A086365 n-th Bell number of type D. A partition of {-n,...,-1,1,...,n} into nonempty subsets X_1,...,X_r is called `symmetric' if for each i -X_i = X_j for some j. a(n) is the number of such symmetric partitions such that none of the X_i are of the form {j,-j}. 1

FORMULA

E.g.f. (with another 1 prepended): exp(-x+sum(j=1,2,(exp(j*x)-1)/j)) [Joerg Arndt, Apr 29 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=4 because the relevant partitions of {-2,-1,1,2} are {-2|-1|1|2}, {-2,-1|1,2}, {-2,1|-1,2} and {-2,-1,1,2}.

PROG

(Pari) x='x+O('x^66); /* that many terms */

egf=exp(-x+sum(j=1, 2, (exp(j*x)-1)/j)) - 1; /* = +x +2*x^2 +5/2*x^3 +25/8*x^4 +... */

Vec(serlaplace(egf)) /* show terms */ /* Joerg Arndt, Apr 29 2011 */
