cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Number of permutations of n+1 elements with exactly two cycles.
Number of cycles in all permutations of [n]. Example: a(3) = 11 because the permutations (1)(2)(3), (1)(23), (12)(3), (13)(2), (132), (123) have 11 cycles altogether. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 12 2004
Row sums of A094310: In the symmetric group S_n, each permutation factors into k independent cycles; a(n) = sum k over S_n. - Harley Flanders (harley(AT)umich.edu), Jun 28 2004
The sum of the top levels of the last column over all deco polyominoes of height n. A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column. Example: a(2)=3 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, the levels of their last columns being 2 and 1, respectively. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 12 2006
a(n) is divisible by n for all composite n >= 6. a(2*n) is divisible by 2*n + 1. - Leroy Quet, May 20 2007
For n >= 2 the determinant of the n-1 X n-1 matrix M(i,j) = i + 2 for i = j and 1 otherwise (i,j = 1..n-1). E.g., for n = 3 the determinant of [(3, 1), (1, 4)]. See 53rd Putnam Examination, 1992, Problem B5. - Franz Vrabec, Jan 13 2008, Mar 26 2008
The numerator of the fraction when we sum (without simplification) the terms in the harmonic sequence. (1 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2; 3/2 + 1/3 = 9/6 + 2/6 = 11/6; 11/6 + 1/4 = 44/24 + 6/24 = 50/24;...). The denominator of this fraction is n!*A000142. - Eric Desbiaux, Jan 07 2009
The asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=2,n=1) ~ exp(-x)/x^2*(1 - 3/x + 11/x^2 - 50/x^3 + 274/x^4 - 1764/x^5 + 13068/x^6 - ...) leads to the sequence given above. See A163931 and A028421 for more information. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 20 2009
a(n) is the number of permutations of [n+1] containing exactly 2 cycles. Example: a(2) = 3 because the permutations (1)(23), (12)(3), (13)(2) are the only permutations of [3] with exactly 2 cycles. - Tom Woodward (twoodward(AT)macalester.edu), Nov 12 2009
It appears that, with the exception of n= 4, a(n) mod n = 0 if n is composite and = n-1 if n is prime. - Gary Detlefs, Sep 11 2010
a(n) is a multiple of A025527(n). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 16 2012
Numerator of harmonic number H(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} 1/i when not reduced. See A001008 (Wolstenholme numbers) for the reduced numerators. - Rahul Jha, Feb 18 2015
The Stirling transform of this sequence is A222058(n) (Harmonic-geometric numbers). - Anton Zakharov, Aug 07 2016
a(n) is the (n-1)-st elementary symmetric function of the first n numbers. - Anton Zakharov, Nov 02 2016
The n-th iterated integral of log(x) is x^n * (n! * log(x) - a(n))/(n!)^2 + a polynomial of degree n-1 with arbitrary coefficients. This can be proven using the recurrence relation a(n) = (n-1)! + n*a(n-1). - Mohsen Maesumi, Oct 31 2018
Primes p such that p^3 | a(p-1) are the Wolstenholme primes A088164. - Amiram Eldar and Thomas Ordowski, Aug 08 2019
Total number of left-to-right maxima (or minima) in all permutations of [n]. a(3) = 11 = 3+2+2+2+1+1: (1)(2)(3), (1)(3)2, (2)1(3), (2)(3)1, (3)12, (3)21. - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 01 2020

Programs

  • Maple
    a := n -> add(combinat[eulerian1](n, k)*k^2, k = 0..n):
# Recurrence:
a := proc(n) option remember; if n < 2 then 0 elif n = 2 then 1 else
((n-3)*(n-1)*(23*n-44)*a(n-2) + ((159 - 7*n)*n - 286)*a(n-1))/(16*(n - 2)) fi end:
seq(a(n), n = 0..29);
  • Mathematica
    a[n_] := Sum[Sum[(-1)^j Binomial[n + 1, j] k^2 (k + 1 - j)^n, {j,0,k}], {k,0,n}]; a[0] := 0; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 25}]
  • SageMath
    def aList(len):
    R. = PowerSeriesRing(QQ, default_prec=len+2)
    f = x^2*(-x^2 + x - 3)/(6*(x - 1)^3)
    return f.egf_to_ogf().list()[:len]
print(aList(20))

Formula

a(n) = n! * [x^n] x^2*(-x^2 + x - 3)/(6*(x - 1)^3).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j*binomial(n + 1, j)*k^2*(k + 1 - j)^n.
a(n) = ((n - 3)*(n - 1)*(23*n - 44)*a(n-2) + ((159 - 7*n)*n - 286)*a(n-1))/(16*(n - 2)) for n >= 3.
