Alternating sum of integer coefficients of the triangles related to Eulerian numbers and binomial transforms

Let $W(n, k, m)$ be an integer coefficients defined for $n > 0, 1 \leqslant k \leqslant n, m > 0$ with $W(n,k,m)=0$ for $n \leqslant 0$ or $k \leqslant 0$ such that $$ W(n, k, m) = (k+m-1)W(n-1,...

How to find the coefficient of $x^k$ in the expression $\prod_{p=1}^n (x^p+1)^p$?

I tried to find the indefinite integral $$ f_n(x)=\int \prod_{k=1}^n \cos^k(kx) \, dx$$ by using Euler's formula and put $x=\frac{\ln y}{2i}$ I got $$ f_n(x)=-i2^{-\frac{n(n+1)}{2}-1}\int y^{-\frac{n(...
