Let A(0) = 1, B(0) = 0 and C(0) = 0. Let B(n+1) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)* A(k), C(n+1) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*B(k) and A(n+1) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*C(k). This entry gives the sequence B(n).

This sequence and its companion sequences A(n) = A143815 and C(n) = A143817 may be viewed as generalizations of the Bell numbers A000110. Define R(n) = Sum_{k >= 0} (3k)^n/(3k)! for n = 0,1,2,.... Then the real number R(n) is an integral linear combination of R(0) = 1 + 1/3! + 1/6! + ...., R(2) - R(1) = 1/1! + 1/4! + 1/7! + ... and R(1) = 1/2! + 1/5! + 1/8! + .... Some examples are given below. The precise result is R(n) = A(n)*R(0) + B(n)*R(1) + C(n)*(R(2)-R(1)). This generalizes the Dobinski relation for the Bell numbers: Sum_{k >= 0} k^n/k! = A000110(n)*exp(1). See A143815 for more details. Compare with A143628 through A143631. The decimal expansions of R(0), R(2) - R(1) and R(1) may be found in A143819, A143820 and A143821 respectively.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..floor((n-1)/3)} Stirling2(n,3k+1).
Let w = exp(2*Pi*i/3) and set F(x) = (exp(x) + w^2*exp(w*x) + w*exp(w^2*x))/3 = x + x^4/4! + x^7/7! + ... . Then the e.g.f. for the sequence is F(exp(x)-1). A143815(n) + A143816(n) + A143817(n) = Bell(n).
a(n) = ( Bell_n(1) + w^2 * Bell_n(w) + w * Bell_n(w^2) )/3, where Bell_n(x) is n-th Bell polynomial and w = exp(2*Pi*i/3). - Seiichi Manyama, Oct 13 2022
