Formulation F12215 on D2913: Bell coefficient
F12215
Formulation 3
Let $n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ each be a D996: Natural number such that
(i) $\text{Part} (n)$ is the D2910: Set of proper set partitions for $\{ 1, \ldots, n \}$
The Bell coefficient with respect to $(n, m)$ is the D996: Natural number \begin{equation} {n \brace m} : = \left\{ P \in \text{Part} (n) : |P| = m \right\} \end{equation}
