The n-th generation of T consists of A001906(n) polynomials, for n >= 0. - Clark Kimberling, Nov 24 2015 For n > 0, a(n) = exactly the maximum area of a quadrilateral with sides in order of lengths F(n), F(n), L(n), and L(n) with L(n)= A000032(n). - J.

Consequently, a(n) also counts the spanning trees of the graph given by taking a path with n vertices and adding another vertex adjacent to all of them. - Kevin Long, May 11 2018 The preceding comment can be paraphrased as follows. a(n) is the row sum of the array A305309 for n >= 1. The array A305309(n, k) gives the sum of the products of the block lengths of the set partition of [n] := {1, 2, ..., n} with A048996(n, k) blocks of consecutive numbers, corresponding to the compositions obtained from the k-th partition of n in Abramowitz-Stegun order. See the comments and examples at A305309. {a(n)} also gives the infinite sequence of nonnegative numbers k for which k * ||k*phi|| < 1/sqrt(5), where the irrational number phi = A001622 (golden section), and ||x|| is the absolute value of the difference between x and the nearest integer. See, e.g., the Havil reference, pp. 171-172. (End) This Chebyshev sequence a(n) = S(n-1, 3) (see a formula below) is related to the bisection of Fibonacci sequences {F(a,b;n)}_{n>=0} with input F(a,b;0) = a and F(a,b;1) = b, by F(a,b;2*k) = (a+b)*S(k-1, 3) - a*S(k-2, 3) and F(a,b;2*k+1) = b*S(k, 3) + (a-b)*S(k-1, 3), for k >= 0, and S(-2, 3) = -1. Proof via the o.g.f.s GFeven(a,b,t) = (a - t*(2*a-b))/(1 - 3*t + t^2) and GFodd(a,b,t) = (b + t*(a-b))/(1 - 3*t + t^2). The special case a = 0, b = 1 gives back F(2*k) = S(k-1, 3) = a(k). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 07 2019 a(n) is the number of tilings of two n X 1 rectangles joined orthogonally at a common end-square (so to have 2n-1 squares in a right-angle V shape) with only 1 X 1 and 2 X 1 tiles. This is a consequence of F(2n) = F(n+1)*F(n) + F(n)*F(n-1). - Nathaniel Gregg, Oct 10 2021 These are the denominators of the upper convergents to the golden ratio, tau; they are also the numerators of the lower convergents (viz. 1/1 < 3/2 < 8/5 < 21/13 < ... < tau < ... 13/8 < 5/3 < 2/1). - Clark Kimberling, Jan 02 2022 For n > 1, a(n) is the smallest Fibonacci number of unit equilateral triangle tiles needed to make an isosceles trapezoid of height F(n) triangles. - Kiran Ananthpur Bacche, Sep 01 2024

COMMENTS
Number of antichains (or order ideals) in the poset 2*(k-1)*(n-k) or plane partitions with rows <= k-1, columns <= n-k and entries <= 2. - Mitch Harris, Jul 15 2000 T(n,k) is the number of Dyck n-paths with exactly k peaks. a(n,k) = number of pairs (P,Q) of lattice paths from (0,0) to (k,n+1-k), each consisting of unit steps East or North, such that P lies strictly above Q except at the endpoints. - David Callan, Mar 23 2004 Number of permutations of [n] which avoid-132 and have k-1 descents. - Mike Zabrocki, Aug 26 2004 T(n,k) is the number of paths through n panes of glass, entering and leaving from one side, of length 2n with k reflections (where traversing one pane of glass is the unit length). - Mitch Harris, Jul 06 2006 Antidiagonal sums given by A004148 (without first term). T(n,k) is the number of full binary trees with n internal nodes and k-1 jumps. In the preorder traversal of a full binary tree, any transition from a node at a deeper level to a node on a strictly higher level is called a jump. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 18 2007 The n-th row can be generated by the following operation using an ascending row of (n-1) triangular terms, (A) and a descending row, (B); e.g., row 6:
A: 1....3....6....10....15
B: 15...10....6.....3.....1
C: 1...15...50....50....15....1 = row 6.
Leftmost column of A,B -> first two terms of C; then followed by the operation B*C/A of current column = next term of row C, (e.g., 10*15/3 = 50). Continuing with the operation, we get row 6: (1, 15, 50, 50, 15, 1). (End)
The previous comment can be upgraded to: The ConvOffsStoT transform of the triangular series; and by rows, row 6 is the ConvOffs transform of (1, 3, 6, 10, 15). Refer to triangle A117401 as another example of the ConvOffsStoT transform, and OEIS under Maple Transforms. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 09 2012 T(n,k) is also the number of order-decreasing and order-preserving mappings (of an n-element set) of height k (height of a mapping is the cardinal of its image set). - Abdullahi Umar, Aug 21 2008 Row n of this triangle is the h-vector of the simplicial complex dual to an associahedron of type A_n [Fomin & Reading, p.60]. See A033282 for the corresponding array of f-vectors for associahedra of type A_n. See A008459 and A145903 for the h-vectors for associahedra of type B and type D respectively. The Hilbert transform of this triangle (see A145905 for the definition of this transform) is A145904. - Peter Bala, Oct 27 2008 T(n,k) is also the number of noncrossing set partitions of [n] into k blocks. Given a partition P of the set {1,2,...,n}, a crossing in P are four integers [a, b, c, d] with 1 <= a < b < c < d <= n for which a, c are together in a block, and b, d are together in a different block. A noncrossing partition is a partition with no crossings. - Peter Luschny, Apr 29 2011 Noncrossing set partitions are also called genus 0 partitions. In terms of genus-dependent Stirling numbers of the second kind S2(n,k,g) that count partitions of genus g of an n-set into k nonempty subsets, one has T(n,k) = S2(n,k,0). - Robert Coquereaux, Feb 15 2024 Let E(y) = Sum_{n >= 0} y^n/(n!*(n+1)!) = 1/sqrt(y)*BesselI(1,2*sqrt(y)). Then this triangle is the generalized Riordan array (E(y), y) with respect to the sequence n!*(n+1)! as defined in Wang and Wang.
Generating function E(y)*E(x*y) = 1 + (1 + x)*y/(1!*2!) + (1 + 3*x + x^2)*y^2/(2!*3!) + (1 + 6*x + 6*x^2 + x^3)*y^3/(3!*4!) + .... Cf. A105278 with a generating function exp(y)*E(x*y). The n-th power of this array has a generating function E(y)^n*E(x*y). In particular, the matrix inverse A103364 has a generating function E(x*y)/E(y). (End) T(n,k) is the number of nonintersecting n arches above the x axis, starting and ending on vertices 1 to 2n, with k being the number of arches starting on an odd vertice and ending on a higher even vertice. Example: T(3,2)=3 [16,25,34] [14,23,56] [12,36,45]. - Roger Ford, Jun 14 2014 Fomin and Reading on p. 31 state that the rows of the Narayana matrix are the h-vectors of the associahedra as well as its dual. - Tom Copeland, Jun 27 2017 The row polynomials P(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} T(n, k)*x^(k-1), together with P(0, x) = 1, multiplied by (n+1) are the numerator polynomials of the o.g.f.s of the diagonal sequences of the triangle A103371: G(n, x) = (n+1)*P(n, x)/(1 - x)^{2*n+1}, for n >= 0. This is proved with Lagrange's theorem applied to the Riordan triangle A135278 = (1/(1 - x)^2, x/(1 - x)). See an example below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 31 2017 T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths of semilength n with k-1 uu-blocks (pairs of consecutive up-steps). - Alexander Burstein, Jun 22 2020 In case you were searching for Narayama numbers, the correct spelling is Narayana. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 11 2020 Named after the Canadian mathematician Tadepalli Venkata Narayana (1930-1987). They were also called "Runyon numbers" after John P. Runyon (1922-2013) of Bell Telephone Laboratories, who used them in a study of a telephone traffic system. - Amiram Eldar, Apr 15 2021 The Narayana numbers were first studied by Percy Alexander MacMahon (see reference, Article 495) as pointed out by Bóna and Sagan (see link). - Peter Luschny, Apr 28 2022 T(n,k) is the degree distribution of the paths towards synchronization in the transition diagram associated with the Laplacian system over the complete graph K_n, corresponding to ordered initial conditions x_1 < x_2 < ... < x_n.
T(n,k) for n=2N+1 and k=N+1 is the number of states in the transition diagram associated with the Laplacian system over the complete bipartite graph K_{N,N}, corresponding to ordered (x_1 < x_2 < ... < x_N and x_{N+1} < x_{N+2} < ... < x_{2N}) and balanced (Sum_{i=1..N} x_i/N = Sum_{i=N+1..2N} x_i/N) initial conditions. (End)
Also the number of unlabeled ordered rooted trees with n nodes and k leaves. See the link by Marko Riedel. For example, row n = 5 counts the following trees:
((((o)))) (((o))o) ((o)oo) (oooo)
(((o)o)) ((oo)o)
(((oo))) ((ooo))
((o)(o)) (o(o)o)
((o(o))) (o(oo))
(o((o))) (oo(o))
The unordered version is A055277. Leaves in standard ordered trees are counted by A358371. (End)

