COMMENT

Changing the initial conditions in the recursion produces a different triangular sequence. The result here is a variation of Stirling's numbers of the first kind. The Chang and Sederberg version of this recursion produces an even function in sections.

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

{1},

{1, 1},

{2, 1, -1},

{6, 1, -4, 1},

{24, -2, -17, 8, -1},

{120, -34, -83, 57, -13, 1},

{720, -324, -464, 425, -135, 19, -1},

{5040, -2988, -2924, 3439, -1370, 268, -26, 1}

MAPLE

p[0]:=1: p[1]:=1+x: for n from 2 to 10 do p[n]:=sort(expand((n-x)*p[n-1])) od: for n from 0 to 10 do seq(coeff(p[n], x, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form

MATHEMATICA

p[ -1, x] = 1; p[0, x] = x + 1; p[k_, x_] := p[k, x] = (-x + k + 1)*p[k - 1, x] w = Table[CoefficientList[p[n, x], x], {n, -1, 10}]; Flatten[w]
