Generalized Near-Bell Numbers
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 gen...
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...
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 کاملA Möbius Inversion Formula for Generalized Lefschetz Numbers
Let G be a finite group and f : U ⊂ M → M a compactly fixed G-equivariant self-map of a G-manifold M ; the aim of the paper is to give an answer to the following question: if for every subgroup H ⊂ G the restricted map f : U →M can be deformed (non-equivariantly and via a compactly fixed homotopy) to be fixed point free, is it true that f can be deformed (via a compactly fixed homotopy) equivar...
متن کاملA generalized recurrence formula for Stirling numbers and related sequences
In this note, we provide a combinatorial proof of a generalized recurrence formula satisfied by the Stirling numbers of the second kind. We obtain two extensions of this formula, one in terms of r-Whitney numbers and another in terms of q-Stirling numbers of Carlitz. Modifying our proof yields analogous formulas satisfied by the r-Stirling numbers of the first kind and by the r-Lah numbers.