FORMULA
a(n, k) = C(n-1, k-1)*C(n, k-1)/k for k!=0; a(n, 0)=0.
Triangle equals [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ...] DELTA [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, ...] where DELTA is Deléham's operator defined in A084938. 0<n, 1<=k<=n a(n, 1) = a(n, n) = 1 a(n, k) = sum(i=1..n-1, sum(r=1..k-1, a(n-1-i, k-r) a(i, r))) + a(n-1, k) a(n, k) = sum(i=1..k-1, binomial(n+i-1, 2k-2)*a(k-1, i)) - Mike Zabrocki, Aug 26 2004 T(n, k) = C(n, k)*C(n-1, k-1) - C(n, k-1)*C(n-1, k) (determinant of a 2 X 2 subarray of Pascal's triangle A007318). - Gerald McGarvey, Feb 24 2005 T(n, k) = binomial(n-1, k-1)^2 - binomial(n-1, k)*binomial(n-1, k-2). - David Callan, Nov 02 2005 a(n,k) = C(n,2) (a(n-1,k)/((n-k)*(n-k+1)) + a(n-1,k-1)/(k*(k-1))) a(n,k) = C(n,k)*C(n,k-1)/n. - Mitch Harris, Jul 06 2006 G.f.: (1-x*(1+y)-sqrt((1-x*(1+y))^2-4*y*x^2))/(2*x) = Sum_{n>0, k>0} a(n, k)*x^n*y^k.
Relation with Jacobi polynomials of parameter (1,1):
Row n+1 generating polynomial equals 1/(n+1)*x*(1-x)^n*Jacobi_P(n,1,1,(1+x)/(1-x)). It follows that the zeros of the Narayana polynomials are all real and nonpositive, as noted above. O.g.f for column k+2: 1/(k+1) * y^(k+2)/(1-y)^(k+3) * Jacobi_P(k,1,1,(1+y)/(1-y)). Cf. A008459. T(n+1,k) is the number of walks of n unit steps on the square lattice (i.e., each step in the direction either up (U), down (D), right (R) or left (L)) starting from the origin and finishing at lattice points on the x axis and which remain in the upper half-plane y >= 0 [Guy]. For example, T(4,3) = 6 counts the six walks RRL, LRR, RLR, UDL, URD and RUD, from the origin to the lattice point (1,0), each of 3 steps. Compare with tables A145596 - A145599. Define a functional I on formal power series of the form f(x) = 1 + ax + bx^2 + ... by the following iterative process. Define inductively f^(1)(x) = f(x) and f^(n+1)(x) = f(x*f^(n)(x)) for n >= 1. Then set I(f(x)) = lim_{n -> infinity} f^(n)(x) in the x-adic topology on the ring of formal power series; the operator I may also be defined by I(f(x)) := 1/x*series reversion of x/f(x).
The o.g.f. for this array is I(1 + t*x + t*x^2 + t*x^3 + ...) = 1 + t*x + (t + t^2)*x^2 + (t + 3*t^2 + t^3)*x^3 + ... = 1/(1 - x*t/(1 - x/(1 - x*t/(1 - x/(1 - ...))))) (as a continued fraction). Cf. A108767, A132081 and A141618. (End) G.f.: 1/(1-x-xy-x^2y/(1-x-xy-x^2y/(1-... (continued fraction). - Paul Barry, Sep 28 2010 E.g.f.: exp((1+y)x)*Bessel_I(1,2*sqrt(y)x)/(sqrt(y)*x). - Paul Barry, Sep 28 2010 G.f.: A(x,y) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} [Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)^2*y^k] * x^n/n ). - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 13 2010 With F(x,t) = (1-(1+t)*x-sqrt(1-2*(1+t)*x+((t-1)*x)^2))/(2*x) an o.g.f. in x for the Narayana polynomials in t, G(x,t) = x/(t+(1+t)*x+x^2) is the compositional inverse in x. Consequently, with H(x,t) = 1/ (dG(x,t)/dx) = (t+(1+t)*x+x^2)^2 / (t-x^2), the n-th Narayana polynomial in t is given by (1/n!)*((H(x,t)*D_x)^n)x evaluated at x=0, i.e., F(x,t) = exp(x*H(u,t)*D_u)u, evaluated at u = 0. Also, dF(x,t)/dx = H(F(x,t),t). - Tom Copeland, Sep 04 2011 With offset 0, A001263 = Sum_{j>=0} A132710^j / A010790(j), a normalized Bessel fct. May be represented as the Pascal matrix A007318, n!/[(n-k)!*k!], umbralized with b(n)= A002378(n) for n>0 and b(0)=1: A001263(n,k)= b.(n!)/{b.[(n-k)!]*b.(k!)} where b.(n!) = b(n)*b(n-1)...*b(0), a generalized factorial (see example). - Tom Copeland, Sep 21 2011 With F(x,t) = {1-(1-t)*x-sqrt[1-2*(1+t)*x+[(t-1)*x]^2]}/2 a shifted o.g.f. in x for the Narayana polynomials in t, G(x,t)= x/[t-1+1/(1-x)] is the compositional inverse in x. Therefore, with H(x,t)=1/(dG(x,t)/dx)=[t-1+1/(1-x)]^2/{t-[x/(1-x)]^2}, (see A119900), the (n-1)-th Narayana polynomial in t is given by (1/n!)*((H(x,t)*d/dx)^n)x evaluated at x=0, i.e., F(x,t) = exp(x*H(u,t)*d/du) u, evaluated at u = 0. Also, dF(x,t)/dx = H(F(x,t),t). - Tom Copeland, Sep 30 2011 T(n,k) = binomial(n-1,k-1)*binomial(n+1,k)-binomial(n,k-1)*binomial(n,k). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 05 2011 Damped sum of a column, in leading order: lim_{d->0} d^(2k-1) Sum_{N>=k} T(N,k)(1-d)^N=Catalan(n). - Joachim Wuttke, Sep 11 2014 Multiplying the n-th column by n! generates the revert of the unsigned Lah numbers, A089231. - Tom Copeland, Jan 07 2016 Row polynomials: (x - 1)^(n+1)*(P(n+1,(1 + x)/(x - 1)) - P(n-1,(1 + x)/(x - 1)))/((4*n + 2)), n = 1,2,... and where P(n,x) denotes the n-th Legendre polynomial. - Peter Bala, Mar 03 2017 The coefficients of the row polynomials R(n, x) = hypergeom([-n,-n-1], [2], x) generate the triangle based in (0,0). - Peter Luschny, Mar 19 2018 Multiplying the n-th diagonal by n!, with the main diagonal n=1, generates the Lah matrix A105278. With G equal to the infinitesimal generator of A132710, the Narayana triangle equals Sum_{n >= 0} G^n/((n+1)!*n!) = (sqrt(G))^(-1) * I_1(2*sqrt(G)), where G^0 is the identity matrix and I_1(x) is the modified Bessel function of the first kind of order 1. (cf. Sep 21 2011 formula also.) - Tom Copeland, Sep 23 2020 T(n,k) = T(n,k-1)*C(n-k+2,2)/C(k,2). - Yuchun Ji, Dec 21 2020 G.f.: F(x,y) = (1-x*(1+y)-sqrt((1-x*(1+y))^2-4*y*x^2))/(2*x) is the solution of the differential equation x^3 * d^2(x*F(x,y))/dx^2 = t * d^2(x*F(x,y))/dy^2.
Let E be the operator x*D*D, where D denotes the derivative operator d/dx. Then (1/(n! (1 + n)!)) * E^n(x/(1 - x)) = (row n generating polynomial)/(1 - x)^(2*n+1) = Sum_{k >= 0} C(n-1, k-1)*C(n, k-1)/k*x^k. For example, when n = 4 we have (1/4!/5!)*E^3(x/(1 - x)) = x (1 + 6 x + 6 x^2 + x^3)/(1 - x)^9. (End)

