I.e. Stirling1 diagonal k scaled with power 2^k, k=0,1,2,.... This unsigned triangle, when multiplied (read as infinite dimensional matrix) from the right with S2(n,m)=A008277(n,m) (Stirling2 numbers), produces triangle S2(3;n,m)=A046089(n,m) (genealized Stirling2). This observation is due to E. Neuwirth (priv. comm. 2001; see also the 2001 ref. given in A046089).
