COMMENTS

a(n) = number of partitions of [n] into sets of noncrossing lists. For example, a(4) = 69 counts the 73 partitions of [n] into sets of lists (A000262) except for 13-24, 13-42, 31-24, 31-42 which are crossing. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 25 2008

FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = (1/x)*Series_Reversion( x/[Sum_{n>=0} n!*x^n] ).

G.f. satisfies: A(x) = 1/(1 - x*A(x)/(1 - x*A(x)/(1 - 2*x*A(x)/(1 - 2*x*A(x)/(1 - 3*x*A(x)/(1 - 3*x*A(x)/(1 - 4*x*A(x)/(1 - ...)))))))), a recursive continued fraction.

G.f. satisfies: A(x/F(x)) = F(x) where F(x) = Sum_{n>=0} n!*x^n.

EXAMPLE

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 13*x^3 + 69*x^4 + 421*x^5 + 2867*x^6 +...

where

A(x) = 1 + x*A(x) + 2!*x^2*A(x)^2 + 3!*x^3*A(x)^3 + 4!*x^4*A(x)^4 +...

Related expansions:

A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x + 7*x^2 + 32*x^3 + 173*x^4 + 1058*x^5 +...

A(x)^3 = 1 + 3*x + 12*x^2 + 58*x^3 + 321*x^4 + 1977*x^5 +...

A(x)^4 = 1 + 4*x + 18*x^2 + 92*x^3 + 523*x^4 + 3256*x^5 +...

A(x)^5 = 1 + 5*x + 25*x^2 + 135*x^3 + 790*x^4 + 4986*x^5 +...

MATHEMATICA

FrequencyDistribution[list_List] := Module[{set = Union[list]}, Table[{set[[i]], Count[list, set[[i]]]}, {i, Length[set]}]]; a[0] = 1; a[n_]/; n>=1 := a[n] = Apply[Plus, Module[{frequencies}, Map[(frequencies=Map[Last, FrequencyDistribution[ # ]]; Sum[frequencies]!*Apply[Multinomial, frequencies]* Product[Map[a, # ]])&, Partitions[n]-1 ]]] Table[a[n], {n, 0, 15}] - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 25 2008