For all n, 12...n (1 block) and 1|2|3|...|n (n blocks) are noncrossing set partitions.
Example of umbral representation:
A007318(5,k)=[1,5/1,5*4/(2*1),...,1]=(1,5,10,10,5,1),
so A001263(5,k)={1,b(5)/b(1),b(5)*b(4)/[b(2)*b(1)],...,1} = [1,30/2,30*20/(6*2),...,1]=(1,15,50,50,15,1).
First = last term = b.(5!)/[b.(0!)*b.(5!)]= 1. - Tom Copeland, Sep 21 2011 Row polynomials and diagonal sequences of A103371: n = 4, P(4, x) = 1 + 6*x + 6*x^2 + x^3, and the o.g.f. of fifth diagonal is G(4, x) = 5* P(4, x)/(1 - x)^9, namely [5, 75, 525, ...].

Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows, given by [0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...] DELTA [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Jul 29 2006 Number of permutations of length n avoiding simultaneously the patterns 123 and 132 with k left-to-right minima. A left-to-right minimum in a permutation a(1)a(2)...a(n) is position i such that a(j) > a(i) for all j < i. - Tian Han, Nov 16 2023
FORMULA
T(n,k) = binomial(n,2*(n-k)).
E.g.f.: exp(t*x) * cosh(t*sqrt(x)).
O.g.f.: (1/2) * ( 1 / (1 - (1 + sqrt(1/x))*x*t) + 1 / (1 - (1 - sqrt(1/x))*x*t) ).
Row polynomial: x^n * ((1 + sqrt(1/x))^n + (1 - sqrt(1/x))^n) / 2. (End)
Column k is generated by the polynomial Sum_{j=0..floor(k/2)} C(k, 2j) * x^(k-j). - Paul Barry, Jan 22 2005 Sum_{k=0..n} x^k*T(n,k)= A009116(n), A000007(n), A011782(n), A006012(n), A083881(n), A081335(n), A090139(n), A145301(n), A145302(n), A145303(n), A143079(n) for x = -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 04 2006, Oct 15 2008, Oct 19 2008 T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + Sum_{i=0..k-1} T(n-2-i,k-1-i); T(0,0)=1; T(n,k)=0 if n < 0 or k < 0 or n < k. E.g.: T(8,5) = T(7,4) + T(6,4) + T(5,3) + T(4,2) + T(3,1) + T(2,0) = 7+15+5+1+0+0 = 28. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 04 2006 Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^(n-k) = A000012(n), A011782(n), A001333(n), A026150(n), A046717(n), A084057(n), A002533(n), A083098(n), A084058(n), A003665(n), A002535(n), A133294(n), A090042(n), A125816(n), A133343(n), A133345(n), A120612(n), A133356(n), A125818(n) for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 24 2007 Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*(-x)^(n-k) = A000012(n), A146559(n), A087455(n), A138230(n), A006495(n), A138229(n) for x = 0,1,2,3,4,5 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 14 2008 T(n,k) = 2*T(n-1,k-1) + T(n-2,k-1) - T(n-2,k-2), T(0,0) = T(1,1) = 1, T(1,0) = 0 and T(n,k) = 0 if k < 0 or if k > n. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 15 2012

