This is the total number of hierarchies of n labeled elements arranged on 1 to n levels. A distribution of elements onto levels is "hierarchical" if a level l+1 contains <= elements than level l. Thus for n=4 the arrangement {1,2}:{3}{4} is not allowed. See also A140585. Examples: Let the colon ":" separate two consecutive levels l and l+1. Then n=2 --> 3: {1}{2}, {1}:{2}, {2}:{1}, n=3 --> 10: {1}{2}{3}, {1}{2}:{3}, {3}{1}:{2}, {2}{3}:{1}, {1}:{2}:{3}, {3}:{1}:{2}, {2}:{3}:{1}, {1}:{3}:{2}, {2}:{1}:{3}, {3}:{2}:{1}. - Thomas Wieder, May 17 2008
n identical objects are painted by dipping them into a long row of cans of paint of distinct colors. Begining with the first can and not skipping any cans k, 1<=k<=n, objects are dipped (painted) and not more objects are dipped into any subsequent can than were dipped into the previous can. The painted objects are then linearly ordered. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jun 08 2009
a(n) is the number of partitions of n where each part i is marked with a word of length i over an n-ary alphabet whose letters appear in alphabetical order and all n letters occur exactly once in the partition. a(3) = 10: 3abc, 2ab1c, 2ac1b, 2bc1a, 1a1b1c, 1a1c1b, 1b1a1c, 1b1c1a, 1c1a1b, 1c1b1a. - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 30 2015
Also the number of ordered set partitions of {1,...,n} with weakly decreasing block sizes. - Gus Wiseman, Sep 03 2018
The parity of a(n) is that of A000110(A000120(n)), so a(n) is even if and only if A000120(n) == 2 (mod 3). - Álvar Ibeas, Aug 11 2020

Examples

			For n=3, say the first three cans in the row contain red, white, and blue paint respectively. The objects can be painted r,r,r or r,r,w or r,w,b and then linearly ordered in 1 + 3 + 6 = 10 ways. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Jun 08 2009
From _Gus Wiseman_, Sep 03 2018: (Start)
The a(3) = 10 ordered set partitions with weakly decreasing block sizes:
  {{1},{2},{3}}
  {{1},{3},{2}}
  {{2},{1},{3}}
  {{2},{3},{1}}

Comments

Suppose that p = x(1) >= x(2) >= ... >= x(k) is a partition of n. Let y(1) > y(2) > ... > y(h) be the distinct parts of p, and let m(i) be the multiplicity of y(i) for 1 <= i <= h. Then we can "look" at p as "m(1) y(1)'s and m(2) y(2)'s and ... m(h) y(h)'s". Reversing the m's and y's, we can then "say" the Look-and-Say partition of p, denoted by LS(p). The name "Look-and-Say" follows the example of Look-and-Say integer sequences (e.g., A005150). As p ranges through the partitions of n, LS(p) ranges through all the Look-and-Say partitions of n. The number of these is A239455(n).
The Look-and-Say array is distinct from the Wilf array, described at A098859; for example, the number of Look-and-Say partitions of 9 is A239455(9) = 16, whereas the number of Wilf partitions of 9 is A098859(9) = 15. The Look-and-Say partition of 9 which is not a Wilf partition of 9 is [2,2,2,1,1,1].
Conjecture: a partition is Look-and-Say iff it has a permutation with all distinct run-lengths. For example, the partition y = (2,2,2,1,1,1) has the permutation (2,2,1,1,1,2), with run-lengths (2,3,1), which are all distinct, so y is counted under a(9). - Gus Wiseman, Aug 11 2025
Also the number of integer partitions y of n such that there is a pairwise disjoint way to choose a strict integer partition of each multiplicity (or run-length) of y. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 11 2025

Examples

			The 11 partitions of 6 generate 7 Look-and-Say partitions as follows:
6 -> 111111
51 -> 111111
42 -> 111111
411 -> 21111
33 -> 222
321 -> 111111
3111 -> 3111
222 -> 33
2211 -> 222
21111 -> 411
111111 -> 6,
so that a(6) counts these 7 partitions: 111111, 21111, 222, 3111, 33, 411, 6.

a(n) is asymptotic to 2^(n+1)/n. More precisely, I conjecture for any m > 0, a(n) = 2^(n+1)/n * Sum_{k=0..m} A000670(k)/n^k + o(1/n^(m+1)) (A000670 = preferential arrangements of n labeled elements) which can be written a(n) = 2^n/n * 2 + Sum_{k=1..m} A000629(k)/n^k + o(1/n^(m+1)) (A000629 = necklaces of sets of labeled beads). In fact I conjecture that a(n) = 2^(n+1)/n * (1 + 1/n + 3/n^2 + 13/n^3 + 75/n^4 + 541/n^5 + o(1/n^5)). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 20 2002

a(n) is the number of labeled series-reduced rooted trees with n leaves (root has degree 0 or >= 2); a(n-1) = number of labeled series-reduced trees with n leaves. Also number of series-parallel networks with n labeled edges, divided by 2.
A total partition of n is essentially what is meant by the first part of the previous line: take the numbers 12...n, and partition them into at least two blocks. Partition each block with at least 2 elements into at least two blocks. Repeat until only blocks of size 1 remain. (See the reference to Stanley, Vol. 2.) - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 03 2016

