COMMENTS

T(n,k) is the number of partitions of a set of size 2*n into k blocks of even size [Comtet]. For partitions into odd sized blocks see A136630.

FORMULA

Recursion: T(n,1)=1 for 1<=n; T(n,k)=0 for 1<=n<k;

T(n,k)=(2k-1)*T(n-1,k-1)+k^2*T(n-1,k) 1<k<=n.

Generating function for the k-th column of the triangle T(i+k,k):

G(k,x) = Sum(i=0,Infinity; T(i+k,k)*x^i) = Product(j=1,k; (2j-1)/(1-j^2*x).

Closed form expression for T(n,k):

T(n,k) = 2/(k!*2^k)*sum {j = 1..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(2*k,k-j)*j^(2*n).

From Peter Bala

GENERATING FUNCTION

E.g.f. (including a constant 1):

(1)... F(x,z) = exp(x*(cosh(z)-1)

= sum{n>=0} R(n,x)*z^(2*n)/(2*n)!

= 1+x*z^2/2!+(x+3*x^2)*z^4/4!+(x+15*x^2+15*x^3)*z^6/6

+ ....

ROW POLYNOMIALS

The row polynomials R(n,x) begin

... R(1,x) = x

... R(2,x) = x+3*x^2

... R(3,x) = x+15*x^2+15*x^3.

The egf F(x,z) satisfies the partial differential equation

(2)... d^2/dz^2(F) = x*F + x*(2*x+1)*F' + x^2*F'',

where ' denotes differentiation wrt x. Hence the row polynomials satisfy the

recurrence relation

(3)... R(n+1,x) = x*{R(n,x)+(2*x+1)*R'(n,x)+x*R''(n,x)}

with R(0,x) = 1. The recurrence relation for T(n,k) given above follows from this.

(4)... T(n,k) = (2*k-1)!!*A036969(n,k).

T(3,3) = 15. The 15 partitions of the set [6] into three even blocks are:

(12)(34)(56), (12)(35)(46), (12)(36)(45),

(13)(24)(56), (13)(25)(46), (13)(26)(45),

(14)(23)(56), (14)(25)(36), (14)(26)(35),

(15)(23)(46), (15)(24)(36), (15)(26)(34),

(16)(23)(45), (16)(24)(35), (16)(25)(34).

Examples of recurrence relation

T(4,3) = 5*T(3,2)+9*T(3,3) = 5*15+9*15 = 210;

T(6,5) = 9*T(5,4)+25*T(5,5) = 9*3150+25*945 = 51975.