COMMENTS
Warning: formulas and programs sometimes refer to offset 0 and sometimes to offset 1.
Apart from signs, identical to A053122. T(n,k) is the number of compositions of n having k parts when there are q kinds of part q (q=1,2,...). Example: T(4,2) = 10 because we have (1,3),(1,3'),(1,3"), (3,1),(3',1),(3",1),(2,2),(2,2'),(2',2) and (2',2'). - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 09 2005 T(n, k) is also the number of idempotent order-preserving full transformations (of an n-chain) of height k (height(alpha) = |Im(alpha)|). - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008 This sequence is jointly generated with A085478 as a triangular array of coefficients of polynomials v(n,x): initially, u(1,x) = v(1,x) = 1; for n > 1, u(n,x) = u(n-1,x) + x*v(n-1)x and v(n,x) = u(n-1,x) + (x+1)*v(n-1,x). See the Mathematica section. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 25 2012 Subtriangle of the triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows, given by (0, 2, -1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 27 2012 With offset [0,0] the triangle with entries R(n,k) = T(n+1,k+1):= binomial(n+k+1, 2*k+1), n >= k >= 0, and zero otherwise, becomes the Riordan lower triangular convolution matrix R = (G(x)/x, G(x)) with G(x):=x/(1-x)^2 (o.g.f. of A000027). This means that the o.g.f. of column number k of R is (G(x)^(k+1))/x. This matrix R is the inverse of the signed Riordan lower triangular matrix A039598, called in a comment there S. The Riordan matrix with entries R(n,k), just defined, provides the transition matrix between the sequence entry F(4*m*(n+1))/L(2*l), with m >= 0, for n=0,1,... and the sequence entries 5^k*F(2*m)^(2*k+1) for k = 0,1,...,n, with F= A000045 (Fibonacci) and L= A000032 (Lucas). Proof: from the inverse of the signed triangle Riordan matrix S used in a comment on A039598. For the transition matrix R (T with offset [0,0]) defined above, row n=2: F(12*m) /L(2*m) = 3*5^0*F(2*m)^1 + 4*5^1*F(2*m)^3 + 1*5^2*F(2*m)^5, m >= 0. (End)
From R. Bagula's comment in A053122 (cf. Damianou link p. 10), this array gives the coefficients (mod sign) of the characteristic polynomials for the Cartan matrix of the root system A_n. - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2014 For 1 <= k <= n, T(n,k) equals the number of (n-1)-length ternary words containing k-1 letters equal 2 and avoiding 01. - Milan Janjic, Dec 20 2016 The infinite sum (Sum_{i >= 0} (T(s+i,1+i) / 2^(s+2*i)) * zeta(s+1+2*i)) = 1 allows any zeta(s+1) to be expressed as a sum of rational multiples of zeta(s+1+2*i) having higher arguments. For example, zeta(3) can be expressed as a sum involving zeta(5), zeta(7), etc. The summation for each s >= 1 uses the s-th diagonal of the triangle. - Robert B Fowler, Feb 23 2022 The convolution triangle of the nonnegative integers. - Peter Luschny, Oct 07 2022
FORMULA
G.f.: x*y / (1 - (2 + y)*x + x^2). To get row n, expand this in powers of x then expand the coefficient of x^n in increasing powers of y.
If indexing begins at 0 we have
T(n,k) = (n+k+1)!/((n-k)!*(2k+1))!.
T(n,k) = Sum_{j>=0} T(n-1-j, k-1)*(j+1) with T(n, 0) = n+1, T(n, k) = 0 if n < k.
T(n,k) = T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-1, k) + Sum_{j>=0} (-1)^j*T(n-1, k+j)* A000108(j) with T(n,k) = 0 if k < 0, T(0, 0)=1 and T(0, k) = 0 for k > 0. G.f. for the column k: Sum_{n>=0} T(n, k)*x^n = (x^k)/(1-x)^(2k+2).
Row sums: Sum_{k>=0} T(n, k) = A001906(n+1). (End) Antidiagonal sums are A000079(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n+k+1, n-k). - Paul Barry, Jun 21 2004 Riordan array (1/(1-x)^2, x/(1-x)^2). - Paul Barry, Oct 22 2006 T(0,0) = 1, T(n,k) = 0 if k < 0 or if k > n, T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + 2*T(n-1,k) - T(n-2,k). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 26 2010 T(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..n-m} (binomial(2*k,n-m)*binomial(m+k,k)*(-1)^(n-m+k)* binomial(n+1,m+k+1)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Apr 13 2016

