We study a particular number pyramid
that relates the
binomial,
Deleham, Eulerian, MacMahon-type and Stirling number triangles. The
numbers
are generated by a function
,
, that
appears in the calculation of derivatives of a class of functions whose
derivatives can be expressed as polynomials in the function itself or a related function. Based on
the properties of the numbers
, we derive several new relations related to these triangles.
In particular, we show that the
number triangle
, recently constructed by Deleham (Sloane's
A088874) and
is generated by the Maclaurin series of
,
.
We also give explicit expressions and various partial sums for
the triangle
. Further, we find that
, the
numbers appearing in the Maclaurin series of
, for all
, equal the number of closed walks, based at a vertex, of length
along the edges of an
-dimensional cube.
