Comments

Multiset transformation of A000108. Each word is dissected by a number of parentheses associated to its length.

Also the number of forests of exactly k (unlabeled) ordered rooted trees with a total of n non-root nodes where each tree has at least 1 non-root node. - Alois P. Heinz, Sep 20 2017

Formula

T(n,1) = A000108(n).

T(n,k) = Sum_{c_i*N_i=n,i=1..k} binomial(T(N_i,1)+c_i-1,c_i) for 1<k<=n.

G.f.: Product_{j>=1} 1/(1-y*x^j)^A000108(j). - Alois P. Heinz, Apr 13 2017
