COMMENTS

Generalized Bell numbers: a(n)=sum(A078739(n,k),k=2..2*n),n>=1.

Let B_{m}(x) = Sum_{j>=0} exp(j!/(j-m)!*x-1)/j!  then

a(n) = n! [x^n] taylor(B_{2}(x)), where [x^n] denotes the coefficient of x^n in the Taylor series for B_{2}(x). a(n) is row 2 of the square array representation of A090210. - Peter Luschny, Mar 27 2011

Also the number of set partitions of {1,2,..,2n+1} such that the block |n+1| is a part but no block |m| with m < n+1. - Peter Luschny, Apr 3 2011

FORMULA

Sum( (k+2)!^n /(k+2)!*(k!^n)*exp(1)), k = 0 .. infinity, n>=1.

(sum(((k*(k-1))^n)/k!, k=2..infinity)/exp(1), n>=1. a(0) := 1. (from eq.(26) with r=2 of the Schork reference.)

E.g.f.: (sum((exp(k*(k-1)*x))/k!, k=2..infinity)+2)/exp(1) (from top of p. 4656 of the Schork reference).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(n, k)*Bell(2*n-k). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), May 02 2004

EXAMPLE

Example: For n = 2 the a(2) = 7 are the number of set partitions of 5 such that the block |3| is a part but no block |m| with m < 3: 3|1245, 3|4|125, 3|5|124, 3|12|45, 3|14|25, 3|15|24, 3|4|5|12. - Peter Luschny, Apr 5 2011

MAPLE

# Uses floating point arithmetic, increase working precision for large n.

A020556 := proc(n) local r, s, i;

if n=0 then 1 else r := [seq(3, i=1..n-1)]; s := [seq(1, i=1..n-1)];

exp(-x)*2^(n-1)*hypergeom(r, s, x); round(evalf(subs(x=1, %), 99)) fi end:

seq(A020556(n), n=0..15); # - Peter Luschny, Mar 30 2011

  if n = 1 then 1

elif n = k then T(n-1, 1) - T(n-1, n-1)

else T(n-1, k) + T(n, k+1) fi end:

A020556 := n -> T(2*n+1, n+1);
