COMMENT

The n-th row consists of coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the adjacency matrix of the complete n-graph.

Triangle of coefficients of det(M(n)) where M(n) is the n X n matrix m(i,j)=x if i=j, m(i,j)=i/j otherwise. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 01 2003

FORMULA

G.f.: (x-n+1)*(x+1)^(n-1) = sum T(n, k)x^k. T(n, k) = (1-n+k)*C(n, k).

k-th column has o.g.f. x^k(1-(k+2)x)/(1-x)^(k+2). k-th row gives coefficients of (x-k)(x+1)^k. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 25 2004
