COMMENTS
| Comment from Asher Natan Auel (auela(AT)reed.edu) Jan 26 2000: There are 5 ways to put parentheses in the expression a - b - c - d: (a - (b - c)) - d, ((a - b) - c) - d, (a - b) - (c - d), a - (b - (c - d)), a - ((b - c) - d). A047929 describes how many sets of natural numbers [a,b,c,d] can be produced with the numbers {0,1,2,3,...n} such that all the distinct expressions take different values. A045991 describes the similar process for a - b - c.
a(n)=A004320(n)*6. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), May 09 2007

EXAMPLE
| For example, no such sets can be produced with only 0's or only 0's and 1's; with {0,1,2,3}, 18 such sets can be produced.
