%N Number of multiple hierarchies for n labeled elements.

%C The n labeled elements 1,2,3,...,n can be distributed in A005651(n) ways onto the levels of a single hierarchy. For the present sequence we distributed the n elements onto 1 up to n separate hierarchies. a(n) gives the number of such separate hierarchies for given n.

%C A hierarchy is a distribution of elements onto levels. Within a hierarchy the occupation number of level l_j is <= the occupation numbers of the levels l_i with i < j. Let the colon ":" separate two levels l_i and l_(j=i+1). Then we may have 1,2,3:4,5, but 1,2:3,4,5 is forbidden since the higher level has a greater occupation number. On the other hand, for a hierarchical ordering the second configuration is allowed.

%C The present sequence is the Exp transform of A005651.

%C The present sequence is related to A075729 which gives the number of separated hierarchical orderings. A034691 gives the number of separated hierarchical orderings for unlabeled elements. Thus we have

%C Hierarchies on elements:

%C ........ unlabeled labeled

%C single A000041 A005651

%C multiple A001970 A143463

%C Hierarchical orderings on elements:

%C ........ unlabeled labeled

%C single A000079 A000670

%C multiple A034691 A075729

%F Consider the set partitions of the n-set {1,2,...,n}. As usual, Bell(n) denotes the Bell numbers. The i-th set partition SP(i)={U(1),...,U(Z(i))} consists of Z(i) subsets U(j) with j=1,2,...,Z(i). |U(j)| is the number of elements in U(j). Then a(n) = Sum_{i=1..Bell(n)} Product_{j=1..Z(i)} A005651(|U(j)|). E.g.f.: series((1/exp(1))*exp(mul(1/(1-x^k/k!), k=1..12)), x=0,12);

%F a(n) = (n-1)! * Sum_{k=1..n} (a(n-k) A005651(k))/((n-k)! (k-1)!). - _Thomas Wieder_, Sep 09 2008

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(n-1,k-1)*A005651(k)*a(n-k) and a(0)=1. - _Thomas Wieder_, Sep 12 2008

%e Let "|" separate two hierarchies. Then we have

%e n=1 gives 1 arrangement:

%e 1

%e n=2 gives 4 arrangements:

%e 1,2 1:2 2:1 1|2

%e n=3 gives 20 arrangements:
