COMMENT

O.g.f. for the k-th column sequence is 1/(1-x) if k=1 and A(k,x):=((x^k)/(1-x)^(2*k+1))*sum(A008517(k,m+1)*x^m,m=0..k-1) if k>=2. A008517 is the second-order Eulerian triangle. Cf. p. 257, eq. (6.43) of the R. L. Graham et al. book. W. Lang (wolfdieter.lang_AT_physik_DOT_uni-karlsruhe_DOT_de), Oct 14 2005.

E.g.f. for the k-th column sequence with offset n=0 is E(k,x):= exp(x)*sum(A112493(k-1,m)*(x^(k-1+m))/(k-1+m)!,m=0..k-1) if k>=1. W. Lang, Oct 14 2005.

FORMULA

a(n, k)=0 if n<k, a(n, 0)=0, a(1, 1)=1, a(n, k)= (n-k+1)*a(n-1, k-1) + a(n-1, k) else.

EXAMPLE

The e.g.f. of [0,0,1,7,25,65,...], the k=3 column of A008278, but with offset n=0, is exp(x)*(1*(x^2)/2! + 4*(x^3)/3! + 3*(x^4)/4!).
