Topic: Bell numbers in mathlib?


Amir Livne Bar-on (Oct 21 2024 at 17:48):

Thinking about issue 148, I tried to find Bell numbers in Mathlib. Catalan numbers exist under Mathlib.Combinatorics.Enumerative, and there is Finpartition for the kind of partitions that Bell numbers count. Searching for Bell in the API doesn't find anything.

Does anybody know if the definition exists? Otherwise it seems like we should separate their definition to a different issue, if only for task complexity considerations.

Perhaps ask in #Is there code for X? ?

I can imagine providing the definition of a bell number and basic api being a useful contribution from this project to mathlib
