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 56th year, we are closing in on 350,000 sequences, and we’ve crossed 9,700 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

From Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2011: (Start)

Given analytic functions F(x) and FI(x) such that F(FI(x))=FI(F(x))=x about 0, i.e., they are compositional inverses of each other, then, with g(x)= 1/dFI(x)/dx, a flow function W(s,x) can be defined with the following relations:

W(s,x)= exp(s g(x)d/dx)x = F(s+FI(x)) <flow fct.>,

W(s,0)= F(s), <orbit of the flow>,

W(0,x)= x  <identity property>,

dW(0,x)/ds = g(x) = F'[FI(x)], <infinitesimal generator>, implying

dW(0,F(x))/ds = g(F(x)) = F'(x), <autonomous diff. eqn.>, and

W(s,W(r,x)) = F(s+FI(F(r+FI(x)))) = F(s+r+FI(x)) = W(s+r,x) <group property>. (See MF link below.) (End)

dW(s,x)/ds - g(x)dW(s,x)/dx = 0, so (1,-g(x)) are the components of a vector orthogonal to the gradient of W and, therefore, tangent to the contour of W, at (s,x) <tangency property>. - Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2011

Though A139605 contains A145271, the op. of A145271 contains that of A139605 in the sense that exp(s g(x)d/dx) w(x)= w(F(s+FI(x)))

  = exp((exp(s g(x)d/dx)x)d/du)w(u) evaluated at u=0. This is reflected in the fact that the forest of rooted trees assoc. to (g(x)d/dx)^n, FOR_n, can be generated by removing the single trunk of the planted rooted trees of FOR_(n+1). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2011

Related to formal group laws for elliptic curves (see Hoffman). - Tom Copeland, Feb 24 2012

The functional equation W(s,x)=F(s+FI(x)), or a restriction of it, is sometimes called the Abel equation or Abel's functional equation (see Houzel and Wikipedia) and is related to Schröder's functional equation and Koenigs functions for compositional iterates (Alexander, Goryainov and Kudryavtseva). - Tom Copeland, Apr 04 2012

g(W(s,x)) = F'(s + FI(x)) = dW(s,x)/ds = g(x) dW(s,x)/dx, connecting the operators here to presentations of the Koenigs / Königs function and Loewner / Löwner evolution equations of the Contreras et al. papers. - Tom Copeland, Jun 03 2018

The autonomous differential equation above also appears with a change in variable of the form x = log(u) in the renormalization group equation, or Beta function. See Wikipedia, Zinn-Justin equations 2.10 and 3.11, and Krajewski and Martinetti equation 21. - Tom Copeland, Jul 23 2020

FORMULA

Let R = g(x)d/dx; then

R^0 g(x) = 1 (0')^1

R^1 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^1

R^2 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^2 + 1 (0')^2 (2')^1

R^3 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^3 + 4 (0')^2 (1')^1 (2')^1 + 1 (0')^3 (3')^1

R^4 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^4 + 11 (0')^2 (1')^2 (2')^1 + 4 (0')^3 (2')^2 + 7 (0')^3 (1')^1 (3')^1 + 1 (0')^4 (4')^1

R^5 g(x) = 1 (0') (1')^5 + 26 (0')^2 (1')^3 (2') + (0')^3 [34 (1') (2')^2 + 32 (1')^2 (3')] + (0')^4 [ 15 (2') (3') + 11 (1') (4')] + (0')^5 (5')

R^6 g(x) = 1 (0') (1')^6 + 57 (0')^2 (1')^4 (2') + (0')^3 [180 (1')^2 (2')^2 + 122 (1')^3 (3')] + (0')^4 [ 34 (2')^3 + 192 (1') (2') (3') + 76 (1')^2 (4')] + (0')^5 [15 (3')^2 + 26 (2') (4') + 16 (1') (5')] + (0')^6 (6')

where (j')^k = ((d/dx)^j g(x))^k. And R^(n-1) g(x) evaluated at x=0 is the n-th Taylor series coefficient of the compositional inverse of h(x)= (d/dx)^(-1) 1/g(x), with the integral from 0 to x.

The partitions are in reverse order to those in Abramowitz and Stegun p. 831. Summing over coefficients with like powers of (0') gives A008292.

Confer A190015 for another way to compute numbers for the array for each partition. - Tom Copeland, Oct 17 2014

Equivalent matrix computation: Multiply the n-th diagonal (with n=0 the main diagonal) of the lower triangular Pascal matrix by g_n = (d/dx)^n g(x) to obtain the matrix VP with VP(n,k) = binomial(n,k) g_(n-k). Then R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0,..) [VP * S]^n (g_0, g_1, g_2, ..)^T, where S is the shift matrix A129185, representing differentiation in the divided powers basis x^n/n!. - Tom Copeland, Feb 10 2016 (An evaluation removed by author on Jul 19 2016. Cf. A139605 and A134685.)

Also, R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0,..) [VP * S]^(n+1) (0, 1, 0, ..)^T in agreement with A139605. - Tom Copeland, Jul 21 2016

A recursion relation for computing each partition polynomial of this entry from the lower order polynomials and the coefficients of the cycle index polynomials of A036039 is presented in the blog entry "Formal group laws and binomial Sheffer sequences". - Tom Copeland, Feb 06 2018

A formula for computing the polynomials of each row of this matrix is presented as T_{n,1} on p. 196 of the Ihara reference in A139605. - Tom Copeland, Mar 25 2020

EXAMPLE

From Tom Copeland, Sep 19 2014: (Start)

Let h(x)=log((1+a*x)/(1+b*x))/(a-b); then, g(x)=1/(dh(x)/dx)=(1+ax)(1+bx), so (0')=1, (1')= a+b, (2')= 2ab, evaluated at x=0, and higher order derivatives of g(x) vanish. Therefore, evaluated at x=0,

R^0 g(x) =  1

R^1 g(x) =  a+b

R^2 g(x) = (a+b)^2 + 2ab = a^2 + 4 ab + b^2

R^3 g(x) = (a+b)^3 + 4 (a+b)*2ab = a^3 + 11 a^2*b + 11 ab^2 + b^3

R^4 g(x) = (a+b)^4 + 11 (a+b)^2*2ab + 4 (2ab)^2

         =  a^4 + 26 a^3*b + 66 a^2*b^2 + 26 ab^3 + b^4,

etc., and these bivariate Eulerian polynomials (A008292) are the first few coefficients of h^(-1)(x)=(e^(ax)-e^(bx))/(a*e^(bx)-b*e^(ax)), the inverse of h(x). (End)
