New formulas for Stirling-like numbers and Dobinski-like formulas (0803.1416v2)
Published 10 Mar 2008 in math.CO and cs.DM
Abstract: Extensions of the $Stirling$ numbers of the second kind and $Dobinski$ -like formulas are proposed in a series of exercises for graduates. Some of these new formulas recently discovered by me are to be found in the source paper $ [1]$. These extensions naturally encompass the well known $q$- extensions. The indicatory references are to point at a part of the vast domain of the foundations of computer science in arxiv affiliation.
