Definition:Stirling Numbers of the First Kind/Signed/Definition 2

Definition
Signed Stirling numbers of the first kind are defined as the polynomial coefficients $\map s {n, k}$ which satisfy the equation:


 * $\displaystyle x^{\underline n} = \sum_k \map s {n, k} x^k$

where $x^{\underline n}$ denotes the $n$th falling factorial of $x$.
