Bell Polynomials

In combinatorial mathematics, the Bell polynomials, named in honor of Eric Temple Bell, are a triangular array of polynomials given by

=\sum{n! \over j_1!j_2!\cdots j_{n-k+1}!} \left({x_1\over 1!}\right)^{j_1}\left({x_2\over 2!}\right)^{j_2}\cdots\left({x_{n-k+1} \over (n-k+1)!}\right)^{j_{n-k+1}},

where the sum is taken over all sequences j1, j2, j3, ..., jn−k+1 of non-negative integers such that

Famous quotes containing the word bell:

    “His are the quiet steeps of dreamland,
    The waters of no-more-pain;
    His ram’s bell rings ‘neath an arch of stars,
    “Rest, rest, and rest again.””
    —Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
