COMMENTS

A family of polynomials is defined by P(0,x) = u(0), P(n,x) = u(n) +x*Sum_{i=0..n-1} u(i)*P(n-i-1,x), where u(n) is the n-th Bernoulli number. The coefficients of P(n-1,x) are used to fill the n-th row of the infinite lower triangle matrix M. Then a(n) is given by M^(-1)[n,1] * n!.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 2, because M = [1; -1/2 1; 1/6 -1 1; ...], M^(-1) = [1; 1/2 1; 1/3 1 1; ...], and (1/3)*3! = 2.

MAPLE

P:= proc(n) option remember; local i, u, x; u:= bernoulli; `if` (n=0, u(0), unapply (expand (u(n) +x *add (u(i) *P(n-i-1)(x), i=0..n-1)), x)) end: a:= n-> (1/Matrix (n, (i, j)-> coeff (P(i-1)(x), x, j-1)))[n, 1] *n!: seq (a(n), n=1..30);

MATHEMATICA

p[0, x_] = BernoulliB[0]; p[n_, x_] := p[n, x] = BernoulliB[n] + x*Sum[BernoulliB[i]*p[n-i-1, x], {i, 0, n-1}]; t[m_] := Table[ PadRight[CoefficientList[p[n, x], x], m+1], {n, 0, m}]; mmax = 20; Inverse[t[mmax-1]][[All, 1]]*Range[mmax]!
