Comments

For the definition of a purely crossing partition refer to Dykema link (see PC(n) Definition 1.2 and Table 2).

From Gus Wiseman, Feb 23 2019: (Start)

For n >= 1, a set partition of {1,...,n} is purely crossing if it is topologically connected (A099947), has no successive elements in the same block (A000110(n - 1)), and the first and last vertices belong to different blocks (A005493(n - 2)). For example, the a(4) = 1, a(6) = 5, and a(7) = 14 purely crossing set partitions are:

{{13}{24}} {{135}{246}} {{13}{246}{57}}

{{13}{25}{46}} {{13}{257}{46}}

{{14}{25}{36}} {{135}{26}{47}}

Formula

G.f.: G(x) satisfies B(x) = x + (1 + x)*G(x) where B(x) is the g.f. of A268815 (see A(x) in Dykema link p. 7).

From Paul D. Hanna, Mar 07 2016: (Start)

O.g.f. A(x) satisfies:

(1) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} A000110(n)*x^n / ((1+x)^(2*n+1) * A(x)^n), where A000110 are the Bell numbers.

(2) A(x) = 1/(1+x) * Sum_{n>=0} x^n / Product_{k=1..n} ((1+x)^2*A(x) - k*x).

(3) A(x) = 1/(1+x - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 1*x/(1+x - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 2*x/(1+x - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 3*x/(1+x - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 4*x/(1+x - x/((1+x)*A(x) -...)))))))))), a continued fraction. (End)

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x^4 + 5*x^6 + 14*x^7 + 62*x^8 + 298*x^9 + 1494*x^10 + 8140*x^11 + 47146*x^12 +...