COMMENTS
For more detail, including connections to Legendre transformations, rooted trees, A139605, A139002 and A074060, see Mathemagical Forests p. 9. For connections to the h-polynomials associated to the refined f-polynomials of permutohedra see my comments in A008292 and A049019. Given analytic functions F(x) and FI(x) such that F(FI(x))=FI(F(x))=x about 0, i.e., they are compositional inverses of each other, then, with g(x) = 1/dFI(x)/dx, a flow function W(s,x) can be defined with the following relations:
W(s,x) = exp(s g(x)d/dx)x = F(s+FI(x)) <flow fct.>,
W(s,0) = F(s) <orbit of the flow>,
W(0,x) = x <identity property>,
dW(0,x)/ds = g(x) = F'[FI(x)] <infinitesimal generator>, implying
dW(0,F(x))/ds = g(F(x)) = F'(x) <autonomous diff. eqn.>, and
W(s,W(r,x)) = F(s+FI(F(r+FI(x)))) = F(s+r+FI(x)) = W(s+r,x) <group property>. (See MF link below.) (End)
dW(s,x)/ds - g(x)dW(s,x)/dx = 0, so (1,-g(x)) are the components of a vector orthogonal to the gradient of W and, therefore, tangent to the contour of W, at (s,x) <tangency property>. - Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2011 Though A139605 contains A145271, the op. of A145271 contains that of A139605 in the sense that exp(s g(x)d/dx) w(x) = w(F(s+FI(x))) = exp((exp(s g(x)d/dx)x)d/du)w(u) evaluated at u=0. This is reflected in the fact that the forest of rooted trees assoc. to (g(x)d/dx)^n, FOR_n, can be generated by removing the single trunk of the planted rooted trees of FOR_(n+1). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2011 Related to formal group laws for elliptic curves (see Hoffman). - Tom Copeland, Feb 24 2012 The functional equation W(s,x) = F(s+FI(x)), or a restriction of it, is sometimes called the Abel equation or Abel's functional equation (see Houzel and Wikipedia) and is related to Schröder's functional equation and Koenigs functions for compositional iterates (Alexander, Goryainov and Kudryavtseva). - Tom Copeland, Apr 04 2012 g(W(s,x)) = F'(s + FI(x)) = dW(s,x)/ds = g(x) dW(s,x)/dx, connecting the operators here to presentations of the Koenigs / Königs function and Loewner / Löwner evolution equations of the Contreras et al. papers. - Tom Copeland, Jun 03 2018 The autonomous differential equation above also appears with a change in variable of the form x = log(u) in the renormalization group equation, or Beta function. See Wikipedia, Zinn-Justin equations 2.10 and 3.11, and Krajewski and Martinetti equation 21. - Tom Copeland, Jul 23 2020 A variant of these partition polynomials appears on p. 83 of Petreolle et al. with the indeterminates e_n there related to those given in the examples below by e_n = n!*(n'). The coefficients are interpreted as enumerating certain types of trees. See also A190015. - Tom Copeland, Oct 03 2022

where (j')^k = ((d/dx)^j g(x))^k. And R^(n-1) g(x) evaluated at x=0 is the n-th Taylor series coefficient of the compositional inverse of h(x) = (d/dx)^(-1) 1/g(x), with the integral from 0 to x.
The partitions are in reverse order to those in Abramowitz and Stegun p. 831. Summing over coefficients with like powers of (0') gives A008292. Confer A190015 for another way to compute numbers for the array for each partition. - Tom Copeland, Oct 17 2014 Equivalent matrix computation: Multiply the n-th diagonal (with n=0 the main diagonal) of the lower triangular Pascal matrix by g_n = (d/dx)^n g(x) to obtain the matrix VP with VP(n,k) = binomial(n,k) g_(n-k). Then R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^n (g_0, g_1, g_2, ...)^T, where S is the shift matrix A129185, representing differentiation in the divided powers basis x^n/n!. - Tom Copeland, Feb 10 2016 (An evaluation removed by author on Jul 19 2016. Cf. A139605 and A134685.) Also, R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^(n+1) (0, 1, 0, ...)^T in agreement with A139605. - Tom Copeland, Jul 21 2016 A recursion relation for computing each partition polynomial of this entry from the lower order polynomials and the coefficients of the cycle index polynomials of A036039 is presented in the blog entry "Formal group laws and binomial Sheffer sequences". - Tom Copeland, Feb 06 2018 A formula for computing the polynomials of each row of this matrix is presented as T_{n,1} on p. 196 of the Ihara reference in A139605. - Tom Copeland, Mar 25 2020 Indeterminate substitutions as illustrated in A356145 lead to [E] = [L][P] = [P][E]^(-1)[P] = [P][RT] and [E]^(-1) = [P][L] = [P][E][P] = [RT][P], where [E] contains the refined Eulerian partition polynomials of this entry; [E]^(-1), A356145, the inverse set to [E]; [P], the permutahedra polynomials of A133314; [L], the classic Lagrange inversion polynomials of A134685; and [RT], the reciprocal tangent polynomials of A356144. Since [L]^2 = [P]^2 = [RT]^2 = [I], the substitutional identity, [L] = [E][P] = [P][E]^(-1) = [RT][P], [RT] = [E]^(-1)[P] = [P][L][P] = [P][E], and [P] = [L][E] = [E][RT] = [E]^(-1)[L] = [RT][E]^(-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 05 2022
EXAMPLE
Let h(x) = log((1+a*x)/(1+b*x))/(a-b); then, g(x) = 1/(dh(x)/dx) = (1+ax)(1+bx), so (0')=1, (1')=a+b, (2')=2ab, evaluated at x=0, and higher order derivatives of g(x) vanish. Therefore, evaluated at x=0,
R^0 g(x) = 1
R^1 g(x) = a+b
R^2 g(x) = (a+b)^2 + 2ab = a^2 + 4 ab + b^2
R^3 g(x) = (a+b)^3 + 4*(a+b)*2ab = a^3 + 11 a^2*b + 11 ab^2 + b^3

COMMENTS
Apart from signs, identical to A078812. Another version with row-leading 0's and differing signs is given by A285072. G.f. for row polynomials S(n,x-2) (signed triangle): 1/(1+(2-x)*z+z^2). Unsigned triangle |a(n,m)| has g.f. 1/(1-(2+x)*z+z^2) for row polynomials.
Row sums (signed triangle) A049347(n) (periodic(1,-1,0)). Row sums (unsigned triangle) A001906(n+1)=F(2*(n+1)) (even-indexed Fibonacci). In the language of Shapiro et al. (see A053121 for the reference) such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as a matrix, belongs to the Bell-subgroup of the Riordan-group. Riordan array (1/(1+x)^2,x/(1+x)^2). Inverse array is A039598. Diagonal sums have g.f. 1/(1+x^2). - Paul Barry, Mar 17 2005. Corrected by _Wolfdieter_ Lang, Nov 13 2012. Also row n gives (except for an overall sign) coefficients of characteristic polynomial of the Cartan matrix for the root system A_n. - Roger L. Bagula, May 23 2007 The A-sequence for this Riordan triangle is A115141, and the Z-sequence is A115141(n+1), n>=0. For A- and Z-sequences for Riordan matrices see the W. Lang link under A006232 with details and references. S(n,x^2-2) = sum(r(j,x^2),j=0..n) with Chebyshev's S-polynomials and r(j,x^2) := R(2*j+1,x)/x, where R(n,x) are the monic integer Chebyshv T-polynomials with coefficients given in A127672. Proof from comparing the o.g.f. of the partial sum of the r(j,x^2) polynomials (see a comment on the signed Riordan triangle A111125) with the present Riordan type o.g.f. for the row polynomials with x -> x^2. (End) S(n,x^2-2) = S(2*n+1,x)/x, n >= 0, from the odd part of the bisection of the o.g.f. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 17 2012 For a relation to a generator for the Narayana numbers A001263, see A119900, whose columns are unsigned shifted rows (or antidiagonals) of this array, referring to the tables in the example sections. - Tom Copeland, Oct 29 2014 The unsigned rows of this array are alternating rows of a mirrored A011973 and alternating shifted rows of A030528 for the Fibonacci polynomials. - Tom Copeland, Nov 04 2014 Boas-Buck type recurrence for column k >= 0 (see Aug 10 2017 comment in A046521 with references): a(n, m) = (2*(m + 1)/(n - m))*Sum_{k = m..n-1} (-1)^(n-k)*a(k, m), with input a(n, n) = 1, and a(n,k) = 0 for n < k. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 03 2020 Row n gives the characteristic polynomial of the (n X n)-matrix M where M[i,j] = 2 if i = j, -1 if |i-j| = 1 and 0 otherwise. The matrix M is positive definite and has 2-condition number (cot(Pi/(2*n+2)))^2. - Jianing Song, Jun 21 2022 Also the convolution triangle of (-1)^(n+1)*n. - Peter Luschny, Oct 07 2022

