Comments

For the definition of these special purely crossing partitions refer to Dykema link (see PC+(n) Definition 2.1 and Table 2).

From Gus Wiseman, Feb 23 2019: (Start)

a(n) is the number of topologically connected (A099947) set partitions of {1,...,n} with no successive elements in the same block. For example, the a(4) = 1 through a(7) = 19 set partitions are:

{{13}{24}} {{135}{24}} {{135}{246}} {{1357}{246}}

{{13}{25}{46}} {{13}{246}{57}}

{{14}{25}{36}} {{13}{257}{46}}

Formula

G.f.: G(x) satisfies C(x) = G(x/1-x) where C(x) is the g.f. of A099947 (see B(x) in Dykema link p. 7).

From Paul D. Hanna, Mar 07 2016: (Start)

O.g.f. A(x) satisfies

(1) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} A000110(n)*x^n/((1+x)^n*A(x)^n), where A000110 are the Bell numbers.

(2) A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n / Product_{k=1..n} ((1+x)*A(x) - k*x).

(3) A(x) = 1/(1 - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 1*x/(1 - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 2*x/(1 - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 3*x/(1 - x/((1+x)*A(x) - 4*x/(1 - x/((1+x)*A(x) - ... )))))))))), a continued fraction. (End)