Also the number of singleton-reduced phylogenetic trees with n labels. A phylogenetic tree is a series-reduced rooted tree whose leaves are (usually disjoint) nonempty sets. It is singleton-reduced if no non-leaf node covers only singleton branches. For example, the a(4) = 26 trees are:
{1,2,3,4} {{1},{2},{3,4}} {{1},{2,3,4}}

A rooted tree is series-reduced if it has no unary branchings, so every non-leaf node covers at least two other nodes. The a(4) = 26 series-reduced rooted trees with 4 labeled leaves are the following. Each bracket (...) corresponds to a non-leaf node.
  (1234)  ((12)34)  ((123)4)
          (1(23)4)  (1(234))
          (12(34))  ((124)3)
          (1(24)3)  ((134)2)
          ((13)24)  (((12)3)4)
          ((14)23)  ((1(23))4)
                    ((12)(34))

Formula

E.g.f. A(x) satisfies exp A(x) = 2*A(x) - x + 1.
a(0)=0, a(1)=a(2)=1; for n >= 2, a(n+1) = (n+2)*a(n) + 2*Sum_{k=2..n-1} binomial(n, k)*a(k)*a(n-k+1).
a(1)=1; for n>1, a(n) = -(n-1) * a(n-1) + Sum_{k=1..n-1} binomial(n, k) * a(k) * a(n-k). - Michael Somos, Jun 04 2012
From the umbral operator L in A135494 acting on x^n comes, umbrally, (a(.) + x)^n = (n * x^(n-1) / 2) - (x^n / 2) + Sum_{j>=1} j^(j-1) * (2^(-j) / j!) * exp(-j/2) * (x + j/2)^n giving a(n) = 2^(-n) * Sum_{j>=1} j^(n-1) * ((j/2) * exp(-1/2))^j / j! for n > 1. - Tom Copeland, Feb 11 2008
Let h(x) = 1/(2-exp(x)), an e.g.f. for A000670, then the n-th term of A000311 is given by ((h(x)*d/dx)^n)x evaluated at x=0, i.e., A(x) = exp(x*a(.)) = exp(x*h(u)*d/du) u evaluated at u=0. Also, dA(x)/dx = h(A(x)). - Tom Copeland, Sep 05 2011 (The autonomous differential eqn. here is also on p. 59 of Jones. - Tom Copeland, Dec 16 2019)
A134991 gives (b.+c.)^n = 0^n, for (b_n)=A000311(n+1) and (c_0)=1, (c_1)=-1, and (c_n)=-2* A000311(n) = -A006351(n) otherwise. E.g., umbrally, (b.+c.)^2 = b_2*c_0 + 2 b_1*c_1 + b_0*c_2 =0. - Tom Copeland, Oct 19 2011
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n-1} (n+k-1)!*Sum_{j=1..k} (1/(k-j)!)*Sum_{i=0..j} 2^i*(-1)^i*Stirling2(n+j-i-1, j-i)/((n+j-i-1)!*i!), n>1, a(0)=0, a(1)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 28 2012
Using L. Comtet's identity and D. Wasserman's explicit formula for the associated Stirling numbers of second kind (A008299) one gets: a(n) = Sum_{m=1..n-1} Sum_{i=0..m} (-1)^i * binomial(n+m-1,i) * Sum_{j=0..m-i} (-1)^j * ((m-i-j)^(n+m-1-i))/(j! * (m-i-j)!). - Peter Regner, Oct 08 2012