COMMENTS
Coefficients are listed in Abramowitz and Stegun order ( A036036). Given an invertible function f(t) analytic about t=0 (or a formal power series) with f(0)=0 and Df(0) not equal to 0, form h(t) = t / f(t) and let h_n denote the coefficient of t^n in h(t).
Lagrange inversion gives the compositional inverse about t=0 as g(t) = Sum_{j>=1} ( t^j * (1/j) * Sum_{permutations s with s(1) + s(2) + ... + s(j) = j - 1} h_s(1) * h_s(2) * ... * h_s(j) ) = t * T(1,1) * h_0 + Sum_{j>=2} ( t^j * Sum_{k=1..(# of partitions for j-1)} T(j,k) * H(j-1,k ; h_0,h_1,...) ), where H(j-1,k ; h_0,h_1,...) is the k-th partition for h_1 through h_(j-1) corresponding to n=j-1 on page 831 of Abramowitz and Stegun (ordered as in A&S) with (h_0)^(j-m)=(h_0)^(n+1-m) appended to each partition subsumed under n and m of A&S.

A125181 is an extended, reordered version of the above sequence, omitting the leading 1, with alternate interpretations.
If the coefficients of partitions with the same exponent for h_0 are summed within rows, A001263 is obtained, omitting the leading 1. From identification of the elements of the inversion with those on page 25 of the Ardila et al. link, the coefficients of the irregular table enumerate non-crossing partitions on [n]. - Tom Copeland, Oct 13 2014 Operating with d/d(1') = d/d(h_1) on the n-th partition polynomial Prt(n;h_0,h_1,..,h_n) in square brackets above associated with t^(n+1) generates n * Prt(n-1;h_0,h_1,..,h_(n-1)); therefore, the polynomials are an Appell sequence of polynomials in the indeterminate h_1 when h_0=1 (a special type of Sheffer sequence).
Consequently, umbrally, [Prt(.;1,x,h_2,..) + y]^n = Prt(n;1,x+y,h_2,..); that is, Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * Prt(k;1,x,h_2,..) * y^(n-k) = Prt(n;1,x+y,h_2,..).
Or, e^(x*z) * exp[Prt(.;1,0,h_2,..) * z] = exp[Prt(.;1,x,h_2,..) * z]. Then with x = h_1 = -(1/2) * d^2[f(t)]/dt^2 evaluated at t=0, the formal Laplace transform from z to 1/t of this expression generates g(t), the comp. inverse of f(t), when h_0 = 1 = df(t)/dt eval. at t=0.
I.e., t / (1 - t*(x + Prt(.;1,0,h_2,..))) = t / (1 - t*Prt(.;1,x,h_2,..)) = g(t), interpreted umbrally, when h_0 = 1.

Connections to and between arrays associated to the Catalan ( A000108 and A007317), Riordan ( A005043), Fibonacci ( A000045), and Fine ( A000957) numbers and to lattice paths, e.g., the Motzkin, Dyck, and Łukasiewicz, can be made explicit by considering the inverse in x of the o.g.f. of A104597(x,-t), i.e., f(x) = P(Cinv(x),t-1) = Cinv(x) / (1 + (t-1)*Cinv(x)) = x*(1-x) / (1 + (t-1)*x*(1-x)) = (x-x^2) / (1 + (t-1)*(x-x^2)), where Cinv(x) = x*(1-x) is the inverse of C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1-4*x)) / 2, a shifted o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers, and P(x,t) = x / (1+t*x) with inverse Pinv(x,t) = -P(-x,t) = x / (1-t*x). Then h(x,t) = x / f(x,t) = x * (1+(t-1)Cinv(x)) / Cinv(x) = 1 + t*x + x^2 + x^3 + ..., i.e., h_1=t and all other coefficients are 1, so the inverse of f(x,t) in x, which is explicitly in closed form finv(x,t) = C(Pinv(x,t-1)), is given by A091867, whose coefficients are sums of the refined Narayana numbers above obtained by setting h_1=(1')=t in the partition polynomials and all other coefficients to one. The group generators C(x) and P(x,t) and their inverses allow associations to be easily made between these classic number arrays. - Tom Copeland, Nov 03 2014 Inverting in x with t a parameter, let F(x;t,n) = x - t*x^(n+1). Then h(x) = x / F(x;t,n) = 1 / (1-t*x^n) = 1 + t*x^n + t^2*x^(2n) + t^3*x^(3n) + ..., so h_k vanishes unless k = m*n with m an integer in which case h_k = t^m.
Finv(x;t,n) = Sum_{j>=0} {binomial((n+1)*j,j) / (n*j + 1)} * t^j * x^(n*j + 1), which gives the Catalan numbers for n=1, and the Fuss-Catalan sequences for n>1 (see A001764, n=2). [Added braces to disambiguate the formula. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 20 2015] This relation reveals properties of the partitions and sums of the coefficients of the array. For n=1, h_k = t^k for all k, implying that the row sums are the Catalan numbers. For n = 2, h_k for k odd vanishes, implying that there are no blocks with only even-indexed h_k on the even-numbered rows and that only the blocks containing only even-sized bins contribute to the odd-row sums giving the Fuss-Catalan numbers for n=2. And so on, for n > 2.
These relations are reflected in any combinatorial structures enumerated by this array and the partitions, such as the noncrossing partitions depicted for a five-element set (a pentagon) in Wikipedia.

