Let A(0)=1, B(0)=0 and C(0)=0. Let B(n+1) = sum {k = 0..n) binomial(n,k)*A(k), C(n+1) = sum {k = 0..n) binomial(n,k)*B(k) and A(n+1) = sum {k = 0..n) binomial(n,k)*C(k). This entry gives the sequence C(n).

COMMENTS
| Compare with A024429 and A024430.
This sequence and its companion sequences A(n) = A143815 and B(n) = A143816 may be viewed as generalizations of the Bell numbers A000110. Define R(n) = sum {k = 0..inf} (3k)^n/(3k)! for n = 0,1,2,... . Then the real number R(n) is an integral linear combination of R(0) = 1 + 1/3! + 1/6! + ...., R(2) - R(1) = 1/1! + 1/4! + 1/7! + ... and R(1) = 1/2! + 1/5! + 1/8! + ... . Some examples are given below. The precise result is R(n) = A(n)*R(0) + B(n)*R(1) + C(n)*(R(2)-R(1)). This generalizes the Dobinski relation for the Bell numbers: sum {k = 0..inf} k^n/k! = A000110(n)*exp(1). See A143815 for more details. Compare with A143628 - A143631. The decimal expansions of R(0), R(2) - R(1) and R(1) may be found in A143819, A143820 and A143821 respectively.

FORMULA
| a(n) = sum {k = 0..floor((n-2)/3)} Stirling2(n,3k+2). Let w = exp(2*Pi*i/3) and set F(x) = (exp(x) + w*exp(w*x) + w^2*exp(w^2*x))/3 = x^2/2! + x^5/5! + x^8/8! + ... . Then the e.g.f. for the sequence is F(exp(x)-1). A143815(n) + A143816(n) + A143817(n) = Bell(n).
