Wikipedia, Partition of a set

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-2,-2,1).

Formula

G.f.: -(x^3-3*x+1)/((x-1)*(x^3-x^2-3*x+1)).

a(n) = A287214(n,3).

a(n) = A000110(n) for n <= 4.

Example

a(5) = 47 = 52 - 5 = A000110(5) - 5 counts all set partitions of [5] except: 15|234, 15|23|4, 15|24|3, 15|2|34, 15|2|3|4.
