I want to find a combinatorial formula that given a certain number of integers, I can find the number of all possible groupings of these integers (such that all values belong to a single group)
Say I have 3 integers, 1, 2, 3 There would be 5 groupings:
1 2 3
1|2|3|
1 2|3
1|2 3
2|1 3
I have calculated these computationally for N = 3 to 11, but I am trying to theoretically assertain. These values are: (I believe they are correct)
num_integers num_groupings
3 5
4 15
5 52
6 203
7 877
8 4140
9 21147
10 115975
11 678570
The reason for doing this is to find the total number of partitionings of a complete graph.
Any advice, or references would be appreciated
