COMMENTS

a(n,m) := S2p(-2; n,m), a member of a sequence of triangles including S2p(-1; n,m) := A001497(n-1,m-1) (Bessel triangle) and ((-1)^(n-m))*S2p(1; n,m) := A008277(n,m) (Stirling 2nd kind). a(n,1)= A008544(n-1).

a(n,m), n>=m>=1, enumerates unordered n-vertex m-forests composed of m plane (aka ordered) increasing (rooted) trees where vertices of out-degree r>=0 come in r+1 different types (like an (r+1)-ary vertex). Proof from the e.g.f. of the first column Y(z):=1-(1-3*x)^(1/3) and the F. Bergeron et al. eq. (8) Y'(z)= phi(Y(z)), Y(0)=0, with out-degree o.g.f. phi(w)=1/(1-w)^2. W. Lang Oct 12 2007.

FORMULA

a(n, m) = n!*A048966(n, m)/(m!*3^(n-m)); a(n+1, m) = (3*n-m)*a(n, m)+ a(n, m-1), n >= m >= 1; a(n, m) := 0, n<m; a(n, 0) := 0, a(1, 1)=1; E.g.f. of m-th column: ((1-(1-3*x)^(1/3))^m)/m!.

Formula: expressed as special values of hypergeometric functions 3F2, in Maple notation: a(n, m)=3^n/m!*(1/3*m*GAMMA(n-1/3)*hypergeom([1-1/3*m, 2/3-1/3*m, 1/3-1/3*m], [2/3, 4/3-n], 1)/GAMMA(2/3)-1/6*m*(m-1)*GAMMA(n-2/3) *hypergeom([1-1/3*m, 2/3-1/3*m, 4/3-1/3*m], [4/3, 5/3-n], 1)/Pi*3^(1/2)*GAMMA(2/3)).

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

1;

2,1;

10,6,1;

80,52,12,1;

880,600,160,20,1; ...

Tree combinatorics for a(3,2)=6: Consider first the unordered forest of m=2 plane trees with n=3 vertices, namely one vertex with out-degree r=0 (root) and two different trees with two vertices (one root with out-degree r=1 and a leaf with r=0). The 6 increasing labelings come then from the forest with rooted (x) trees x, o-x (1,(3,2)), (2,(3,1)) and (3,(2,1)) and similarly from the second forest x, x-o (1,(2,3)), (2,(1,3)) and (3,(1,2)).

MATHEMATICA

a[1, 1] = 1; a[_, 0] = 0; a[0, _] = 0;

a[n_, m_] := (3*(n-1) - m)*a[n-1, m] + a[n-1, m-1];

Flatten[Table[a[n, m], {n, 1, 9}, {m, 1, n}] ][[1 ;; 45]]
