COMMENT

This is the second kind of Whitney numbers, which count elements, not to be confused with the first kind, which sum Mobius functions. - Thomas Zaslavsky (zaslav(AT)math.binghamton.edu), May 07 2008

REFERENCES

E. Munarini, N. Zagaglia Salvi, On the Rank Polynomial of the Lattice of Order Ideals of Fences and Crowns, Discrete Mathematics 259 (2002), 163-177.

FORMULA

G.f.: function = (1+2*t^2-t^3-(1-t)*sqrt(1-2*t-t^2-2*t^3+t^4))/(2*t*sqrt(1-2*t-t^2-2*t^3+t^4))

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 3 because the ideals of size 2 of the fence F(5) = { x1 < x2 > x3 < x4 > x5 } are x1x2, x1x3, x2x3.
