We prove that the V(n, k) are also related to the numbers W(n, k) defined by fc! 2 W(n, k)x"/n< = [(*-2)(e*-l)]fc n=0 in much the same way the associated Stirling numbers are related to the Stirling numbers. Finally, we examine, more generally, the Bell polynomials Bn k(ax, a2, 3-a, 4-a, 5-a, ...) and show how the methods of this paper can be used to prove several formulas involving the Bernoulli and Stirling numbers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
