COMMENTS

The number of partitions of the set N, |N|=n, into k blocks, all of cardinality greater than or equal to 6. This is the 6-associated Stirling number of the second kind.

This is entered as a triangular array. The entries S_6(n,k) are zero for 6k>n, so these values are omitted. Initial entry in sequence is S_6(6,1).

Rows are of lengths 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, ...

FORMULA

S_r(n+1, k)=k S_r(n, k)+binomial(n, r-1)S_r(n-r+1, k-1) for this sequence, r=6 G.f.: sum(S_r(n, k)u^k ((t^n)/(n!)), n=0..infty, k=0..infty)=exp(u(e^t-sum(t^i/i!, i=0..r-1)))

EXAMPLE

There are 462 ways of partitioning a set N of cardinality 12 into 2 blocks each of cardinality at least 6, so S_6(12,2)=462.
