COMMENTS

Number of different hierarchical orderings that can be formed from n unlabeled elements: these are divided into groups and the elements in each group are then arranged in an "unlabeled preferential arrangement" or "composition" as in A000079. - Thomas Wieder (wieder.thomas(AT)t-online.de) and N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Jun 10 2003

FORMULA

G.f.: 1 / Product_{n=1..inf} (1-x^n)^(2^(n-1)).

Recurrence: a(n) = (1/n) * Sum_{m=1..n} a(n-m)*c(m) where c(m) = A083413(m).

EXAMPLE

1 + x + 3*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 18*x^4 + 42*x^5 + 104*x^6 + 244*x^7 + 585*x^8 + ...

MAPLE

oo := 101: mul( 1/(1-x^j)^(2^(j-1)), j=1..oo): series(%, x, oo): t1 := seriestolist(%); A034691 := n-> t1[n+1];

with(combstruct); SetSeqSetU := [T, {T=Set(S), S=Sequence(U, card >= 1), U=Set(Z, card >=1)}, unlabeled]; seq(count(SetSeqSetU, size=j), j=1..12);

MATHEMATICA

nn = 30; b = Table[2^n, {n, 0, nn}]; CoefficientList[Series[Product[1/(1 - x^m)^b[[m]], {m, nn}], {x, 0, nn}],  x] (* T. D. Noe, Nov 21 2011 *)

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = local(A); if( n<0, 0, A = x * O(x^n); polcoeff( prod( k=1, n, 1 / (1 - x^k + A) ^ 2^(k - 1)), n))} /* Michael Somos, Nov 21 2011 */
