FORMULA

The e.g.f. J(x) satisfies the equation Sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (B_n)^2 x^n/n! = exp(J(x)-1), where B_n is the n-th Bell number.

EXAMPLE

J(2) = 3 because there are two partitions of {1,2} and of the four pairs of partitions, only the pair ( {{1},{2}}, {{1},{2}} ) fails to have join {{1,2}}.

CROSSREFS

Bell numbers: A000110, Stirling numbers of the second kind: A000225, number of pairs whose meet equals {{1}, {2}, ..., {n}}: A059849.
