COMMENTS

Jordan matrices are upper bidiagonal matrices such that (A) the diagonal entries are in sorted order, (B) there are only 1's and 0's on the superdiagonal, (C) for each superdiagonal 1, the two diagonal entries to the left and below it must be equal. Let J(N) be the number of N X N Jordan matrices where the diagonal values are, wlog, taken to be a prefix of some fixed strictly increasing sequence x_1, x_2, x_3, ... If Jordan blocks sorted by eigenvalue with ties broken by block size during the sorting, then J(1, 2, 3, ...) is this sequence. - Warren Smith, Jan 28 2002

FORMULA

Invert transform of partitions numbers A000041.

Let p(k) be the number of integer partitions of k. Furthermore, set a(0)=1. Then a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} p(k)*a(n-k). - Thomas Wieder (thomas.wieder(AT)t-online.de), Nov 26 2007

MAPLE

with(combstruct); SeqSetSetU := [T, {T=Sequence(S), S=Set(U, card >= 1), U=Set(Z, card >=1)}, unlabeled];

P := (x) -> product( 1/(1-x^k), k=1..20 ) - 1; F := (x) -> series( 1/(1-P(x)) - 1, x, 21 ); F(x) is g.f. for this sequence - Warren Smith, Jan 28 2002
