Comments

For the formal Laurent series f(z) = a_0 z + a_1 + a_2 / z + a_3 / z^2 + ..., the formal compositional inverse is g(z) = b_0 z + b_1 + b_2 / z + b_3 / z^2 + ..., whose coefficients are partition polynomials whose numerical factors are those of this irregular triangle T(n,k). For the Schur coefficients defined in the formula section, -b_n = K_{n}^{n-1} / (n-1) for n > 1.

Analytic proofs of the relationship between the partition polynomials of the compositional inverse pair of Laurent series and Schur's self-convolution expansion coefficients are given in Schur (beware of a sign error) and in Airault and Ren.

Explicit examples (with a_0=1) of K_{n}^{n-1} up through n=5 are in Airault and Bouali on p. 182.

Various formulas for the b_n in terms of the associahedra (A133437), noncrossing (A134264), reciprocal (A263633), and Faber partition (A263916) polynomials are given in Copeland as well as a derivation of the explicit multi-factorial expression in the formula section and a combinatorial model.

Formula

The index notations b(n), b_n, and bn are used interchangeably in this entry for indeterminates.

For n > 1, b_n(a_0,a_1,...,a_n) is a sum of monomials of the form a0^{e0} a1^{e1} a2^{e2} ... an^{en} with e1 * 1 + e2 * 2 + ... + en * n = n. When a_0 is not set to unity, e0 + e1 + ... + en = n - 1. (a1^n is not present.)

From a combinatorial argument in Copeland, the unsigned numerical coefficient of the monomial is given by (n-2)! / [(n - 1 - (e1 + e2 + ... + en))! e1! e2! ... en!].

The partition polynomials are generated by a subset of the Schur self-convolution expansion coefficients as -b_n = K_{n}^{n-1} / (n-1) =(D_{x=0}^n / n!) (a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + ... + a_n x^n)^{n-1} / (n-1).

Row sums are the Catalan numbers A000108, ignoring the overall sign, for b_1 onwards.

Reduces to the Narayana triangle A001263 with a_0 = t and all the other indeterminates unity, ignoring the overall sign, for b_2 onwards.

Reduces to A091869 (reversed A091187) with a_1 = t and all the other indeterminates unity, ignoring the overall sign, for b_2 onwards.

b_n(c_1,...,c_n) = - Sum_{k=0}^{n-1} b_k(c_1,...,c_k) N_{n-k}(c_1,...,c_{n-k}) with c_0 = 1 and N_k(c_1,...,c_k) the noncrossing partition polynomials of A134264.

[b] = [R][N], representing the substitution of the noncrossing partition polynomials of A134264 for the indeterminates of the signed reciprocal polynomials of A263633 defined by R_n = 1 / (1 + c_1 x + c_2 x^2 + ...).

Conversely, [R][b] = [N] since the substitution transformation denoted by [R] is an involution, i.e., [R]^2 = [I], the identity substitution.

[b] = [R][A][R], a substitutional conjugation of the set of associahedra partition polynomials of A133147, or A111785, with re-indexing and (1') = 1, e.g., A_0 = 1, A_1 = -c_1, and A_2 = 2 c_1^2 - c_2.

Conversely, [A] = [R][b][R].
