Triangle T(n,k), read by rows: given by [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, ...] DELTA [ -1, -1, -2, -2, -3, -3, -4, -4, -5, -5, ...], where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 14 2005

FORMULA
T(n, k) = (-1)^k*n!*binomial(n, k). - Vladeta Jovovic, May 11 2003
Sum_{k>=0} T(n, k)*T(m, k) = (n+m)!. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 14 2005
Unsigned sequence = A136572 * A007318 - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 07 2008
A136572*PS, where PS is a triangle with PS[n,k] = (-1)^k*A007318[n,k]. PS = 1/PS. - Gerald McGarvey, Aug 20 2009
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
1;
1, -1;
2, -4, 2;
6, -18, 18, -6;
24, -96, 144, -96, 24;
...
x^3 = 6*LaguerreL(0,x) - 18*LaguerreL(1,x) + 18*LaguerreL(2,x) - 6*LaguerreL(3,x).
MATHEMATICA
row[n_] := Table[ a[n, k], {k, 0, n}] /. SolveAlways[ x^n == Sum[ a[n, k]*LaguerreL[k, x], {k, 0, n}], x] // First; (* or, after Vladeta Jovovic: *) row[n_] := Table[(-1)^k*n!*Binomial[n, k], {k, 0, n}]; Table[ row[n], {n, 0, 9}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 05 2012 *)
