From Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 20 2011: (Start)
The row polynomials s(n,x) := Sum_{j=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k satisfy risefac(x-1,n) = s(n,x), with the rising factorials risefac(x-1,n) := Product_{j=0..n-1} (x-1+j), n >= 1, risefac(x-1,0) = 1. Compare with the formula risefac(x,n) = s1(n,x), with the row polynomials s1(n,x) of A132393 (unsigned Stirling1).
This is the lower triangular Sheffer array with e.g.f.
T(x,z) = (1-z)*exp(-x*log(1-z)) (the rewritten e.g.f. from the formula section). See the W. Lang link under A006232 for Sheffer matrices and the Roman reference. In the notation which indicates the column e.g.f.s this is Sheffer (1-z,-log(1-z)). In the umbral notation (cf. Roman) this is called Sheffer for (exp(t),1-exp(-t)).
The row polynomials satisfy s(n,x) = (x+n-1)*s(n-1,x), s(0,x)=1, and s(n,x) = (x-1)*s1(n-1,x), n >= 1, s1(0,x) = 1, with the unsigned Stirling1 row polynomials s1(n,x).
The row polynomials also satisfy
s(n,x) - s(n,x-1) = n*s(n-1,x), n > 1, s(0,x) = 1
(from the Meixner identity, see the Meixner reference given at A060338).
The row polynomials satisfy as well (from corollary 3.7.2. p. 50 of the Roman reference)
s(n,x) = (x-1)*s(n-1,x+1), n >= 1, s(0,n) = 1.
The exponential convolution identity is
s(n,x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*s(k,y)*s1(n-k,x),
n >= 0, with symmetry x <-> y.
The row sums are 1 for n=0 and 0 otherwise, and the alternating row sums are 1,-2,2, followed by zeros, with e.g.f. (1-x)^2.
The Sheffer a-sequence Sha(n) = A164555(n)/A027642(n) with e.g.f. x/(1-exp(-x)), and the z-sequence is Shz(n) = -1 with e.g.f. -exp(x).
The inverse Sheffer matrix is ((-1)^(n-k))*A105794(n,k) with e.g.f. exp(z)*exp(x*(1-exp(-z))). (End)
Triangle T(n,k), read by rows, given by (-1, 1, 0, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, ...) DELTA (1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Jan 16 2012
Also coefficients of t in t*(t-1)*Sum[(-1)^(n+m) t^(m-1) StirlingS1[n,m], {m,n}] in which setting t^k equal to k gives n!, from this follows that the dot product of row n with [0,...,n] equals (n-1)!. - Wouter Meeussen, May 15 2012

FORMULA
E.g.f.: (1-y)^(1-x).
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k = A000007(n), A000142(n), A000142(n+1), A001710(n+2), A001715(n+3), A001720(n+4), A001725(n+5), A001730(n+6), A049388(n), A049389(n), A049398(n), A051431(n) for x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 13 2007
If we define f(n,i,a) = Sum_{k=0..n-i} binomial(n,k)*Stirling1(n-k,i)*Product_{j=0..k-1} (-a-j), then |T(n,i)| = |f(n,i,-1)|, for n=1,2,...; i=0..n. - Milan Janjic, Dec 21 2008
From Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 20 2011: (Start)
T(n,k) = |S1(n-1,k-1)| - |S1(n-1,k)|, n >= 1, k >= 1, with |S1(n,k)| = A132393(n,k) (unsigned Stirling1).
Recurrence: T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + (n-2)*T(n-1,k) if n >= k >= 0; T(n,k) = 0 if n < k; T(n,-1) = 0; T(0,0) = 1.
E.g.f. column k: (1-x)*((-log(1-x))^k)/k!. (End)
T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n,i)*(n-i)!*Stirling1(i,k)*TC(m,n,i) where TC(m,n,k) = Sum_{i=0..n-k} binomial(n+1,n-k-i)*Stirling2(i+m+1,i+1)*(-1)^i, m = 1 for n >= 0. See A130534, A370518 for m=0 and m=2. - Igor Victorovich Statsenko, Feb 27 2024

Row polynomials:
s(3,x) = -x+x^3 = (x-1)*s1(2,x) = (x-1)*(x+x^2).
s(3,x) = (x-1)*s(2,x+1) = (x-1)*(-(x+1)+(x+1)^2).
s(3,x) - s(3,x-1) = -x+x^3 -(-(x-1)+(x-1)^3) = 3*(-x+x^2) = 3*s(2,x).
