(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A003262 Let y=f(x) satisfy F(x,y)=0. The sequence a(n) is the number of terms in the expansion of d^ny/dx^n in terms of the partial derivatives of F.

FORMULA

The generating function given by Comtet and Fiolet is incorrect.

a(n)=coeff of t^nu^{n-1} in prod_{i,j>=0,(i,j)<>(0,1)}(1-t^iu^{i+j-1})^{-1}. - Tom Wilde (tom(AT)beech84.fsnet.co.uk), Jan 19 2008

EXAMPLE

d^2y/dx^2 = -F_xx/F_y + 2*F_xF_xy/F_y^2 -F_x^2F_yy/F_y^3, where F_x denotes partial derivative wrt x, etc. This has three terms, thus a(n)=3
