Generalized Near-Bell Numbers

چکیده
The nth near-Bell number, as defined by Beck, enumerates all possible partitions of an n-multiset with multiplicities 1, 1, 1, . . . , 1, 2. In this paper we study the sequences arising from a generalization of the near-Bell numbers, and provide a method for obtaining both their exponential and their ordinary generating functions. We derive various interesting relationships amongst both the generating functions and the sequences, and then show how to extend these results to deal with more general multisets.

On a New Family of Generalized Stirling and Bell Numbers
A new family of generalized Stirling and Bell numbers is introduced by considering powers (V U)n of the noncommuting variables U, V satisfying UV = V U +hV s. The case s = 0 (and h = 1) corresponds to the conventional Stirling numbers of second kind and Bell numbers. For these generalized Stirling numbers, the recursion relation is given and explicit expressions are derived. Furthermore, they a...
متن کاملThe Generalized Stirling and Bell Numbers Revisited
The generalized Stirling numbers Ss;h(n, k) introduced recently by the authors are shown to be a special case of the three parameter family of generalized Stirling numbers S(n, k;α, β, r) considered by Hsu and Shiue. From this relation, several properties of Ss;h(n, k) and the associated Bell numbers Bs;h(n) and Bell polynomials Bs;h|n(x) are derived. The particular case s = 2 and h = −1 corres...
متن کاملParametric Catalan Numbers and Catalan Triangles
Here presented a generalization of Catalan numbers and Catalan triangles associated with two parameters based on the sequence characterization of Bell-type Riordan arrays. Among the generalized Catalan numbers, a class of large generalized Catalan numbers and a class of small generalized Catalan numbers are defined, which can be considered as an extension of large Schröder numbers and small Sch...
متن کاملTwo Formulas for Successive Derivatives and Their Applications
Abstract We recall two formulas, due to C. Jordan, for the successive derivatives of functions with an exponential or logarithmic inner function. We apply them to get addition formulas for the Stirling numbers of the second kind and for the Stirling numbers of the first kind. Then we show how one can obtain, in a simple way, explicit formulas for the generalized Euler polynomials, generalized E...
متن کاملSpivey's Generalized Recurrence for Bell Numbers
This entry defines the Bell numbers [1] as the cardinality of set partitions for a carrier set of given size, and derives Spivey’s generalized recurrence relation for Bell numbers [2] following his elegant and intuitive combinatorial proof. As the set construction for the combinatorial proof requires construction of three intermediate structures, the main difficulty of the formalization is hand...
