Stirling transform Stirling transform In combinatorial mathematics, the Stirling transform of a sequence { "a" : "n" = 1, 2, 3, ... } of numbers is the sequence { "b" : "n" = 1, 2, 3, ... } given by where formula_2 is the Stirling number of the second kind, also denoted "S"("n","k") (with a capital "S"), which is the number of partitions of a set of size "n" into "k" parts. The inverse transform is where "s"("n","k") (with a lower-case "s") is a Stirling number of the first kind. Berstein and Sloane (cited below) state "If "a" is the number of
