Defining * and w as above and writing x_i compactly as xi, we have x1*(x2*(x3*(x4*(x5*(x6*(x7*(x8*(x9)))))))) = x1+wx2+w^2x3+w^3x4+w^4x5+w^5x6+w^6x7+x8+wx9 = x1*(x2*(x3*(x4*(x5*(x6*(x7*(x8)))))))*(x9). For n=8 and k=7, these are the only parenthesizations that give the same value for x1*...*x9, so C_{8,7}=1430-1=1429. %t A261590 terms = 30; col[k_] := Module[{G}, G = InverseSeries[x*(1 - x)/(1 - x^k) + O[x]^terms, x]; CoefficientList[1/(1 - G), x]]; %t A261590 col[7] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Dec 05 2017, after _Andrew Howroyd_ *) %o A261590 (PARI) Vec(1/(1-serreverse(x*(1-x)/(1-x^7) + O(x*x^25)))) \\ _Andrew Howroyd_, Dec 04 2017 %o A261590 (Sage) %o A261590 def C(k): %o A261590 print(1) %o A261590 for n in range(1,51): %o A261590 f = ((1-x^k)/(1-x))^n # ((x+1)^2-x^2*(x/(x+1))^(k-2))^n %o A261590 f = f.simplify_full() %o A261590 C = 0 %o A261590 for i in range(n): %o A261590 C = C + (n-i)*f.coefficient(x,i)/n %o A261590 print(C) %o A261590 time C(7) %Y A261590 Column k=7 of A295679. %Y A261590 C_{n,1} is the all 1's sequence A000012.
