COMMENTS

The (labeled) case for k=2 is A067994, the Hermite numbers. The (labeled) case for k>=1 is A000262, Number of "sets of lists".

FORMULA

egf = exp(z^3); In Maple notation: a(n) = n!*PIECEWISE([1/GAMMA(1/3*n+1), irem(n, 3) = 0], [0, irem(n-1, 3) = 0], [0, irem(n-2, 3) = 0]); recurrence: a(0) = 1, a(1) = 0, a(2) = 0, (-n-3)*a(n+3)+3*a(n).

a(n) = n!/(n/3)!, if [3|n], 0 otherwise. - Mitch Harris, Jan 19 2006

EXAMPLE

Let Z[i] denote the i-th labeled element. Then a(3) = 6 with the following six sets:

Set(Sequence(Z[3],Z[1],Z[2])), Set(Sequence(Z[2],Z[1],Z[3])), Set(Sequence(Z[3],Z[2],Z[1])), Set(Sequence(Z[2],Z[3],Z[1])), Set(Sequence(Z[1],Z[3],Z[2])), Set(Sequence(Z[1],Z[2],Z[3])).

MAPLE

A101109 := n -> n!*PIECEWISE([1/GAMMA(1/3*n+1), irem(n, 3) = 0], [0, irem(n-1, 3) = 0], [0, irem(n-2, 3) = 0]); [ seq(n!*PIECEWISE([1/GAMMA(1/3*n+1), irem(n, 3) = 0], [0, irem(n-1, 3) = 0], [0, irem(n-2, 3) = 0]), n=0..30) ];
