Integer Sequences Connected with Extensions of the Bell Polynomials

摘要

The Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences includes some sequences that are connected with the Bell numbers and that have a particular combinatorial meaning. In this article, we find a general meaning for framing sequences, including the above mentioned ones. Furthermore, by using Laguerre-type derivatives, we derive the Laguerre-type Bell numbers of higher order, showing, as a by-product, that it is possible to construct new integer sequences which are not included in the Encyclopedia.
