COMMENTS

This is different from A080575 and A178867.

T[n,m]=count of set partitions of n with block lengths given by the m-th partition of n.

Contribution from Tilman Neumann, Oct 05 2008: (Start)

These are also the coefficients occurring in complete Bell polynomials, Faa di Bruno's formula (in it's simplest form) and computation of moments from cumulants.

Though the Bell polynomials seem quite unwieldy, they can be computed easily as the determinant of an n-dimensional square matrix. (see e.g. [Coffey] and program below)

The complete Bell polynomial of the first n primes gives A007446.

(End)

A relation between partition polynomials formed from these "refined" Stirling numbers of the second kind and umbral operator trees and Lagrange inversion is presented in the link "Lagrange a la Lah".

For simple diagrams of the relation between connected graphs, cumulants, and A036040 see the references on statistical physics below. In some sense, these graphs are duals of the umbral bouquets presented in "Lagrange a la Lah". [Tom Copeland, Apr 29 2011]

FORMULA

E.g.f. A(t)= exp(sum(x[k]*(t^k)/k!,k=1..infinity)).

T(n,m) is the coefficient of ((t^n)/n!)* x[1]^e(m,1)*x[2]^e(m,2)*...*x[n]^e(m,n) in A(t). Here the m-th partition of n, counted in Abramowitz-Stegun(A-St) order, is [1^e(m,1), 2^e(m,2), ..., n^e(m,n)] with e(m,j)>=0 and if e(m, j)=0 then j^0 is not recorded.

a(n, m)= n!/product((j!^e(m,j))*e(m,j)!,j=1..n ), with [1^e(m,1),2^e(m,2), ...,n^e(m, n)] the m-th partition of n in the mentioned A-St order.

With the notation in the Lang reference, x(1) treated as a variable and D the derivative w.r.t. x(1), a raising operator for the polynomial S(n,x(1)) = P3_n(x[1],...,x[n]) is R = sum(n=0,1,...) x(n+1) D^n / n! ; i.e., R S(n,x(1)) = S(n+1,x(1)). The lowering operator is D ; i.e., D S(n,x(1)) = n S(n-1,x(1)). The sequence of polynomials is an Appell sequence, so [S(.,x(1))+y]^n = S(n,x(1)+y). For x(j) = (-1)^(j-1) (j-1)! for j>1, S(n,x(1)) = [x(1)-1]^n + n [x(1)-1]^(n-1). [From Tom Copeland, Aug 01 2008]

Raising and lowering operators are given for the partition polynomials formed from A036040 in the link in "Lagrange a la Lah Part I" on page 22. - Tom Copeland, Sep 18 2011
