COMMENTS

Permuting the alphabet will not change a word structure. Thus aabc and bbca have the same structure.

Density of regular language L over {1,2,3,4}^* (i.e. number of strings of length n in L) described by regular expression 11*+11*2(1+2)*+11*2(1+2)*3(1+2+3)*+ 11*2(1+2)*3(1+2+3)*4(1+2+3+4)*+11*2(1+2)*3(1+2+3)*4(1+2+3+4)*5(1+2+3+4+5)* - Nelma Moreira (nam(AT)ncc.up.pt), Oct 10 2004

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=1..5, stirling2(n, k) ).

a(n) = (5^n+10*3^n+20*2^n+45)/5!. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 17 2003

For c=5, a(n)= (c^n)/c!+sum_{k=1..c-2}((k^n)/k!*(sum_{j=2..c-k}(((-1)^j)/j!))) or = sum_{k=1..c}(g(k, c)*k^n) where g(1, 1)=1 g(1, c)=g(1, c-1)+((-1)^(c-1))/(c-1)!, c>1 g(k, c)=g(k-1, c-1)/k, for c>1 and 2<= k<= c - Nelma Moreira (nam(AT)ncc.up.pt), Oct 10 2004

a(n+1) is the top entry of the vector M^n*[1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,...], where M is an infinite bidiagonal matrix with M(r,r+1)=1 in the superdiagonal and M(r,r)=r, r>=1 as the main diagonal, and the rest zeros. The n-th power of the matrix is multiplied from the right with a column vector starting with 5 1's.  - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 24 2011

G.f. -x*(-1+9*x-24*x^2+19*x^3) / ( (x-1)*(3*x-1)*(2*x-1)*(5*x-1) ). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 06 2011
