COMMENTS

Row sums of A193357.

Apparently (see Brightwell-Keller, Theorem 2) this is also the number of unlabeled interval orders with n points. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 04 2011

Number of length-n ascent sequences without flat steps (i.e., no two adjacent digits are equal).  An ascent sequence is a sequence [d(1), d(2), ..., d(n)] where d(k)>=0 and d(k) <= 1 + asc([d(1), d(2), ..., d(k-1)]) and asc(.) counts the number of ascents of its argument. [Joerg Arndt, Nov 05 2012]

FORMULA

G.f.: sum(n>=0, prod(i=1..n, 1-1/(1+x)^i ) ).

a(n) = (1/n!)*Sum_{k=0..n} Stirling1(n,k)*A079144(k). a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n-1,k-1)*A022493(k).

For asymptotic behavior see Brightwell-Keller. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 04 2011

EXAMPLE

From Joerg Arndt, Nov 05 2012: (Start)

The a(4) = 5 such matrices with 4 ones are (dots for zeros):

1 . . .      1 1 .      1 . 1      1 1 .      1 . .

. 1 . .      . . 1      . 1 .      . 1 .      . 1 1

. . 1 .      . . 1      . . 1      . . 1      . . 1

. . . 1

The a(5)=16 ascent sequences without flat steps are (dots for zeros):

[ 1]   [ . 1 . 1 . ]

[ 2]   [ . 1 . 1 2 ]

[ 3]   [ . 1 . 1 3 ]

[ 4]   [ . 1 . 2 . ]

[ 5]   [ . 1 . 2 1 ]

[ 6]   [ . 1 . 2 3 ]

[ 7]   [ . 1 2 . 1 ]

[ 8]   [ . 1 2 . 2 ]

[ 9]   [ . 1 2 . 3 ]

[10]   [ . 1 2 1 . ]

[11]   [ . 1 2 1 2 ]

[12]   [ . 1 2 1 3 ]

[13]   [ . 1 2 3 . ]

[14]   [ . 1 2 3 1 ]

[15]   [ . 1 2 3 2 ]

[16]   [ . 1 2 3 4 ]

(End)
