FORMULA

The generating function given by Comtet and Fiolet is incorrect.

a(n)=coeff of t^nu^{n-1} in prod_{i,j>=0,(i,j)<>(0,1)}(1-t^iu^{i+j-1})^{-1}. - Tom Wilde (tom(AT)beech84.fsnet.co.uk), Jan 19 2008

EXAMPLE

d^2y/dx^2 = -F_xx/F_y + 2*F_xF_xy/F_y^2 -F_x^2F_yy/F_y^3, where F_x denotes partial derivative wrt x, etc. This has three terms, thus a(n)=3

PROGRAM

(VBA, from Tom Wilde) Sub Calc_AofN_upto_E()

E = 30

ReDim p(0 To E - 1, 0 To E): ReDim q(0 To E - 1, 0 To E)

For m = 1 To E - 1: For d = 1 To m

If m = d * Int(m / d) Then

For i = 0 To m / d + 1

If d * i <= E Then q(m, i * d) = q(m, i * d) + 1 / d

Next: End If: Next: Next

For j = 0 To E

p(0, j) = 1

Next

For n = 1 To E - 1: For s = 0 To n: For j = 0 To E: For i = 0 To j

p(n, j) = p(n, j) + 1 / n * s * q(s, j - i) * p(n - s, i)

Next: Next: Next: Next

For n = 1 To E

Debug.Print p(n - 1, n)

End Sub
