FORMULA
First column is unity. Second column (A127407) is a(n+1) = n*(n+1)^2*(n+8)/(2*3!) for n>=1. Third column (A127408) is a(n+2) = n*(n+1)*(n+2)^3*(2n+14)/(2 * 4!) for n>=1. In general, k-th column is given by a(n+(k-1)) = n*(n+1)*(n+2)*...*(n+(k-1))^k*((k-1)n+S(k))/(2 * (k+1)!) for n>=1, where S(k) is the k-th term of A014206.
EXAMPLE
The third row represents the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of [1 2 3; 3 1 2; 2 3 1], which is x^3 - 3*x^2 - 15*x - 18. Thus the row reads 1,-3,-15,-18.
