A216403 - OEIS

The OEIS is supported by the many generous donors to the OEIS Foundation.

Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..15.

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 4 because the A000108(3) = 5 possible parenthesizations of x^x^x^x lead to 4 different values of the 10th derivative at x=1: (x^(x^(x^x))) -> 37616880; ((x^x)^(x^x)), ((x^(x^x))^x) -> 42409440; (x^((x^x)^x)) -> 77899320; (((x^x)^x)^x) -> 66712680.
