COMMENTS

This is different from A036040 and A178867.

T[n,m] = count of set partitions of n with block lengths given by the m-th partition of n in the canonical ordering.

Contribution from Tilman Neumann, Oct 05 2008: (Start)

These are also the coefficients occuring in complete Bell polynomials, Faa di Bruno's formula (in it's simplest form) and computation of moments from cumulants.

Though the Bell polynomials seem quite unwieldy, they can be computed easily as the determinant of an n-dimensional square matrix. (see e.g. [Coffey] and program below)

The complete Bell polynomial of the first n primes gives A007446. (End)

EXAMPLE

For n=4 the 5 integer partitions in canonical ordering with corresponding set partitions and counts are:

   [4]       -> #{1234} = 1

   [3,1]     -> #{123/4, 124/3, 134/2, 1/234} = 4

   [2,2]     -> #{12/34, 13/24, 14/23} = 3

   [2,1,1]   -> #{12/3/4, 13/2/4, 1/23/4, 14/2/3, 1/24/3, 1/2/34} = 6

   [1,1,1,1] -> #{1/2/3/4} = 1

Thus row 4 is [1, 4, 3, 6, 1].

Triangle begins:

1;

1, 1;

1, 3,  1;

1, 4,  3,  6,  1;

1, 5, 10, 10, 15,  10,  1;

1, 6, 15, 15, 10,  60, 20, 15,  45,  15,  1;

1, 7, 21, 21, 35, 105, 35, 70, 105, 210, 35, 105, 105, 21, 1;

...

Row 4 represents 1*k(4)+4*k(3)*k(1)+3*k(2)^2+6*k(2)*k(1)^2+1*k(1)^4 and T(4,4)=6 since there are six ways of partitioning four labeled items into one part with two items and two parts each with one item.
