COMMENTS

This is the 2nd row of Table 1, p. 3 in Liskovets. The first row is A003024. Abstract: In this note we derive enumerative formulas for several types of labelled acyclic directed graphs by slight modifications of the familiar recursive formula for simple acyclic digraphs. These considerations are motivated by and based upon, recent combinatorial results in geometric topology obtained by S.Choi, who established exact correspondences between acyclic digraphs and so-called small covers over hypercubes and related polytopes. In particular, we show that the number of equivalence classes of small covers over the cartesian product of n copies of an r-simplex is equal to the number of acyclic (2^r-1)-multidigraphs of order n. Asymptotics follows easily since the main formula is represented by a simple equation in terms of special generating functions.

FORMULA

1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*exp(-4^n*x)*x^n/n!. - Vladeta Jovovic, Apr 22 2008

1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/(1 + 4^n*x)^(n+1). [From Paul D. Hanna, Oct 17 2009]

1 = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*C(n+m-1,n)*x^n/(1 + 4^n*x)^(n+m) for m>=1. [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011]

log(1+x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*(x^n/n)/(1 + 4^n*x)^n. [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011]

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1)*C(n, k)*4^(k*(n-k))*a(n-k) for n>0 with a(0)=1. [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011]

EXAMPLE

From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011: (Start)

Illustration of the generating functions.

E.g.f.: 1 = exp(-x) + exp(-4*x)*x + 7*exp(-16*x)*x^2/2! + 289*exp(-64*x)*x^3/3! +...

L.g.f.: log(1+x) = x/(1+4*x) + 7*(x^2/2)/(1+16*x)^2 + 289*(x^3/3)/(1+64*x)^3 +...

G.f.: 1 = 1/(1+x) + 1*x/(1+4*x)^2 + 7*x^2/(1+16*x)^3 + 289*x^3/(1+64*x)^4 +...

G.f.: 1 = 1/(1+x)^2 + 1*2*x/(1+4*x)^3 + 7*3*x^2/(1+16*x)^4 + 289*4*x^3/(1+64*x)^5 +...

G.f.: 1 = 1/(1+x)^3 + 1*3*x/(1+4*x)^4 + 7*6*x^2/(1+16*x)^5 + 289*10*x^3/(1+64*x)^6 +... (End)

PROG

(PARI) /* Recurrence: */

{a(n)=if(n<1, n==0, sum(k=1, n, -(-1)^k*binomial(n, k)*4^(k*(n-k))*a(n-k)))} [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011]

(PARI) /* E.g.f.: */

{a(n)=n!*polcoeff(1-sum(k=0, n-1, a(k)*exp(-4^k*x+x*O(x^n))*x^k/k!), n)} [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 1 2011]
