247, 1}, {1, 502, 14608, 88234, 156190, 88234, 14608, 502, 1}, {1, 1013, 47840, 455192, 1310354, 1310354, 455192, 47840, 1013, 1}, ...}

The concatenation of the infinite sequence of finite sequences of the Eulerian numbers triangle rows nonzero entries gives the infinite sequence: (A008292, , with 1 for prepended)

{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 11, 11, 1, 1, 26, 66, 26, 1, 1, 57, 302, 302, 57, 1, 1, 120, 1191, 2416, 1191, 120, 1, 1, 247, 4293, 15619, 15619, 4293, 247, 1, 1, 502, 14608, 88234, 156190, 88234, 14608, 502, 1, 1, 1013, 47840, 455192, 1310354, 1310354, 455192, 47840, 1013, 1, ...}

Eulerian numbers triangle rows sums

The sums of the respective finite sequences give the infinite sequence (A000142, )

{1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800, 39916800, 479001600, 6227020800, 87178291200, 1307674368000, 20922789888000, 355687428096000, ...}
