COMMENTS

Or, if the initial 0 is omitted, this is the binomial transform of the partition numbers p(1), p(2), ... = 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 30, ... (A000041 without the initial 1).

The most precise definition of this sequence is the Maple combstruct command given below. See the first Wieder link for further details.

Sequence appears to have a rational o.g.f. - Ralf Stephan, May 18 2007

Starting (1, 3, 8, 21, 54, 137,...), = row sums of triangle A137151 - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 23 2008

FORMULA

O.g.f.: exp( Sum_{n>=1} sigma(n)*x^n/(1-x)^n/n ) - 1. [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 21 2010]

O.g.f.: exp( Sum_{n>=1} x^n/n * Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(n,k)*sigma(k) ) - 1. [From Paul D. Hanna, Feb 04 2012]

O.g.f. P(x/(1-x)), where P(x) is the o.g.f. for number of partitions (A000041) a(n)=sum_{k=1,n} ( binomial(n-1,k-1)*A000041(k)) [From Kruchinin Vladimir, Aug 10 2010]

EXAMPLE

Let {} denote a set, [] a list and Z an unlabeled element.

a(3) = 8 because we have {[[Z]],[[Z]],[[Z]]}, {[[Z],[Z]],[[Z]]}, {[[Z],[Z],[Z]]}, {[[Z],[Z,Z]]}, {[[Z,Z],[Z]]}, {[[Z,Z]],[[Z]]}, {[[Z]],[[Z,Z]]}, {[[Z,Z,Z]]}.

MAPLE

with(combstruct); SubSetSeqU := [T, {T=Subst(U, S), S=Set(U, card>=1), U=Sequence(Z, card>=1)}, unlabeled]; [seq(count(SubSetSeqU, size=n), n=0..30)];

allstructs(SubSetSeq, size=3); # to get the structures for n=3 - this output is shown in the example lines.

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=if(n<1, 0, polcoeff(exp(sum(m=1, n, sigma(m)*x^m/(1-x+x*O(x^n))^m/m)), n))} [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 21 2010]

(PARI) {a(n)=if(n<1, 0, polcoeff(exp(sum(m=1, n, x^m/m*sum(k=1, m, binomial(m, k)*sigma(k)))+x*O(x^n)), n))} [From Paul D. Hanna, Feb 04 2012]
