%N Invert transform of the Bell numbers.

%C The following definition of the invert transform leads to the understanding of A129247 [M. Bernstein & N. J. A. Sloane, Some canonical sequences of integers, Linear Algebra and its Applications, 226-228 (1995), 57-72]: "b_n is the number of ordered arrangements of postage stamps of total value n that can be formed if we have a_i types of stamps of value i, i >= 1."

%C Hankel transform is A000178. [_Paul Barry_, Jan 08 2009]

%C A129247 = INVERT transform of the Bell sequence starting with offset 1: (1, 2, 5,...). A137551 = INVERT transform of the Bell sequence starting with offset 0: (1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 52,...). [_Gary W. Adamson_, May 24 2009]

%F G.f.: 1/(U(0) - 2*x) where U(k) = 1 - x*(k+1)/(1 - x/U(k+1)); (continued fraction, 2-step). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Nov 12 2012

%F G.f.: 1/( Q(0) - 2*x ) where Q(k)=1 + x/(x*k - 1 )/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Feb 23 2013

%F G.f.: 1/(Q(0) - x), where Q(k)= 1 - x - x/(1 - x*(2*k+1)/(1 - x - x/(1 - 2*x*(k+1)/Q(k+1)))); (continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, May 12 2013

%e We have Bell(i) types of an integer i with i=1,2,...,n, where Bell(i) is the i-th Bell number.

%e We write i_j for integer i of type j.

%e a(2)=3 because

%e {1_1,1_1}

%e {2_1}, {2_2}.

%e a(3)=10 because

%e {1_1,1_1,1_1},

%e {1_1,2_1}, {2_1,1_1},

%e {1_1,2_2}, {2_2,1_1}

%e {3_1}, {3_2}, {3_3}, {3_4}, {3_5}.
