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:

    “Those feelings of envy are familiar to many of us. We see our children accomplishing things that we’ve always been afraid to try, or we give them opportunities that we never had, and we find ourselves feeling jealousy mixed with our pride, or we feel resentful when they take it all for granted.”
