Bell Coefficients Calculation

Description

This function calculates Bell coefficients as described on p.134–139 of Comtet (1974) for calculating high order derivative of composite function f(g(x)) wrt x, say.

Usage

  Bell(n)

Arguments

n

Derivative order n > 1.

Details

Bell calls the functions in package partititions, see http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/partitions/partitions.pdf.

Note

Combinatorial computation intensifies as n increases.
