%N Triangle of Lehmer-Comtet numbers of the first kind.

%C Triangle arising in the expansion of ((1+x)*log(1+x))^n.

%C Also the Bell transform of (-1)^(n-1)*(n-1)! if n>1 else 1 adding 1,0,0,0,... as column 0. For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - _Peter Luschny_, Jan 16 2016

%F E.g.f. for a(n, k): (1/k!)[ (1+x)*log(1+x) ]^k. - _Len Smiley_

%F Left edge is (-1)*n!, for n >= 2. Right edge is all 1's.

%F a(n+1, k) = n*a(n-1, k-1) + a(n, k-1) + (k-n)*a(n, k).

%F a(n, k) = Sum_{m} binomial(m, k)*k^(m-k)*Stirling1(n, m).

%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 14 2012: (Start)

%F E.g.f.: exp(t*(1 + x)*log(1 + x)) = Sum_{n>=0} R(n,t)*x^n/n! = 1 + t*x + (t+t^2)x^2/2! + (-t+3*t^2+t^3)x^3/3! + .... Cf. A185164. The row polynomials R(n,t) are of binomial type and satisfy the recurrence R(n+1,t) = (t-n)*R(n,t) + t*d/dt(R(n,t)) + n*t*R(n-1,t) with R(0,t) = 1 and R(1,t) = t. Inverse array is A039621.
