A122368 Dimension of 4-variable non-commutative harmonics (twisted derivative). The dimension of the space of non-commutative polynomials in 4 variables which are killed by all symmetric differential operators (where for a monomial w, d_{xi} ( xi w ) = w and d_{xi} ( xj w ) = 0 for i/=j). 5

FORMULA

o.g.f. (1-3*q+2*q^2)/(1-6*q+9*q^2-3*q^3) more generally, sum( n!/(n-d)!*q^d/prod((1-r*q),r=1..d), d=0..n)/sum( q^d/prod((1-r*q),r=1..d), d=0..n) where n=4

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 3 because x1-x2, x2-x3, x3-x4 are all of degree 1 and are killed by the differential operator d_x1+d_x2+d_x3+d_x4

MAPLE

coeffs(convert(series((1-3*q+2*q^2)/(1-6*q+9*q^2-3*q^3), q, 30), `+`)-O(q^30), q);
