COMMENTS

Let M = an infinite lower triangular bidiagonal matrix with (1,3,5,7,...) in the main diagonal and (1,1,1,...) in the subdiagonal. n-th row = M^n * [1,0,0,0,...]. [From Gary W. Adamson, Apr 13 2009]

From Peter Bala, Aug 08 2011: (Start)

A type B_n set partition is a partition P of the set {1, 2, . . . , n, -1, -2, . . . , -n} such that for any block B of P, -B is also a block of P, and there is at most one block, called a zero-block, satisfying B = -B. We call (B, -B) a block pair of P if B is not a zero-block. Then T(n,k) is the number of type Bn set partitions with k block pairs. See [Wang].

For example, T(2,1) = 4 since the B_2 set partitions with 1 block pair are {1,2}{-1,-2}, {1,-2}{-1,2}, {1,-1}{2}{-2} and {2,-2}{1}{-1} (the last two partitions contain a zero block).

FORMULA

E.g.f./G.f.: exp(x + y/2 * (exp(2*x) - 1)).

T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1)+(2*k+1)*T(n-1,k) with T(0,0)=T(1,0)=T(1,1)=0. sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k) = A007405(n). [From R. J. Mathar, Oct 30 2009]

T(n,k) = 1/(2^k*k!) * sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*C(k,j)*(2*j+1)^n.

T(n,k) = 1/(2^k*k!) * A145901(n,k). [From Peter Bala]

The row polynomials R(n,x) satisfy the Dobinski-type identity:

R(n,x) = exp(-x/2)* sum {k >= 0} (2*k+1)^n*(x/2)^k/k!, as well as the recurrence equation R(n+1,x) = (1+x)*R(n,x)+2*x*R'(n,x). The polynomial R(n,x) has all real zeros (apply [Liu et al, Theorem 1.1] with f(x) = R(n,x) and g(x) = R'(n,x)). The polynomials R(n,2*x) are the row polynomials of A154537. - Peter Bala Oct 28 2011.