An Appell sequence possesses an umbral inverse sequence (cf. A249548). The partition polynomials here, Prt(n;1,h_1,...), are an Appell sequence in the indeterminate h_1=u, so have an e.g.f. exp[Prt(.;1,u,h_2...)*t] = e^(u*t) * exp[Prt(.;1,0,h2,...)*t] with umbral inverses with an e.g.f e^(-u*t) / exp[Prt(.;1,0,h2,...)*t]. This makes contact with the formalism of A133314 (cf. also A049019 and A019538) and the signed, refined face partition polynomials of the permutahedra (or their duals), which determine the reciprocal of exp[Prt(.,0,u,h2...)*t] (cf. A249548) or exp[Prt(.;1,u,h2,...)*t], forming connections among the combinatorics of permutahedra and the noncrossing partitions, Dyck paths and trees (cf. A125181), and many other important structures isomorphic to the partitions of this entry, as well as to formal cumulants through A127671 and algebraic structures of Lie algebras. (Cf. relationship of permutahedra with the Eulerians A008292.) (End)
The n-th row multiplied by n gives the number of terms in the homogeneous symmetric monomials generated by [x(1) + x(2) + ... + x(n+1)]^n under the umbral mapping x(m)^j = h_j, for any m. E.g., [a + b + c]^2 = [a^2 + b^2 + c^2] + 2 * [a*b + a*c + b*c] is mapped to [3 * h_2] + 2 * [3 * h_1^2], and 3 * A134264(3) = 3 *(1,1)= (3,3) the number of summands in the two homogeneous polynomials in the square brackets. For n=3, [a + b + c + d]^3 = [a^3 + b^3 + ...] + 3 [a*b^2 + a*c^2 + ...] + 6 [a*b*c + a*c*d + ...] maps to [4 * h_3] + 3 [12 * h_1 * h_2] + 6 [4 * (h_1)^3], and the number of terms in the brackets is given by 4 * A134264(4) = 4 * (1,3,1) = (4,12,4). The further reduced expression is 4 h_3 + 36 h_1 h_2 + 24 (h_1)^3 = A248120(4) with h_0 = 1. The general relation is n * A134264(n) = A248120(n) / A036038(n-1) where the arithmetic is performed on the coefficients of matching partitions in each row n. Abramowitz and Stegun give combinatorial interpretations of A036038 and relations to other number arrays. This can also be related to repeated umbral composition of Appell sequences and topology with the Bernoulli numbers playing a special role. See the Todd class link.

FORMULA
For j>1, there are P(j,m;a...) = j! / [ (j-m)! (a_1)! (a_2)! ... (a_(j-1))! ] permutations of h_0 through h_(j-1) in which h_0 is repeated (j-m) times; h_1, repeated a_1 times; and so on with a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_(j-1) = m.
If, in addition, a_1 + 2 * a_2 + ... + (j-1) * a_(j-1) = j-1, then each distinct combination of these arrangements is correlated with a partition of j-1.
T(j,k) is [ P(j,m;a...) / j ] for the k-th partition of j-1 as described in the comments.
For example from g(t) above, T(5,4) = (5! / ((5-3)! * 2!)) / 5 = 6 for the 4th partition under n=5-1=4 with m=3 parts in A&S.
Let W(x) = 1/(df(x)/dx)= 1/{d[x/h(x)]/dx}
= [(h_0)-1+:1/(1-h.*x):]^2 / {(h_0)-:[h.x/(1-h.x)]^2:}
= [(h_0)+(h_1)x+(h_2)x^2+...]^2 / [(h_0)-(h_2)x^2-2(h_3)x^3-3(h_4)x^4-...], where :" ": denotes umbral evaluation of the expression within the colons and h. is an umbral coefficient.
Then for the partition polynomials of A134264, Poly[n;h_0,...,h_(n-1)]=(1/n!)(W(x)*d/dx)^n x, evaluated at x=0, and the compositional inverse of f(t) is g(t) = exp(t*W(x)*d/dx) x, evaluated at x=0. Also, dg(t)/dt = W(g(t)), and g(t) gives A001263 with (h_0)=u and (h_n)=1 for n>0 and A000108 with u=1. (End)
With exp(x* PS(.,t)) = exp(t*g(x)) = exp(x*W(y)d/dy) exp(t*y) eval. at y=0, the raising (creation) and lowering (annihilation) operators defined by R PS(n,t) = PS(n+1,t) and L PS(n,t) = n*PS(n-1,t) are
R = t*W(d/dt) = t*((h_0) + (h_1)d/dt + (h_2)(d/dt)^2 + ...)^2 / ((h_0) - (h_2)(d/dt)^2 - 2(h_3)(d/dt)^3 - 3(h_4)(d/dt)^4 + ...), and
L = (d/dt)/h(d/dt) = (d/dt) 1/((h_0) + (h_1)*d/dt + (h_2)*(d/dt)^2 + ...)
Then P(n,t) = (t^n/n!) dPS(n,z)/dz eval. at z=0 are the row polynomials of A134264. (Cf. A139605, A145271, and link therein to Mathemagical Forests for relation to planted trees on p. 13.) (End)
Using the formalism of A263634, the raising operator for the partition polynomials of this array with h_0 = 1 begins as R = h_1 + h_2 D + h_3 D^2/2! + (h_4 - h_2^2) D^3/3! + (h_5 - 5 h_2 h_3) D^4/4! + (h_6 + 5 h_2^3 - 7 h_3^2 - 9 h_2 h_4) D^5/5! + (h_7 - 14 h_2 h_5 + 56 h_2^2 h_3) D^6/6! + ... with D = d/d(h_1). - Tom Copeland, Sep 09 2016 Let h(x) = x/f^{-1}(x) = 1/[1-(c_2*x+c_3*x^2+...)], with c_n all greater than zero. Then h_n are all greater than zero and h_0 = 1. Determine P_n(t) from exp[t*f^{-1}(x)] = exp[x*P.(t)] with f^{-1}(x) = x/h(x) expressed in terms of the h_n (cf. A133314 and A263633). Then P_n(b.) = 0 gives a recursion relation for the inversion polynomials of this entry a_n = b_n/n! in terms of the lower order inversion polynomials and P_j(b.)P_k(b.) = P_j(t)P_k(t)|_{t^n = b_n} = d_{j,k} >= 0 is the coefficient of x^j/j!*y^k/k! in the Taylor series expansion of the formal group law FGL(x,y) = f[f^{-1}(x)+f^{-1}(y)]. - Tom Copeland, Feb 09 2018 A raising operator for the partition polynomials with h_0 = 1 regarded as a Sheffer Appell sequence in h_1 is described in A249548. - Tom Copeland, Jul 03 2018
EXAMPLE
1) With f(t) = t / (t-1), then h(t) = -(1-t), giving h_0 = -1, h_1 = 1 and h_n = 0 for n>1. Then g(t) = -t - t^2 - t^3 - ... = t / (t-1).
2) With f(t) = t*(1-t), then h(t) = 1 / (1-t), giving h_n = 1 for all n. The compositional inverse of this f(t) is g(t) = t*A(t) where A(t) is the o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers; therefore the sum over k of T(j,k), i.e., the row sum, is the Catalan number A000108(j-1). 3) With f(t) = (e^(-a*t)-1) / (-a), h(t) = Sum_{n>=0} Bernoulli(n) * (-a*t)^n / n! and g(t) = log(1-a*t) / (-a) = Sum_{n>=1} a^(n-1) * t^n / n. Therefore with h_n = Bernoulli(n) * (-a)^n / n!, Sum_{permutations s with s(1)+s(2)+...+s(j)=j-1} h_s(1) * h_s(2) * ... * h_s(j) = j * Sum_{k=1..(# of partitions for j-1)} T(j,k) * H(j-1,k ; h_0,h_1,...) = a^(j-1). Note, in turn, Sum_{a=1..m} a^(j-1) = (Bernoulli(j,m+1) - Bernoulli(j)) / j for the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, for j>1.
4) With f(t,x) = t / (x-1+1/(1-t)), then h(t,x) = x-1+1/(1-t), giving (h_0)=x and (h_n)=1 for n>1. Then g(t,x) = (1-(1-x)*t-sqrt(1-2*(1+x)*t+((x-1)*t)^2)) / 2, a shifted o.g.f. in t for the Narayana polynomials in x of A001263. 5) With h(t)= o.g.f. of A075834, but with A075834(1)=2 rather than 1, which is the o.g.f. for the number of connected positroids on [n] (cf. Ardila et al., p. 25), g(t) is the o.g.f. for A000522, which is the o.g.f. for the number of positroids on [n]. (Added Oct 13 2014 by author.) 6) With f(t,x) = x / ((1-t*x)*(1-(1+t)*x)), an o.g.f. for A074909, the reverse face polynomials of the simplices, h(t,x) = (1-t*x) * (1-(1+t)*x) with h_0=1, h_1=-(1+2*t), and h_2=t*(1+t), giving as the inverse in x about 0 the o.g.f. (1+(1+2*t)*x-sqrt(1+(1+2*t)*2*x+x^2)) / (2*t*(1+t)*x) for signed A033282, the reverse face polynomials of the Stasheff polytopes, or associahedra. Cf. A248727. (Added Jan 21 2015 by author.) 7) With f(x,t) = x / ((1+x)*(1+t*x)), an o.g.f. for the polynomials (-1)^n * (1 + t + ... + t^n), h(t,x) = (1+x) * (1+t*x) with h_0=1, h_1=(1+t), and h_2=t, giving as the inverse in x about 0 the o.g.f. (1-(1+t)*x-sqrt(1-2*(1+t)*x+((t-1)*x)^2)) / (2*x*t) for the Narayana polynomials A001263. Cf. A046802. (Added Jan 24 2015 by author.) Triangle begins:

