COMMENTS

FORMULA

G.f. satisfies: (1-x)*A(x-x^2) = 1 + x*A(x). G.f. satisfies: A(x) = C(x) + x*C(x)^2*A(x*C(x)), where C(x) is the Catalan function (A000108). a(n) = A000108(n) + Sum_{k=0..n-1} a(k)*C(2*n-k-1,n-k-1)*(k+2)/(n+1) for n>=0; eigensequence (shift left) of the Catalan triangle A033184.

EXAMPLE

The Bell numbers can be generated by;

1

1 2

2 3 5

5 7 10 15

where the Bell numbers are the last entry on each line. This last entry is the first entry on the next line and then the entries of the previous line are added, e.g. 7=5+2, 10=7+3, 15=10+5.

This version adds ALL of the entries in the previous column to the new entry.

1

1 2

2 4 6

6 10 16 22

where 10=6+2+1+1, 16=10+2+4, 22=16+6
