For example, the coefficient of the fourth order term in the Taylor series expansion of 1/(a(0) + a(1) x + a(2) x^2/2! + a(3) x^3/3! + ...) is a(0)^(-5) * {24 a(1)^4 - 36 a(1)^2 a(2) a(0) + [8 a(1) a(3) + 6 a(2)^2] a(0)^2 - a(4) a(0)^3} . %C A049019 The unsigned coefficients characterize the P3 permutohedron depicted on page 10 in the Loday link with 24 vertices (0-D faces), 36 edges (1-D faces), 6 squares (2-D faces), 8 hexagons (2-D faces) and 1 3-D permutohedron. Summing coefficients over like dimensions gives A019538 and A090582. Compare to A133437 for the associahedron. %C A049019 Given the n by n lower triangular matrix M = [ binomial(j,k) u(j-k) ], the first column of the inverse matrix M^(-1) contains the (n-1) rows of A049019 as the coefficients of the multinomials formed from the u(j). M^(-1) can be computed as (1/u(0)){I - [I- M/u(0)]^n} / {I - [I- M/u(0)]} = - u(0)^(-n) {sum(j=1 to n)(-1)^j bin(n,j) u(0)^(n-j) M^(j-1)} where I is the identity matrix. %C A049019 Another method for computing the coefficients and partitions up to (n-1) rows is to use (1-x^n)/ (1-x) = 1+x^2+x^3+ ... + x^n with x replaced either by [I- M/a(0)] or [1- g(x)/a(0)] with the n by n matrix M = [bin(j,k) a(j-k)] and g(x)= a(0) + a(1)x + a(2)x^2/2! + ... + a(n) x^n/n! . The first n terms (rows of the first column) of the resulting series (matrix) divided by a(0) contain the (n-1) rows of signed coefficients and associated partitions for A049019. %C A049019 To obtain unsigned coefficients, change a(j) to -a(j) for j>0. A133314 contains other matrices and recursion formulae that could be used. The Faa di Bruno formula gives the coefficients as n! [e(1)+e(2)+...+e(n)]! / [1!^e(1) e(1)! 2!^e(2) e(2)!... n!^e(n) e(n)! ] for the partition of form [a(1)^e(1)...a(n)^e(n)] with [e(1)+2e(2)+...+ n e(n)] = n (see Abramowitz and Stegun pages 823 and 831) in agreement with Arnold's formula.
