FORMULA

a(n, m)=0 if n < m; a(0, 0)=1, a(n, 0) = n^n, n >= 1, a(n, m) = n^(m-1)*(n+1)^(n-m+1), n >= m >= 1;

E.g.f. for column m: A(m, x); A(0, x) = 1/(1+W(-x)); A(1, x) = -1 - (d/dx)W(-x) = -1-W(-x)/((1+W(-x))*x); A(2, x) = A(1, x)-int(A(1, x), x)/x-(1/x+x); recursion: A(m, x) = A(m-1, x)-int(A(m-1, x), x)/x-((m-1)^(m-1))*(x^(m-1))/(m-1)!, m >= 3; W(x) principal branch of Lambert's function.
