%N Triangle T(n,k) = C_n(k)/2^(k*(k-1)/2) where C_n(k) = number of k-colored labeled graphs with n nodes (n >= 1, 1 <= k <= n).

%C From _Peter Bala_, Apr 12 2013: (Start)

%C A coloring of a simple graph G is a choice of color for each graph vertex such that no two vertices sharing the same edge have the same color.

%C Let E(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} x^n/(n!*2^C(n,2)) = 1 + x + x^2/(2*2!) + x^3/(2^3*3!) + .... Read has shown that (E(x) - 1)^k is a generating function for labeled graphs on n nodes that can be colored using exactly k colors. Cases include A213441 (k = 2), A213442 (k = 3) and A224068 (k = 4).

%C If colorings of a graph using k colors are counted as the same if they differ only by a permutation of the colors then a generating function is 1/k!*(E(x) - 1)^k , which is a generating function for the k-th column of A058843. Removing a further factor of 2^C(k,2) gives 1/(k!*2^C(k,2))*(E(x) - 1)^k as a generating function for the k-th column of this triangle. (End)

%F C_n(k) = Sum_{i=1..n-1} binomial(n, i)*2^(i*(n-i))*C_i(k-1)/k.

%F From _Peter Bala_, Apr 12 2013: (Start)

%F Recurrence equation: T(n,k) = 1/2^(k-1)*Sum_{i = 1..n-1} binomial(n-1,i)*2^(i*(n-i))*T(i,k-1).

%F Let E(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} x^n/(n!*2^C(n,2)) = 1 + x + x^2/(2!*2) + x^3/(3!*2^3) + .... Then a generating function for this triangle is E(x*(E(z) - 1)) = 1 + x*z + (x + x^2 )*z^2/(2!*2) + (x + 6*x^2 + x^3)*z^3/(3!*2^3) + (x + 40*x^2 + 24*x^3 + x^4)*z^4/(4!*2^6) + .... Cf. A008277 with e.g.f. exp(x*(exp(z) - 1)).

%F The row polynomials R(n,x) satisfy the recurrence equation R(n,x) = x*sum {k = 0..n-1} binomial(n-1,k)*2^(k*(n-k))*R(k,x/2) with R(0,x) = 1. The row polynomials appear to have only real zeros.

%F Column 2 = 1/(2!*2)*A213441; column 3 = 1/(3!*2^3)*A213442; column 4 = 1/(4!*2^6)*A224068. (End)
