In general a column of Table I can be described with
y_d = (m-1+d)*y_d(m-1) + (m-1)*y_d(m-2)

The corresponding column of Tabel II can be calculated with
x_d = y_d(m-1) + y_d(m)

Indeed, we recognize A000255(n) = A000166(n-1) + A(000166(n)
and A055790(n) = A000255(n-1) + A000255(n).

A0????? = A000153(n-1) + A000153(n), etcetera.
 From every a_old(n) we can make an a_new(n) = a_old(n-1) + a_old(n).

The question is, are those sequences interesting enough for submission
to the OEIS?
