Re: Pure problem

I verified the results and it seems that:


too. So we get new formula for the stirling numbers!

Re: Pure problem

Here's analytic definition of p_k (n) in Mathematica language:
p := If[#1 == 1, #2(#2 + 1)/2, Sum[i #0[#1 - 1, i], {i, 1, #2}]] &

Example:
p[1,n]=n(n+1)/2

Re: Pure problem

Strange.
Here's a table of the denominators of p_i (n) for i =1 to 20.
Can someone tell me something about this sequence?

Re: Pure problem

Now I'm veryfing the proposition for n,k <=100. It will take some time.
