COMMENTS

a(n) is the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of n+1 into ten or fewer parts [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Jan 24 2009]

REFERENCES

L. Comtet, Advanced Combinatorics, Reidel, 1974, p. 72, Problem 2.

FORMULA

a(n) = sum( binomial( n+1, 2k-1 ) for k=1..5 ), compare A008860.

G.f.: (1-8x+29x^2-62x^3+86x^4-80x^5+50x^6-20x^7+5x^8)/(1-x)^10 a(n)= (n^9-27n^8+366n^7-2646n^6+12873n^5-31563n^4+79064n^3+34236n^2+270576n+362880)/9! [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Jan 24 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(10)=1023 because there are (2^10)-1 compositions of 11 into ten or fewer parts. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Jan 24 2009]