The beginning of this sequence does not quite agree with the usual version, which is A173018. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 21 2010
Each row of A123125 is the reverse of the corresponding row in A173018. - Michael Somos, Mar 17 2011
A008292 (subtriangle for k>=1 and n>=1) is the main entry for these numbers.
Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows given by [0,1,0,2,0,3,0,4,0,5,0,...] DELTA [1,0,2,0,3,0,4,0,5,0,6,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938.
Row sums are the factorials. - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson, Aug 14 2008
If the initial zero column is deleted, the result is A008292. - Roger L. Bagula and Gary W. Adamson, Aug 14 2008
This result gives an alternative method of calculating the Eulerian numbers by an Umbral Calculus expansion from Comtet. - Roger L. Bagula, Nov 21 2009
This function seems to be equivalent to the PolyLog expansion. - Roger L. Bagula, Nov 21 2009
A raising operator formed from the e.g.f. of this entry is the generator of a sequence of polynomials p(n,x;t) defined in A046802 that specialize to those for A119879 as p(n,x;-1), A007318 as p(n,x;0), A073107 as p(n,x;1), and A046802 as p(n,0;t). See Copeland link for more associations. - Tom Copeland, Oct 20 2015
The Eulerian numbers in this setup count the permutation trees of power n and width k (see the Luschny link). For the associated combinatorial statistic over permutations see the Sage program below and the example section. - Peter Luschny, Dec 09 2015 [See Elder et al. link. Peter Luschny, Jul 13 2022]
From Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 03 2017: (Start)
The row polynomials R(n, x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*x^k are the numerator polynomials of the o.g.f. G(n, x) of n-powers {m^n}_{m>=0} (with 0^0 = 1): G(n, x) = R(n, x)/(1-x)^(n+1). See the Aug 14 2008 formula, where f(x,n) = R(n, x). The e.g.f. of R(n, t) is given in Copeland's Oct 14 2015 formula below.
The first nine column sequences are A000007, A000012, A000295, A000460, A000498, A000505, A000514, A001243, A001244. (End)
With all offsets 0, let A_n(x;y) = (y + E.(x))^n, an Appell sequence in y where E.(x)^k = E_k(x) are the Eulerian polynomials of this entry, A123125. Then the row polynomials of A046802 (the h-polynomials of the stellahedra) are given by h_n(x) = A_n(x;1); the row polynomials of A248727 (the face polynomials of the stellahedra), by f_n(x) = A_n(1 + x;1); the Swiss-knife polynomials of A119879, by Sw_n(x) = A_n(-1;1 + x); and the row polynomials of the Worpitsky triangle (A130850), by w_n(x) = A(1 + x;0). Other specializations of A_n(x;y) give A090582 (the f-polynomials of the permutohedra, cf. also A019538) and A028246 (another version of the Worpitsky triangle). - Tom Copeland, Jan 24 2020
Let b(n) = (1/(n+1))*Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^(n-k+1)*T(n, k+1) / binomial(n, k+1). Then b(n) = Bernoulli(n, 1) = -n*Zeta(1 - n) = Integral_{x=0..1} F_n(x) for n >= 1. Here F_n(x) are the signed Fubini polynomials (A278075). (See also Rzadkowski and Urlinska, example 1.) - Peter Luschny, Feb 15 2021
Patrick J. Burchell (see link) describes the following method: To get the k-th row of the triangle write the nonnegative integers with a fixed exponent k as a sequence, 0^k, 1^k, 2^k, ..., and then apply the first differences to them k + 1 times. - Peter Luschny, Apr 02 2023

Recurrence: T(5, 3) = (6-3)*T(4, 2) + 3*T(4, 3) = 3*11 + 3*11 = 66.
O.g.f. column k=2: (x/(1 - 2*x))*E_x*(x/(1-x)) = (x/(1-x))^2/(1-2*x).
E.g.f. column k=2: A(2, x) = x*A(1, x) + x*E(1, x) = x*1 + x*(exp(x)-1) = x*exp(x), hence E(2, x) = (1 + int(x*exp(-x),x ))*exp(2*x) = exp(x)*(exp(x) - (1+x)). See A000295. (End)

T(n, k) = A173018(n, n-k), 0 <= k <= n. Row reversed Euler's triangle. See Graham et al., p. 268.
Recurrence (from A173018): T(n, 0) = 1 if n=0 else 0; T(n, k) = 0 if n < k and T(n, k) = (n+1-k)*T(n-1, k-1) + k*T(n-1, k) else.
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^(k-j)*binomial(n-j, k-j)*S2(n, j)*j!, 0 <= k <= n, else 0. For S2(n, k)*k! see A131689.
The recurrence for the o.g.f. of the sequence of column k is
G(k, x) = (x/(1 - k*x))*(E_x - (k-2))*G(k-1, x), with the Euler operator E_x = x*d_x, for k >= 1, with G(0, x) = 1. (Proof from the recurrence of T(n, k)).
The e.g.f of the sequence of column k is found from E(k, x) = (1 + int(A(k, x),x)*exp(-k*x))*exp(k*x), k >= 1, with the recurrence
A(k, x) = x*A(k-1, x) +(1 + (1-k)*(1-x))*E(k-1, x) for k >= 1, with A(0,x)= 0. (Proof from the recurrence of T(n, k)). (End)

The sequence is the same no matter which of the six patterns of three letters is chosen as the one to be avoided.

Examples

			a(6) = 31 because there are 32 compositions of 6 into positive parts and only one of these, namely 6 = 1+2+3, contains the pattern (123), the other 31 compositions of 6 avoid that pattern.

Comments

A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n.
We define a pattern to be a finite sequence covering an initial interval of positive integers. Patterns are counted by A000670 and ranked by A333217. A sequence S is said to match a pattern P if there is a not necessarily contiguous subsequence of S whose parts have the same relative order as P. For example, (3,1,1,3) matches (1,1,2), (2,1,1), and (2,1,2), but avoids (1,2,1), (1,2,2), and (2,2,1).

Examples

			The 8 compositions of 4 together with the a(4) = 32 patterns they match:
  4:   31:   13:   22:   211:   121:   112:   1111:
-----------------------------------------------------
  ()   ()    ()    ()    ()     ()     ()     ()
  (1)  (1)   (1)   (1)   (1)    (1)    (1)    (1)
       (21)  (12)  (11)  (11)   (11)   (11)   (11)
                         (21)   (12)   (12)   (111)
                         (211)  (21)   (112)  (1111)
