COMMENT

The rank of reduced homology groups for the matroid complex of acyclic subgraphs in complete graph K_n (n>1). It is also the number of labeled edge-rooted forests on n-1 nodes where each connected component contains at least one edge.

The description of this sequence as the number of labeled edge-rooted forests on n-1 nodes appeared in W. Kook's Ph.D. thesis (G. Carlsson, advisor), Categories of acyclic graphs and automorphisms of free groups, Stanford University, 1996.

FORMULA

E.g.f.: exp(1/2*LambertW(-x)^2). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Apr 10 2001

Exponential generating function: \int \exp( Sum_{m>1}(m-1)*m^{m-2}*x^{m}/m!) dx

(n-1) Sum_{k=0}^{[(n-2)/2]} {(n-2)! \over 2^k k! (n-2-2k)!} n^{n-2-2k}.

E.g.f.: \exp( Sum_{m>1}(m-1)*m^{m-2}*x^{m}/m!).

E.g.f.: \int(exp(1/2*LambertW(-x)^2)dx). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Apr 10 2001

EXAMPLE

For n=4, the number of labeled edge-rooted forests on three (= n-1) nodes is 6: There are 3 labeled trees on three nodes. These are the only forests with at least one edge in each connected component. Each tree has 2 edges, and each of the two may be marked as the root.

MAPLE

for n from 1 to 50 do printf(`%d, `, (n-1)*sum((n-2)!/(2^k*k!*(n-2-2*k)!)*n^(n-2-2*k), k=0..floor((n-2)/2))) od:

MATHEMATICA

s=20; (*generates first s terms starting from n=2*) K := Exp[Sum[(m-1)*(m^(m-2))*(x^m)/m!, {m, 2, 2s}]]; S := Series[K, {x, 0, s}]; h[i_] := SeriesCoefficient[S, i-1]*(i-1)!; Table[h[n+1], {n, s}]

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, 0, (n-1)!*polcoeff(exp(sum(k=1, n-1, k^(k-1)*x^k/k!, O(x^n))^2/2), n-1))

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<2, n==1, sum(k=0, (n-3)\2, (n-1)!/(2^k*k!*(n-3-2*k)!)*(n-1)^(n-4-2*k)))