DELTA (0, 1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 12 2011 The row polynomials N(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/2)} T(n-1,k)*x^k, and D(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} A034839(n,k)*x^k, n >= 1, satisfy the recurrences N(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + N(n-1,x), D(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + x*N(n-1,x), with inputs N(1,x) = 1 = D(1,x). This is due to the Pascal triangle A007318 recurrence. Q(n,x) := tan(n*x)/tan(x) satisfies the recurrence Q(n,x) = (1 + Q(n-1,x)/(1 - v(x)*Q(n-1,x)) with input Q(1,x) = 1 and v = v(x) := (tan(x))^2. This recurrence is obtained from the addition theorem for tan(n*x) using n = 1 + (n-1). Therefore Q(n,x) = N(n,-v(x))/D(n,-v(x)). This proves the Gary W. Adamson contribution from above. See also A220673. This calculation was motivated by an e-mail of Thomas Olsen. The Oliver/Prodinger and Ma references resort to HAKEM Al Memo 239, Item 16, for the tan(n*x) formula in terms of tan(x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 17 2013 The infinitesimal generator (infinigen) for the Narayana polynomials A090181/ A001263 can be formed from the row polynomials P(n,y) of this entry.

Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of ternary words of length n with k strictly increasing runs (0 <= k <= n; for example, the ternary word 2|01|12|02|1|1|012|2 has 8 strictly increasing runs).

COMMENTS
Sum of entries in row n is 3^n ( A000244). Sum of entries in column k is A099464(k+1) (a trisection of the tribonacci numbers). Row n contains 1 + floor(2n/3) nonzero terms.
T(n,n) = (n+1)*(n+2)/2 (the triangular numbers ( A000217)). Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = (2n+1)*3^(n-1) = 3* A081038(n-1) for n >= 1.

FORMULA
T(n,k) = trinomial(n+1,3n-3k+2) = trinomial(n+1,3k-n) (conjecture).
G.f.: 1/(1-3tz-3t(1-t)z^2-t(1-t)^2*z^3).
Can anyone prove the conjecture (either from the g.f. or combinatorially from the definition)?
The conjecture is compatible with the g.f., which can be rewritten as (1-t)/(1-t(1+(1-t)z)^3) and expanded to give T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(3j, n)*C(n+1, k-j) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j*C(n+1,j)*C(3k-3j,n) = trinomial(n+1,3k-n) = A027907(n+1,3k-n). Also (1-t)/(1-t(1+(1-t)z)^2) equals the g.f. for the case of binary words, A119900, where Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(2j,n)*C(n+1,k-j) = C(n+1,2k-n). Changing the exponent to 1 gives 1/(1-zt), the g.f. for the case of unary words, the expansion coefficients of which can be written as Kronecker delta(k-n)^(n+1) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(j, n)*C(n+1,k-j). So the conjecture shifts to that the g.f. is (1-t)/(1-t(1+(1-t)z)^m) and coefficients T(m,n,k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(mj,n)*C(n+1, k-j) may apply to the general case of m-ary words. (End)
The generalized conjecture above can in fact be proved, as described in the file "Words Partitioned according to Number of Strictly Increasing Runs" linked above. - Giuliano Cabrele, Dec 11 2015
EXAMPLE
T(5,2) = 6 because we have 012|01, 012|02, 012|12, 01|012, 02|012 and 12|012 (the runs are separated by |).
