Table of n, a(n) for n=0..12.

Formula

a(n) = Bell(3*n) = A000110(3*n). - Vladeta Jovovic, Feb 02 2003

a(n) = exp(-1)*Sum_{k>=0} k^(3n)/k!.

E.g.f.: exp(x*(d_z)^3)*(exp(exp(z)-1)) |_{z=0}, with the derivative operator d_z := d/dz. Adapted from eqs. (14) and (15) of the 1999 C. M. Bender reference given in A000110.

E.g.f.: exp(-1)*Sum_{n>=0} exp(n^3*x)/n!. - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 24 2006
