A122391 Dimension of 2-variable non-commutative harmonics (Hausdorff derivative). The dimension of the space of non-commutative polynomials in 2 variables which are killed by all symmetric differential operators (where for a monomial w, d_{xi} ( w ) = sum over all subwords of w deleting xi once). 5

COMMENTS

Except for first couple of terms, series agrees with A003945

a(n) written in base 2: a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1, a(2) = 1, a(n) for n >= 3: 11, 110, 11000, 110000, ..., i.e.: 2 times 1, (n-3) times 0 (see A003953(n-2). [From Jaroslav Krizek (jaroslav.krizek(AT)atlas.cz), Aug 17 2009]

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-q)*(1-q^2)/(1-2*q) 2^n - 2^(n-1) - 2^(n-2) + 2^(n-3) (for n>2) a(0) = 1, a(1) = 1, a(2) = 1, a(n) = 3*2^(n-3) for n>2

a(n) = 3*2^(n-3) = 2^(n-3) + 2^(n-2) for n >= 3. [From Jaroslav Krizek (jaroslav.krizek(AT)atlas.cz), Aug 17 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1 because x1 - x2 is killed by d_x1 + d_x2

a(2) = 1 because x1 x2 - x2 x1 is killed by d_x1+d_x2, d_x1^2 + d_x2^2

a(3) = 3 because x1 x1 x2 - 2 x1 x2 x1 + x2 x1 x1, x1 x2 x2 - 2 x2 x1 x2 + x2 x2 x1, x1 x1 x2 - x1 x2 x1 - x2 x1 x2 + x2 x2 x1 are all killed by d_x1 + d_x2, d_x1^2 + d_x2^2, d_x1 d_x2, d_x1^3 + d_x2^3 and d_x1^2 d_x2 + d_x1 d_x2^2

MAPLE
