COMMENTS

Also the number of n X n real (0,1)-matrices with all eigenvalues positive.

Also the number of n X n real (0,1)-matrices with permanent equal to 1, up to permutation of rows/columns, cf. A089482. [From Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Oct 28 2009]

FORMULA

a(0) = 1; for n > 0, a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1)*C(n, k)*2^(k*(n-k))*a(n-k).

1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*exp(-2^n*x)*x^n/n!. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jun 05 2005

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(n-k)*A046860(n,k) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(n-k)*k!*A058843(n,k). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jun 20 2008

1 = Sum_{n=>0} a(n)*x^n/(1 + 2^n*x)^(n+1). [From Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Oct 17 2009]

1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*C(n+m-1,n)*x^n/(1 + 2^n*x)^(n+m) for m>=1. [Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011]

log(1+x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*(x^n/n)/(1 + 2^n*x)^n. [Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011]

EXAMPLE

For n = 2 the three (0,1)-matrices are {{{1, 0}, {0, 1}}, {{1, 0}, {1, 1}}, {{1, 1}, {0, 1}}}.

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, n==0, sum(k=1, n, -(-1)^k*C(n, k)*2^(k*(n-k))*a(n-k)))

(PARI) {a(n)=polcoeff(1-sum(k=0, n-1, a(k)*x^k/(1+2^k*x+x*O(x^n))^(k+1)), n)} [From Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Oct 17 2009]
