COMMENT

In absolute values, this sequence also gives the lower triangular readout of the exponential of a matrix whose entry {j+1,j} equals (j-1)^2 (and all other entries are zero). - Joseph Biberstine (jrbibers(AT)indiana.edu), May 26 2006

A partial permutation on a set X is a bijection between two subsets of X. |T(n,n-k)| equals the numbers of partial permutations of an n-set having domain cardinality equal to k. Let E denote the operator D*x*D, where D is the derivative operator d/dx. Then E^n = sum {k = 0..n} |T(n,k)|*x^k*D^(n+k). [From Peter Bala (pbala(AT)toucansurf.com), Oct 28 2008]

FORMULA

a(n, m)= ((-1)^m)*n!*binomial(n, m)/m! = ((-1)^m)*((n!/m!)^2)/(n-m)! if n >= m else 0. E.g.f. for m-th column: (-x/(1-x))^m /((1-x)*m!), m >= 0.
