Array 1/Beta(n,m) read by antidiagonals. - Michael Somos Feb 05 2004
a(n,3) = A027480(n-2); a(n,4) = A033488(n-3). - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Feb 13 2004
a(n,k) = total size of all of the elements of the family of k-size subsets of an n-element set. For example, a 2-element set, say, {1,2}, has 3 families of k-size subsets: one with 1 0-size element, one with 2 1-size elements and one with 1 2-size element; respectively, {{}}, {{1},{2}}, {{1,2}}. - Ross La Haye (rlahaye(AT)new.rr.com), Dec 31 2006
Second slice along the 1-2-plane in the cube a(m,n,o) = a(m-1,n,o)+a(m,n-1,o)+a(m,n,o-1) with a(1,0,0)=1 and a(m<>1=0,n>=0,0>=o)=0, for which the first slice is Pascal's triangle (slice read by anti-diagonals). - Thomas Wieder (thomas.wieder(AT)t-online.de), Aug 06 2006
Triangle, read by rows, given by [2,-1/2,1/2,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] DELTA [2,-1/2,1/2,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 07 2007
This sequence * [1/1, 1/2, 1/3,...] = (1, 3, 7, 15, 31,...) - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 14 2007
n-th row = coefficients of first derivative of corresponding Pascal's triangle row. Example: x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 1 becomes (4, 12, 12, 4). - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 27 2007

FORMULA
|
a(n, 1)=1/n; a(n, k)=a(n-1, k-1)-a(n, k-1) for k>1.
Considering the integer values (rather than unit fractions): a(n, k) =k*C(n, k) =n*C(n-1, k-1) =a(n, k-1)*a(n-1, k-1)/(a(n, k-1)-a(n-1, k-1)) =a(n-1, k)+a(n-1, k-1)*k/(k-1) =(a(n-1, k)+a(n-1, k-1))*n/(n-1) =k*A007318(n, k) =n*A007318(n-1, k-1). Row sums of integers are n*2^(n-1)=A001787(n); row sums of the unit fractions are A003149(n-1)/A000142(n). - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Jul 22 2002
G.f.: x*y/(1-x-y*x)^2. E.g.f: x*y*exp(x+x*y). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 01 2003
T(n,k) = n*binomial(n-1,k-1)= n*A007318(n-1,k-1) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 04 2006

t(n,m)=Gamma[n]/(Gamma[n - m]*Gamma[m]. - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 14 2008
f[s,n]=Integrate[Exp[ -s*x]*x^n,{x,0,Infinity}]=Gamma[n]/s^n; t(n,m)=f[s,n]/(f[s,n-m]*f[s,m])=Gamma[n]/(Gamma[n - m]*Gamma[m]; the powers of s cancel out. - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 14 2008
