COMMENT

a(n)is the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of n+1 into nine or fewer parts. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Jan 24 2009]

REFERENCES

L. Comtet, Advanced Combinatorics, Reidel, 1974, p. 72, Problem 2.

FORMULA

a(n)=sum(binomial(n+1, 2k), k=0..4), compare A008859.

G.f.: (1-7x+22x^2-40x^3+46x^4-34x^5+16x^6-4x^7+x^8)/(1-x)^9 a(n)= (n^8-20n^7+210n^6-1064n^5+3969n^4-4340n^3+15980n^2+25584n+40320)/8! [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Jan 24 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(9)=511 because all but one (namely 1+1+1+...+1=10) of the 2^9 compositions of 10 are in nine or fewer parts. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Jan 24 2009]
