COMMENT

Density of regular language L over {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} (i.e. number of strings of length n in L) described by regular expression with c=8: sum_{i=1..c}(prod_{j=1..i}(j(1+..+j)*) where sum stands for union and prod for concatenation.

FORMULA

For c=8, a(n)= (c^n)/c!+sum_{k=1..c-2}((k^n)/k!*(sum_{j=2..c-k}(((-1)^j)/j!))) or = sum_{k=1..c}(g(k, c)*k^n) where g(1, 1)=1 g(1, c)=g(1, c-1)+((-1)^(c-1))/(c-1)!, c>1 g(k, c)=g(k-1, c-1)/k, for c>1 and 2<= k<= c
